III day. M,Ys npeaed K0Ac higher It
7644k toS765tc. mainly under pressure
from shorts. whose ara were aroused
by the steadiness Of Liverpool cables,
by cold weather and the small total
of northwest receipts. Long wheat,
mostly from scalpers, came out in
sympathy with the easiness in corn
and May reacted to 76Ac on a dull
market. On q rumor Of q clash in
CHINA, the market quickly rallied to
76%c and reacted to 76hc. Shorts
found the market bare of offerings
and when they tried to get out prices
were again bid up sharply to &c.
Longs hit the market on this bulge
and sent May back to 76Hc, where it
steadied on light primary receipts
and improved export demand for both
flour and wheat. a drop OF 10 points in
the condition of Kentucky wheat and
a Texas report that the crop had been
almost completely destroyed by raw
ages Of fly. A drop in consols during
the afternoon caused further appre-
nension and the market became ag-
gressively bullish, May advancing to
THO. Profit taking caused a small
recession but the close was strong,
A@Bc higher at 76%@77c. Export
ers reported fifteen loads taken. Sea-
board clearances in wheat and flour
were equal to 27S, 00v bushels, while
primary receipts. reached a total of
5S5, 600 bushels compared with CSC, 600
bushels last year. Minneapolis anu
Duluth reported 27S cars against 327
Iast week and 554 a year ago. Local
receipts were 81 cars, none of con-
tract grade.
Corn responded feebly to the spirit
of the wheat market at the opening.
The weather was regarded as bearish
and as receipts continued to show inn
provement In grade and there were
indications of a freer movement from
the country in the near future, the
market eased off during the forenoon,
some stop-loss orders coming out.
Aggressiveness bullishness of the
wheat market later alarmed a sufi-
cient number of shorts to cause a re-
covery, but not to the best price Of
the day. 4aay sold between 41bc and
AN @41%c and closed unchanged
at 41Ac. Receipts were 252 cars, 81
of contract grade. New York report
ed 30 loads taken for export, but none
was reported here. Oats were dull
and governed by corn. May sold be-
tween 25b @25Ac and Csc and closed
a shade higher at 25Ac. Receipts
were 164 cars.
Small receipts OF hogs and higher
prices for them gave a bullish tone to
the provisions market, where a fur
tner rise occurred with the correct es-
innate of a number of high price rec
ord for the session. Pork, which was
far and away the feature of the day,
was wanted, but there was scarcely
any on the market save when shorts
raised their bids to a marked degree,
May pork opened at $3.50 to $685.,
and advanced early to $500. Even
at this price offerings were far from
liberal and the demand from shorts
was SC urgent that only small recess
sions occurred during the remainder
of the session leaving the close 62kc
over yesterday at $3.50. A good cash
demand contributed to the advance in
futures. Lard and ribs were more
quiet, but firm. May lard sold be-
tween s7.S2k @7.S5@7.S7k, closing sc
higher at $7.s5@7.s71k, and May ribs
between s7.67h @7.7214, with the close
7kc improved at $40.

Wheat, IS cars; corn, loJ cars; oats,
1856 cars; hogs, 10000 head.
