there was a continued good spot de-

the stock market was accompanied by
a considerable Wall street demand
around the local ring, while there was
also a good deal of support attributed
to local trade interests and New Or

movement from rural sources. After
opening a shade lower " to u higher,
the market scored a general gain to
about 1 cent above Saturdays night

Pit traders were the only sellers OF
oats. Firmness of other grain had
decided bullish effect on other dealers.
and gave the market a decided lift.
Higher prices for hogs tended to
steady provisions. Demand. however.
was inactive.
Absence of any fresh encouragement
