 Tine feature of trade in the wIea' w,es pit was the congestion or MAy ustS r cry which resulted at times n tha grest- CT part of the day. however. SsntiinSms sen, s,,d in fine pit was decidedly bulllsh ana at the close prices were almost @e so highest point. n,smsst ContinHef formed the basis of much of the strength: aitnoush the light movement was partl6hy on set by a decline in the price or Wneat at Liverpool n,,Il,ss Arr,ysis were ,9@a oniy IA cars against 341 cars the corresponu- ing day a year ago. A leaolng com c mission, house, which has a weaIthy local and out-of-town clientage. was reported to have purchased more than 100000 bushels of the May dellvery during the day, and this buying ca1s- ed an advance of exactly l cent Ior that option from the low point of the session. Other deliveries showed less strength. At the close, May sold at 1O7 3-4 to IO7 3S and July at 9S 1-S to 98I-4. Clearances of wheat and nour mary receipts were 2s7,0OO bushels compared with 614.0OO bushels the cor responding day year ago. Minneap- oils, Duluth ana CnicaBO fepOfleV Ee~ ceipts of 147 cars
 An official forecast for wet weather for the corn belt had a strengthening effect on the corn market but the vol. tune of trading was light afker the first hour The Weather Bureau predicts showers tonight or Thursday for Illi- nois, IDdiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Iowa. Local receipts were more ~than had been estimated, being reported at 370 cars with six of contract grade. The market closed firm with May at e1 7-s and July at 62 1-S.
 - Oats were firm on good demand by leading elevator interest. The great est interest seemed to center around the distant deliveries and these esti- mates were relatively stronger than the futures. Offerings in the pit were limited during the greater part of the day. The market closed firm with May at 61 3-4 to 517 and July at 561-4 to 26 3-S. Local receipts were 105 cars.
 Heavy purchases of pork by traders who usually operate in the grain pits imparted considerable strength to the provisions market, following another weak opening due to liberal receipts of live hogs. The close was firm with prices up 2 1-2c. to Sc. compared with the previous close. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat cars, corn 2S5 cars. oats 1o2 cars. hogs 3S,o0O head.

There is no doubt entertained of the entire success of this loan, but there Is . good deal of uncertainty as to what wiil follow in the money ana and the New. York market there are no long s~aited and which the specula7 tive element would like to see more light upon before proceeding further.
 Today the New, York Central direc- tors adjourned once more, with the ters had been considered. This puts on again the supposed entry of E. H. Harriman and associates into the di- rectorate. which has said to be immt' Iappointment also over the n6n-actton Of the New York public service com mission on the Erie application for an Issue of t30,00 bonds.
 There was a reversal of sentiment the Intsrboronxh Mesropoiitsn to his stockholders regarding the probable purchase of Metropolitan Street Rail- way and the contribution of funds Tor that purpose was presented as a prfvi. lege rather than as an assessment. A decline in Amalgamated Copper was response to the reports of unfevorabie conditions in the copper trade. Ex- cept in special cases the days changes proved insignihcant.
