How Corn Fared.
Cold weather, with predictions Of gen
eral rains, were responsible for a renewal
or bull1sh sentiment in corn and there
was good buying at the start by shorts
and commission houses. Opening prices
were strong, but as the session advanced
the market became easier, due to liberal
selling by pit traders. The market closed
about where it left off last night, July be-
ing unchanged at 49Ac, after selling be-
tween 1880 and 50Ac September closed
a shade higher at 491ac, after selling be-
tween 491sc and 501sc. Despite the claims
OF small country offerings receipts con-
tinued liberal at 637 cars, with 68 of con-
tract grade
Trading in oats was characterized by
strong demand for July from shorts,
which caused a good advance in that
month, and by the strength in the De-
cember option. The poor crop prospects
We're the main influence. After selling be-
tween $3.50 and 4012c July closed B@Ac
higher at 40c. September was un-
changed at 33hc, after ranging between
81 033$sc and 1850. Local receipts were
176 cars.
There was little interest manifested in
provisions, the trading being almost at
market was an early influence, and with
the dull trade prices ruled easier through
out the day. September pork closed 10c
lower at SIG 90; September lard down
71ac at So. 80. and ribs 21zc lower at
$5.271s.
