by speculative longs to-day weakened
wheat. The decline was checked by some
export business at the seaboard, and at the
close May wheat had recovered all but nc
of an early slump of 7sG1c. Corn and oats
freed themselves from their entangling
alliance with wheat, and left off with an
improvement of sc in corn and A63sc in
oats Pork advanced 5Q712c; lard 2lac
