quickly today from an early decline
Heaviness at the start appeared to be
due to predictions of large Argentine
from India. Reports of improved flour
business at Minneapolis, however, tend
ed to bring about a reaction and SO
also did fear of crop damage in the
eastern part of the domestic winter
belt. After opening unchanged to is
cents lower, prices mounted to well
above last nights level

was erratic, being depressed early by
easier cables, local selling and scat
tered commission house realizing. Re-
ports Of damage from the southwest
by insects and continued lack Of mois-
ture over the eastern part of the belt
brought a sharp rally. Another break
resulted from unautnentic rumors OF
a change in the political situation
abroad and on this decline commission
houses absorbed the offerings on rest
ing orders. There were reports Of lib
eral export business from the seaboard,

Corn-An early rally in corn on
which local traders were disposed to be
bullish. was followed by a sharp set
back when wheat turned easy, and To-
cal holders attempted to realize. There
was a good class of buying on the de-

selling of July by cash interests were
the principal features IN to1ay's mar

and July were selling at the same
prices. The prospects Of heavy deliv-
cries on May contracts have depress-

lack Of moisture is attracting attention
to the deferred deliveries. Cash oats
were in good demand, standards SELL
ing in the spot market l cent over and
No. white II over May, the best
premiums on the crop. Clearances were
again large.
Provisions-Buying If ribs by one OF
the larger packers was the principal
feature in a Arm and higher provision
market There was also fairly good
demand for pork from scattered inves-
tors and shorts. Lard was dull and
easy. under selling by packers. Further
Improvement in the cash demand for
meats was reported and this, with a
sharp advance in hog prices more than
| offset the pressure of May liquidation.
