markets were strong to-day, the for
mer helped principally by higher cables
and a good export demand. Wheat
closed &61c higher, corn 1SG11Ec bet
ter and oats &c improved. The mar
ket for hog products at the close was
from TIC to l5c higher.
Wheat began the day fairly active
and firm. Liverpool was strong; re-
ceipts were moderate and there was Il
good demand from foreigners. More
over, the pressure from longs seemed
to be past. Offerings were light and
there was fair amount OF buying by
commission house. This caused a
gradual advance, which was helped
along forcefully by the great corn
strength and the close was very close to
the top. Shorts covered freely through
out most Of the session. a feature Of
the trade was the ease with which the
market responded TO bull influences,
and the absence Of bearish pressure de-
spite the perfect climatic conditions,
even Michigan. Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio, reporting prospects somewhat i'm
proved. The cash business here was

Corn was strong and active through
out the day. but the trade WIGS not
large--offerings were too small for that.
Many held that II was the leading deal
on the board. but the greater part Of
the time honors seemed to be easy be-
tween the big cereal and wheat. The
market apparently was partly the re-
suit OF the recent heavy buying by
bulls. as there was little lett to absorb.
For such as was offered there was
scramble between longs and shorts,
with the latter the more urgent IN their
demands There was n brisk demand
for export and the days cash business
was Appropriated at 100000 bushels.

port and the domestic demand was cN-
cellent, Considerable May was traded
