CORN PRICES TIGHTEN.

CHICAGO, May 27-Prices frightened
materially to-day in the corn market
owing for the most part to meagerness
OF supply. The close was firm at y to
&c. net higher. with July $1.6615 to
s166% and September SISSY to
$1.5s1. Oats gained y to 1hc. and
provisions IS TO SOC.
Strength characterized the corn mar
ket throughout the session and there
was a specially urgent call for May de-
livery. Upturns OF the May price. which
touched the highest price for the pres
ent crop, had an evident direct bullish
influence on the later months although
shorts were trying their utmost TO get
corn in time to apply on May contracts
Most OF the offerings to arrive proved
to be too late to help the May shorts
and that fact tended to frlghten shorts
in other months as the rapidity with
which the visible supply was disappear
ing continued to hold attention and in
timidate would-be sellers.
Reports that greenbugs were attack
ing the fields in some parts of Missouri
gave independent strength to the oats
market.
Provisions advanced sharply as a re-
suit of packers buying July lard and
ribs. At first weakness In the hog trade
operated as big weight on values.
