influential in the early information, though
most OF that did favor the selling side.
All the cables were lower-Liverpool and
London I'D and Paris &c. Estimates were
for large worlds shipments, and receipts
were good for season of the year. The To-
I cal market opened lsc better at 75i=c and
NTent of to 7514Q9sc, but had good buyers
at 757sc. Selling was chiefly for scattered
long account
The buying was sufficiently good TO rally
the market to 755zc, but no encouragement
came from other markets, which displayed
heaviness, or in the market gossip and
information Clearances for the day were
only $4,000 bu- in -four and wheat. So the
market gradually eased off, and May final
ly sold at 15ls414c.

May sold OF to 371kc. Receipts were very
good, though the country had let up SELL

was clear and frosty and so much better
for grading. Liverpool was I'D lower.
Shipments from Western centers were
very good and clearances very heavy, the
latter amounting 10 $4,000 bu. The market
