POOR OUTLOOK HAS

tsefpts, together with prospects of a
much larger movement of the crop
brought about lower prices today
In the corn market Besides, great
ly improved weather conditions
gave decided emphasis to bearish
sentiment. Trading was on a
broader scale than of late, owing to
the fact that all quantity restric-
tons on dealings had been cancel
led. Opening quotations, which
ranged from &c to 15sc lower,
with January $1-41 to $1.411A, AMI
May, 1853 to SI35%, were fol-
lowed by moderate further setbacks
and then something of a rally.
Later there was persistent buy
Ing OF May on the part of commits
sion houses, and as 4 consequence
that option showed less weakness
than others. Prices closed unset
tied. &c to 1Hc net lower, with
January at 1.41K and May at
A.353s TO k35h.
Selling on the bulge more than
satisfied all demand in the provis-
,don market. Something of a reac-
ton therefore ensued.
Oats went lower with corn ex-
cept the January option. That de-
livery received good support. AT
ter opening &c off to 14c advance.
