advance and the steadiness OF Liver
pool were the main factors in the
strength of a fairly active wheat mar
ket to-day. May closing at &c over
yesterday. Corn closed A@Ac higher
and oats unchanged. At the close pro-
visions were unchanged to 21s@5c
lower.
May wheat opened K@Ac under yes
terday's close at 66% lee, actuated by
an initial decline at Liverpool of SD.
The dip was only momentary a the
English market steadied early and
Paris showed another advance. Trade
was active, foreigners and influential
locals were good buyers and profess
sional traders covered lines put out
early. May advanced to &c, where for
some time the market ruled firm but
rather dull. Later a sDasm Of profit
taking depresses the price of May to
66%@k, but a sharp recovery follow
ed as outside markets were firm, pri-
mary receipts light and clearances lib
eral. The Northwest was a good buyer
at this stage of the session. May adj
vanced to, 67@B c and closed strong %c
over yesterday at &c. On the advance
trade was again fairly active. Local
receipts were 307 900 bushels against
638,00 last year. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported 218 cars, compared with
296 last week and 587 a year ago. Re-
ceipts here were 4S cars, one of con-
tract grade. Atlantic port clearances
in wheat and flour were equal to 654,-
600 bushels. Minneapolis reported
some improvement in demand for cash
for wheat. Corn was dull throughout
the session and inclined to be heavy
but the strength of wheat had a stead
wing effect and neal the end influenced
enough buying to result in a gain over
last night. Country offerings were re-
ported a little freer and the weather
was regarded as favorable to the move
ment. The heavy clearances at the
seaboard 81S, 90 bushels wa an o
agement to the bulls, although 721 900
bushels of it were from New Orleans
alone. The shipping demand was slow
but some business was transacted.
Receipts here were 355 cars. May
ranged from 32Bc to 33Ac, closing Is
@Ac up at 33Ac.
The trade in oats was light and the
tone generally weak, but the strength
of wheat boosted the market near the
close to a level with yesterdays final
figures. The first hour was fairly ac-
tive and, actuated by the depression of
corn, there was same country selling.
Some holdings also came out on stop
loss orders. After that the market was
quiet. Receipts here were 300 cars.
May sold from 23Ato 23hc, closing IN
changed at 231ac.
With receipts of hogs under the esti-
mate, the weakness of provisions was
practically particularly disappointing
to the bears. Prices at the yards, how
ever, were rather weak. The market
opened easy and a trife lower but
steadied for demand. Later influential
selling. principally of May pork and
lard caused weakness, light offerings
Of ribs holding that product steady
most of the time. The close was fair
ly steady, a little owe the bottom. May
pork sold from $40 92R to $40 75@
10 77k and closed up five cents under
yesterday at $40 S2h; May lard from
Sc O5 to SIS 97h@6 90, closing a shade
depressed at Sc 0006 021a, and May
