made another upturn this morning, fol-
lowing yesterdays advance, and May
sold to 712s@7113c. This was in the early
trading. The little bull turn was short
lived, and after a bit the market fell
back. At noon. on sharp decline, May
sold down to 7O12c.
Higher cables considerable of a squeeze
in corn, further opening prices in coarse
grain, and the feeling that something Of
an advance was about due, were the in
centiVeS for the early strength. There
was the further help of light receipts in
the Northwest and very small showing
for primary receipts. Liverpool was up
1ad at the close for both May and July,
and sd up on May and July corn. Broom
hall cabled, in explanation of this, that
the unfavorable reports from America,
particularly the sensational statement OF
the secretary of the Grain Growers as
ISOLATION, respecting Kansas, caused
shorts in Liverpool to cover The Price
Current says the week so far has been
very favorable for crops; that wheat is
averaging fairly good, and that the
promise is developing fully equal to and
even exceeding previous expectations.
Oats seeding is in progress, and the pre-
liminary work is starting well.
Receipts at primary points were very
light. showing only 600 Blu, against 49,
000 bu last year, and shipments $4,000
blu, against 100000 bu. Wheat and flour
clearances amounted to 1880 blu. Re-
ceipts here were 10 cars, against ri
last year, and at Duluth 66 cars, against
81 cars.

7G7sc, and September, 70Ac Chicago May

Cash wheat was in good sale, and be-
sides cleaning up the tables of the good
milling lots. miIlers drew to some extent
on terminals. A little No. l hard was
