was of a puzzling nature, but later in the day
the reports became worse than ever while
the dry weather was suggestive of still mere
damage A private cablegram from Berlin in
dicated a possibility of Russia prohibiting
ports OF grain account of famine. This
announcement. together with the depressing
character of the home crop Information, i'm
parted some courage to buyers, and for time
the market exhibited upward tendency.
The pressure TO sell May wheat became quite
urgent at times. and the early strength grad
ually disappeared. May opened at 731s@73Ac.
vance to 74lhc. reacted TO 1859 and closed at
7S19@7S9sc.
Light receipts and good shipping demand
strengthened corn. May started shade higher
at 43&4c. and closed at 34%@34kc.
Buying by elevator people against cash sales
steadied oats. May opened a shade lower at
26Is@255sc. closed 265ac
Light receipts OF hogs had a frming infiu-
ence on the provision market. Shipments OF
meats during the week were liberal. May
pork opened unchanged at 50 O5, closed with
sellers at that figure. The range in lard and
ribs small.

amount consumed. We have not had delivery
of foreign coal for three weeks, clearly show
ing that the coast deliveries make us almost in
dependent for tuel and that no famine would
be created If we were without any foreign ar
rivals. OF course, If outside fuel was not i'm
ported consumers would be forced to pay high
er prices, the coast producers would natur-
ally increase values if Australia and Great
Britain did not regulate selling prices. Con-
siderable guessing is being done to the eff
feet to be produced on the future market, when
grain carriers commence to head this way to
move our crops. Their incoming cargoes will
probably consist of fully 70 per cent coal, and
this should naturally tend to disturb values
somewhat. This is shaped entirely by the
rates of freight they will receive for handling
our grain IL they are liberal, coal will be
