alleged narrowing description to VIM
ter wheat set the trade ia c0mmotion
to-day and added 23sc to the value Of
May wheat and &c to July. Corn. oats
and provisions all benefited, the inn
provement being Mc in corn, H@ssc in
oats, Toe in pork, 21sc in lard and Sc
in ribs.
Wheat spectators gave fresh turn
to the kaleidoscope at the opening and
what looked black and forbidding at
the close yesterday had gay, rainbow
appearance when business commenced
May opened 14@ssc higher at from
711sc down to 7lasc, I0ucher TN fol
a moment and then began to rise.
Liverpool market was firm instead OF
being weak. The strength absorbed
was not nearly so powerful a factor,
however, as the home news about dam
age to winter wheat Damage reports
were general coming from all quarters
where winter wheat is grown. The
conviction forced itself upon many
skeptics that the amount of injury
done by the unfavorable winter was
greater than anything of the kind in
number of years and much heavier
than could be compensated by increas-
ed acreage. Every courtrylnan who
had an acquaintance in the commits
sion business appeared TO have consid-
cred it a duty to report wholesale de-
struction to crops. The ordinary mar
ket information relating to receipts or
shipments did not receive much at
tertiOn. May consequently KEPT ris-
ing from 7114c until the price reached
723ac. At that point some realizing
resulted in q slight reaction. Chicago
got - cars, of which only two were
of graded contract. Minneapolis and
Duluth received 453 car loads, compar-
ed with $50 the same day year ago.
The total of western primary markets
was about the same as last year, and
Atlantic port clearances of wheat and
flour were light. The market became
very strong in the last hour Of the
session and rose rapidly from around
713sc for May to 1880, closing at
73Ac July made rapid strides TO
overtake May, and all but caught up
at the end. They were only &c apart
at the close, July leaving off worth
73Mc.
Corn followed the advancing wheat
market with apparent reluctancy dur
ing the first half of the session, but
after that the upward tendency was not
so persistently opposed by the bears
and made more rapid progress. The
threatened lateness of the planting
season was about the only independent
reason for strength in corn. Receipts,
142 cars. May opened A@Bc higher
at 35a4 @357sc, weakened to 353sc, then
advanced to $3.50 The closing figure.
Oats were firm an higher in sympa-
thy with the other grains. The spread
between May and July was narrowed
A@3sc owing to delayed seeding. Re
ceipts, 131 cars May began 1sc up at
265s@26%c, and rose to 26Hc at the
close.
Provisions ruled quiet but strong at
a moderate advance. The tirmness
was with grains. May pork started &c
higher at $9.171s, sold off to S9.12A2,
improved to 1925, and closed at S9.2212.
The range in lard and IDS was mar
row.
Estimated receipts for Thursday:
Wheat, 40 cars; corn, 145 cars; oats,
40 cars: hogs, $4,000 head.
