~ over last years. Clearances, 450 900.
Cash sales were 5000. The visible supply
will show a small decrease. In spite of
the small speculative interest and bearish
statistical situation wheat maintains
very firm undertone.
Corn was strong. Shorts showed un-
easiness, but did not do much covering.
The market advanced on outside buying
OF May and commission house buying Of
July. which put the latter to 14c premium.
Offerings were light and principally in
the shape OF commission house profit TAX
ing. Country acceptances were very
small and the weather against the move
ment, with more rain predicted over sun
day. There was a fair cash demand
100000.
Oats-Shorts were nervous over the
strength ia corn. Purchases Of July oats
against May sales are becoming popular
in consequence Of large stocks which will
have TO be carried in the elevators for
the next two months
Provisions were lower and unsettled
May pork declined sharply on selling by
miscellaneous holders A Western packer

fair investment demand. The closing
was steady at a small reaction from in
side prices
The stock Of pork here has increased
moderately in the last week, while the
stocks Of lard and ribs have decreased
The trade continues well and the general
situation is still bullish.

There is a somewhat better foundation
for the boom in the Eries. There is every

was made a few days ago in Washington

cellent outlook for the common stock re-

are less of such securities in the HoauuS

reasons that appeal to such men as MI
Morgan for buying and holding stocks are
to be found by anyone, who is fanlliar
with business conditions. Railway
earnings are superb, beyond all eXpecta-

excess over imports IS so greas that the
