The wheat market concluded .
month which has boosted the price OF
May wheat up lA@lisc in q very quiet
manner. III vain did holders point to
the higher cables from Liverpool and

to-day that characterized yesterday $
session, and there seemed TO be plenty
for sale, but ii was not large specuia-

1888 year ago. Receipts here were AZ
cars, none Of contract grade.

bids were strong. two things which
combined to give the pit an appearance
Of activity, and yet the business done

strength early because OF the higher
cables from Liverpool and the usual
light country Offering, May selling at

the activity OF recent days IN the pro-
visions pit to-day. The market was
easier, too. Hogs we're generally weak

selling on stop loss orders. and less of
an outside demand than during the per-
Tod which carried May pork for gains
of more than q dollar. Shipments for
the week were less than for the same
period last year. Liverpool was lower
