quickly showed a gain of 3-16c. Some of the
more ambitious traders were up at clock
and wired buying orders to their Liverpool
brokers.
When our market opened the rush of buy
ing carried prices uD % to "a points from
Sa aturdays close before the scramble to buy
subsidized There was enormous profit taking
by old bulls and very heavy selling South
orders and spot dealers against balance
of old crop. This latter sent the market
off 10 TO "A points from the top. but fresh
bull support and outside buying pre-
vented any further slump of importance.

wheat was off 1ssc. Corn IS up 1a9%c Oats
and provisions are practically unchanged
Weakness prevailed in the wheat market
from start to finish. At the opening July was
off A@9sc TO 5sc at S91a9ssssc to S91sc. The
decline was due to a variety of circumstances.
One of the factors that influenced trading
ly in the session was the decisive defeat of the
Russian fleet the Inference being that peace
would probably follow soon With peace de-
clared. grain markets in America would lose
an element of strength that for more than a
year has helped to hold prices at high level
cline at Minneapolis. following continued liberal
receipts at that point In addition, weather
conditions in the United States were considered
more favorable to the growing plant. There
no great volume of offerings, but selling
by pit traders was persistent throughout the
entire session. Liquidation by small longs in
advance of the holiday tomorrow was one of
the features of the day. While some crop dam
age news was received messages from the
Southwest to-day told in general an entirely
different story about the whole crop than was
in circulation last week. Fields which were
said to have given no promise short time back
were to-day reported as showing great i'm
provement One message from Kansas City
declared that traders who were predicting half
crop ten days ago admitted now that there
has been an improvement equal to 20 per cent.
Kansas, Il was claimed would raise between
$1,000. 600 ard 90. 000 600 bushels IL predictions
of some well posted grain men in that section
were realized. Late in the session the market
became decidedly weak July defining to ssA
est point of the day July finished at $3.50
ss1sc.
considering the weakness OF Wneat, the corn
market was remarkably strong. The strength
was largely the result of persistent demand
from several prominent commission houses for

July pork was off 21ac. lard was off a shade
