GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, April 1.-Grain prices
showed steadihess today apparently
awaiting military developments in Pr
cardi. Corn started trifle easier, in
fluenced by favorable weather but soon
rallied as a result of scattered purchas-
ing. Opening prices, which exhibited
Nc decline with May $1.25z were fol-
lowed by rally to above. Saturdays
closing figures.
Auspicious field conditions had only
a transient bearish effect on oats. On
the downturn. shorts became active
buyers and gave prices material lift.
After opening UNCHANGED to A@xc OF
with May SAX to ssh, the market
scored moderate gains.
Provisions weakened owing to fall
ing of in shipments. Besides hog az
rivals here for March were shown to
have been the most plentiful ever
known for this time Of year.
Later the market turned weak owing
to the large proportion Of inferior
grades coming forward. A decided in
crease Of the visible supply total count
ed also as a bearish factor. Prices
closed unsettled &c net lower with May

HUNT GEESE At NIGHT
Hugh Kennedy of New Westmin-

and the writer were invited as club
guests. Kennedy was not only indus
triously but necessarily springing
some practical joke and admit he
was fairly successful in his efforts.
Hugh was a big, good-natured beef
eater who tipped the beam at 26o
pounds. Many were the traps laid for
him around the club house, but he
was the wise little guy and got from

phere that he was threatened, but did
not suspicion that it was framed.

on night flight of geese.
As we headed for the swamps it
did not look good to me. A bank OF
clouds lay in the west and hunters
