There was big improvement In the
cash wheat situation Today and prices on
this cereal ruled from Sc TO Sc above yes
terdays quotations. few OF the sellers
were inclined to hold out for higher prices
but. as general thing the traders got to-
gether very readily and almost all OF the
samples were taken up before the close OF
the cash session.
No. hard and No. hard wheat COW
cred a comparatively wide range. the No.
selling from 1884 to s2s9, while the No.
grade brought from $3.50 to s2.Ss.
The demand for wheat was not limited
to the better grades. and the fours and of
grade samples sold very readily on the ad-
vance.
The corn market was trine slow today,
but the demand for this cereal was moi
oYeractive. although prices were quoted
from steady TO &c higher
Sales Of white corn were very hght: but
this variety continued TO sell at fairly
wide margin over both the yellow and
mixed, No 2 white being quoted at A,64
while the yellow brought $3.50 and the
mixed from $i5SA to $780,, 49,,

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
July and December Wheat Open Two Ia
Four Cents Lower.

Chicago, May 1s-Assertions that large
quantities Of wheat on the Pacific coast had
been bought for export and would be
rushed overland to the Atlantic led today
to decided upswing In prices of future
deliveries here. The market closed strong,
64sc net higher, with July at S2.2S and
September at s2.05. Corn gained Y n2hc,
oats rs @1I4c and provisions l2Q15c to 3bc.
1t was apparent almost from the outset
that the wheat market had overcome to a
great extent the extreme pessmism dis
played during the previous days of this
week Ever since now buying OF future
deliveries had been restricted the bear side
of the trading seemed until today TO have
a virtual monopoly Of attention.
Declines, however, had been so drastic
that short sellers this morning grew more
and more cautious, especially as premiums
for cash wheat, that Is, wheat for immedi-
ate delivery, had a tendency TO harden and
there has been decrease of 100000 bushels
in stocks at Minneapolis this week, COM
pared with only 10000 bushels falling off
year ago. 1t was not before the receipt OF
news about exporters being active on the
Pacific coast, however, that the market
jumped upward In good earnest.
Scarcity of offerings became notable
| feature of the wheat market In the last
| part OF the day. Dry weather and crop
| backwardness In the northern section of the
| domestic winter belt attracted some atten-
| ton and so likewise did estimates that
| Canadian wheat acreage this season would

Gossip was current also that the seeded

Favorable weather and crop news had

| Failure of cash premiums to weaken despite

an offset. Besides, there were reports of cal

DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.

Regular business holds up remarkably wen
considering its many hindrances with retail
trade in some sections responding TO mn
proved weather and grain crop prospects
are more promising. Yet the period or
low temperature was too prolonged TO make
best results in spring distribution possible
and the accumulations of merchandise
reflect to some extent the influence OF the
extreme prices. While there is still full
employment of labor and wage advances
have continued the tendency toward
economy among consumers is spreading and
this is evident not only in foodstuffs, but
also in dry goods and footwear The les
sened buying of necessities. however, mas
not yet lowered costs perceptibly and in
many primary channels the large expendt-
lures for military supplies act as sus-
tanning factor. Pressure on most or the
leading industries has increased rather than
slackened though in some quarters ordinary
demands are held in allegiance pending more
definite knowledge as to the requirements
of tho government. With strikes OF minor
importance in certain branches and more
skilled hands needed than are aVailable'
maintenance of manufacturing outputs Is
In some cases impractcable. and operations
nearly everywhere continued Kindred by
the difficulty in moving materials ann

with such light receipts reaction might
set In here today. But buyers had different
ideas. and after n long drawn out session,
bulk Of the hogs finally sold at easier prices
The fact that markets have been so un-
even and quality being poorer today that II

prices but as a general thing traders called
the market steady TO &c lower, though on

some hogs that. while not SO high as yes.
terday's shipper purchases were steady TO a
little better than yesterdays packer trade.
Packers also bought hogs at the outset on a
steady basis, but as general thing they
were out for lower prices, and eventually

Considering the limited size Of receipts
the market was an unusually long affair, II
being late In the morning before even a de-
cont clearance was made, and even then not
everything had sold. Close was exceedingly
