er gains.
The government report showing So

Chicago, April S.-Corn-May de-
livery ruled firm and closed at the
, top. within fraction of the high poin,
on the crop. The principal factors in
fuencing the advance were relatively
light receipts, a heavy decrease in the
visible supply and the knowledge that
trading in corn for July delivery, with
number 4 as the contract grade, will
commence Thursday, April II. The
most hopeful phase of the latter situa-
ton is that a fair percentage Of fresh
shelled corn in today tested from IA to
10 per cent and graded from No. to
sample grade, depending more on the
amount of damage than moisture.
Oats-Covering by shorts and buy
ing by commission houses gave oats a
strong tone thruout the session. The
final bulge came right at the close
when there were intimations Of con-
siderable cash business having been
worked While there was no direct evil
dence of seaboard bids, exporters let
it be known they were not averse to
offers. This probably led to SELL
ing by traders who were forced to cover
later. Crop conditions continue excel
lent.
Provisions-Large receipts OF hogs
and consequent decline at the
yards" caused lower prices for pro-
duct, but the list rallied with grains
and on buying credited to packers.
