vance, with May 145 Ia to 145 IA
and July 1874 1-2 to 135, were followed
by a material general setback after
a transient upturn.
Oats gave way under moderately
increased country offerings. After
opening 3-S lower to IA gain, witt.
May 81 IA to 81 1-2, the market
hardened a little and then suffered
sharp decline.
Firmness in the hog market
strengthened provisions. Indications
were for a lessened number of hog
arrivals next week.
