LOCAL. FEELING RULES
In Grains, and Higher Hogs
in Provisions.
MAY WHEAT UNCHANGED
Corn Up; Oats Down-Good
Gains in Provisions.

Chicago, April 14.-Local sentiment and
conditions governed the grain markets
today, while provisions reflected the high
er price of hogs. May wheat closed I'M
changed, May corn 2s91ac up, and May
oats 14G9sc lower. Provisions closed from
zoe improved in pork to 271ac up in May
lard.
May wheat opened ssG1kc depressed
from Thursday, at 6e1s 121zc, and adj
vanced to t61ac, at which price il closed
unchanged from Thursday. Instead OF
the stop-loss decline which many had
looked for at this point, commission
houses were able to produce many buy
ing orders which had been lying around
for weeks. Under this stimulus and the
strength Of corn and provisions, together
with a mild reiteration of the damage re-
ports from France. the advance took
place without material setback Con-
sidering the closing OF many markets
and the curtailment of news the session
was fairly active. Mondays statistics are
expected to be bullish rather than bear
ish,, but not strikingly so. The early
loss was due principally to the fine
weather. Primary receipts or two days
were 10000 bushels, against 225,090 year
ago. Local receipts were l15 cars, one OF
contract grade. Atlantic port clearances
for two days were equal in wheat and
flour to 670,0o9 bushels.
The corn market opened easier, May Is
614c lower, at 3S63S24c to 3S12G23S5sc. The
influences were purely local. there being
nothing in the way of news 10 stimulate
the market, and the shipping tPsiness
was unimpOrtant. A prominent specula-
tor whose movements are closely watched
and who was believed to have dumped
out some long stuff, was on the floor and
denied that he had been a seller. Instead
he bought openly and with this example
and the strength of provisions in consid-
Grafton others on the floor of Change
joined the ranks of the purchasers. May
accordingly rallied to $3.50 and closed
strong, 2sd1ac over Thursday, at 391zc.
There was not a soft spot in the pro-
visions market. Hogs were decidedly
higher at the yards. forming the chief
bull influence There was, CT course,
profit-taking, but such sales were readily
absorbed at nearly all times. The buy
ing of lard was the feature. May pork
closed 20c up at $l2.S712 May lard 2E13c
improved at $7.271a, and May ribs 2215c
better, at $7.2215
Oats were quiet and the range narrow,
May selling from IA to bic, closing at
the latter price, A4c under Thursday.
Estimated receipts Monday: Wheat, IS
cars; corn, AS cars; oats, 230 cars; hogs,
Is 600 head.
