CORN STRONG AND HIGHER
GOOD DEMAND, LIGHT OFFERINGS
AND CABLES CAUSE a GAIN.
Wheat Is Dull and Easy, and Oats
Break Badly-PrOvfsions Hold
Steady, with Small Changes.

CHICAGO. April 25.-Trading in grain
and provisions was rather dull to-day and
an easier tone prevailed In wheat. May
closing sc lower and July sc lower. May
corn closed 2sq11c higher, with July un-
changed. and May oats were a shade lower.
with July down Bc. Provisions closed
steady, unchanged to 2lsc lower.
There was little of conspicuous character
in the trading in wheat and the market, on
the whole, was dull. Opening prices We're
easier. due to the lower cables. and May
was unchanged to &c lower at Hssc TO
774c, but July was a shade to lsc higher
at 7212Q72Ssc. The strength in corn had
a somewhat bullish effect early, and May
sold up to 777sc and July to 72S.c, but the
improved feeling was only momentary, for
with selling by pit traders and brokers,
the market gradually declined. Late in
the day a severe break occurred on scat
tered liquidation in the nearby months and
May slumped to 76Ac. while July sold off
to 721sQ72Ac. Active support was lacking,
and weakness continued till the close.
which showed loss on May of ssc. at 77lsc.
July closed aQAc lower at 72kg727sc.

Of contract grade, made a total OF l94 cars,
against $50 last week and 1s6 a year ago.
A good commission house demand for
both May and July corn was responsible
for the strength manifested in that pit,
and with little on the market at any time
the firmness was well maintained. Higher
cables had a strengthening influence at
the opening, and with a good cash demand
and small receipts, local shorts were
alarmed at the prospects and covered free-
ly. The weakness in wheat had little effect
on corn, and closing prices were firm. May

changed at 451xc. Receipts were 10 cars.

Oats started strong, helped by the bulllsh
tendency in corn and on small receipts,
but at the higher figures influential selling
by commission houses caused reaction
and the market broke badly, July declin-

Of the session and July closed lse lower at

ceipts were log cars.
There was considerable realizing In pro-
visions by local longs, but offerings were
well taken by brokers and prices held

The Financier says: zone feature of the
ciated Banks last week was a decrease of
sass, ,200 instead Of a gain in loans. The
latter had been looked for as the result of
more liberal offerings Of money by the chief
lending institutions during the week. This
loss, however, may have been a reflection
of the previous weeks business, when there
was large liquidation of speculative ac-
counts on the Stock Exchange, while, con-
trary to expectations, the official statement
Of the banks for that week showed an i'm
$5056, 100 In cash. of which s., ,302 800 consisted
Of specie. This gain was smaller by $625. 800
than that estimated from the traceabie
numbers Of money during the week. The
discrepancy may be accounted for In great
part, however, by the average system of
the banks. The average gain for the fort
night. as shown by the official statements,
mates for this period was IS. 7l5. 200. Depos-
its increased $3l3, 100, which Is only little
below the difference between the gain in
cash and the loss in loans. Therefore, the
statement was harmonious. The required
reserve was increased sSS,275, which sum,
S4,977, ,SS as the increase In surplus reserves.
This item Is now sl0,9S5475. Calculated on
the basis Of deposits, less those of s37, ,2S3 200
of the government, the surplus reserve is
$50, ,3Os, ,N5. Circulation showed the small in
crease of $4,000, but even this light gain
is noteworthy for this period of the year,
when, usually, there is large reduction Of
the banks last week were $21s. .000, 900, against
$242, 100000 in the previous week. This re-
duction was due to the fact that the Stock
Exchange was closed on Wednesday,"

OF the day concessions of from SC TO 1oc had to
be made. At one time IN the week values were
on little higher level than at the close OF last

than at that time. The lowest day in the week
was Thursday. but since that there has been a
slight rally in the market and prices al the
extreme close OF the week are in practically the
same position that they were at the close OF last
week There has been rather scarcity OF
prime hogs in their class all week. Consequently
they have been favored 10 a greater OF less ex-
tent, and there Is a continued rather wide spread
In prices. IL any different the best light hogs
this week have shown little more strength
than other grades. The receipts to-day were
little less than twice large a week ago,
but not quite as large a year ago. When the
market opened the supply In the yards was quite
small and, with few urgent shipping orders,
there rather active competition, and the
prices than yesterday, the advance generally be-
ing considered at least 5dl0c. II did not take
