Oat Trade Bsarish.
Surroundings Of the oat market are
not regarded as favorable to purchases
on any advance. In fact. a majority Of
the traders are inclined to favor sales.
and are looking for decline to below
40c for May. Available stocks are al
most 100000 blu, against 100000
bu last year. Canadian oats are on a
parity with tho eastern markets. which
makes the demand here slow. Farmers
are not selling freely, but the movement
Is equal to consumptive requirements.
and there is no new speculative trade
coming into the market. Receipts here
last week were 1,935,000 bu. against g.
$4,000 blu a year ago. Shipments were
$4,000, bu against 2,145,oO0 bu a year
ago.

required considerable buying at times
to prevent the market from declining.

decidedly larger. The worlds supply Of
lard increased 39.49s ties last month,
one Of the largest accumulations for
the same period in recent years. Last
year 1t gained 8,S12 ties. The total sup
ply is 1,914 ties, compared with 1884,
256 ties year ago. Supplies Of meats
at Western packing centers are under
stood to be much larger than last year.
Hogs averaged higher and receipts at
