Within the first half hour 1 ing on the break. however was equally as good as the previous selling. Commission houses had plenty of orders to purchase July and it started upward again: May followed in | sympathy. News from the Northwest con tlnued of Q bullish nature and the demand for cash wheat here and at the seaboard was much was considerable selling of both May and July by the leading bull operator. As a result many local traders took the selling side. An easier tone developed lasting until the close, May leaving of at e5%Ges% and July un- changed at S7& after reaching S9x. Clear ances equaled 232, 800 bushels. Primary re- ceipts. 432. 100. Exports of wheat and flour for the week. according to Bradstreets. were | equal to l.74e, GOO. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported 24i cars. against 2S7 week ago.
 Weakness was in evidence in corn during the early part of the session: There was heavy selling by the large bull interest and there was also considerable commission house sell ing. Larger receipts than expected and easier | cables were the influences that brought out the selling for short account. The demand came mainly from shorts but after the first hour the buying became more general and the market gradually advanced. Late in the day there was liquidation by holders who did not care to carry lines over the holiday and this selling caused some reaction. The close. how ever. was firm. May opened a shade to 40 ssc lower at 53h@S3%. sold of to 52N ad- vaneed to 54H and closed 63HaS4 July closed A@sc higher at 52%@62H. Receipts. 23a cars, one contract.
 The feature in oats trading was the selling credited to the leading long. The market was influenced to a large extent by tho corn ac- ton prices showing a moderate loss during the first hour. Buying increased demand from shorts and commission houses turned the mar ket upward and all the early loss was re- gained. May closed strong. Sc higher at 4s, was up $ at 39N. Receipts. l7l cars.
 Provisions early broke. The decline was re- gained later, however. on commission house demand. Packers were credited with selling ribs. but the offerings were all absorbed. The close was steady with May pork 7isc higher at SI4s2h; May lard 24c higher at S7.72M and ribs 2Ita5c lower at $7.I2h
