down. Corn closed a shade higher
and oats unchanged.
The provisions market was strong all
day. Receipts at the yards were un-
der the estimate and prices up. Init
ial figures showed a gain about equal to
that shown at the close. At advanced
figures the demand was excellent from
all sources. The market was active
and broad. The demand from the south
retained Its recently developed vigor,
and the outside trade generally was on
large scale. influential local houses
were good buyers, largely Of lard and
ribs. At no time was there any pres
sure to sell. Offerings were nearly all
from proflt-takers. May pork ranged
from Sll 90 to 81 50. and closed loc over
yesterday at 81 05; May lard from
Sc OH to SO 12h. closing 25i@5c up, and
May ribs from IS S2M95 IS to IS s7lE@

The liberal Argentine shipments and
crop conditions in that country were
the main factors in depressing wheat,
that market barely holding Its own,
though It had strong corn and provi-
sIons markets for near neighbors. The
decline at Liverpool, In the face Of the
advance here yesterday, was a disap-
poIntment to the bulls, and encouraged
selling. At one time little buying by
shorts was caused by stories Of a
somewhat better cash demand and an
improved inquiry for export -four, but
this did not last. The volume Of bus
mess was small, and the session not
active. A sale Of $4,000 bushels from
here to Hamburg was reported. The
seaboard reported twenty loads taken
for export. Primary receipts were aes,-
900 bushels, compared with 67l,0oo
bushels last year. Receipts here were
4s cars, eight OF which were contract
grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported SS4 cars, against l5S cars last
week and 60t cars a year ago. Port
clearances Of wheat and -four equRlled
10000 bushels.
Corn was firm. There was a good
crowd in the pit, and some improve
ment In the commission business. Aside
from bit OF easiness felt at the OPEN
ing, in sympathy with wheat, the mar
ket was firm throughout. The main
consideration on the buying side was
the small country offerings and the
poor weather for movement, with the
strength Of provisions a contributary
factor. Tho volume OF trade was not
large. There was considerable talk Of
feeders going wild over corn, and It
was generally reported that the de-
mnnd from this source was backed
with more tempting prices than ship.
