visions market was 2k@7hc depress-
ed.
Under the domination of higher
cables from both Liverpool and Paris
and the strength of corn May wheat
opened 5sc over yesterday at 65BGG6c.
Trade for a time was fairly active,
shorts covering freely. To-day's cash
business amounted to 100000 bushels
but it was reported done at lower
prices than yesterday. This, together
with larger receipts and the small
clearances, the good weather and the
fact that the close was rather heavy,
May only a shade over yesterday at
655sc.
With Liverpool 1H@Ad up, light
country offerings and a good outside
demand gave an exhibition Of obsti-
nate perversity by slowly sagging from
the advance position assumed at the
opening, which was ac up for May at
38A @3sc. The loss in price was due
to persistent profit taking by longs.
Cash business was rather slow,
amounting to only $4,000 bushels. The
first half hour the market was broad
and active, but after it was quiet ard
rather narrow. May declined to 37%c,
closing heavy at that price, a shade
under yesterday.
May oats ranged from 24I1sc to
24B@Ac and closed a shade up at
24Bc.
May pork sold from s11 STU t.
IL 72h and closed TIC down at II 721s
May lard from Sc Is to SO 20, closing
5@7Hs lower at So 20, and May ribs
from Sc IS to Sc 80 with the close 2hc
down at Sc 30@6 32h.
