r A n pRovIAoNs.

Chicago; April l2.-New upturns
took place today In the price of corn.
The bulges were ascribed largely to
.scantiness of receipts and to the
prospect that demopalized traffic
conditions would for the present at
lsast, prevent any accumulation of
stocks May delivery Yves especially
difficult to buy, and the bulk OF bust
ness went into the July option. In-
itiai prices, which ranged from 53-8
to | SIS, higher, with May 1863 ia
to 1853 and July. 1.61 ia to 1.61 ga.
were followed. by material gains all
around. : :.
Oats like corn, were active and
higher. After opening 1-S to 1 3-s
up, including July at 81 to 81 1-2,
the market continued strong, but at a
slight reaction from the opening top
figures. 80 e
Provisions. reflected the grain ad-
vance. Demand, however, was rather
slow. 4
Later a temporary sharp setback
resulted from commission house SELL
ing. based to a considerable extent on
opinions that the backbone Of the
railway strike had been broken. The
close was nervous at the,same as Sat-
urday's finish to l 1-8/ cents lower,
with May $1.s7 to Leg Is and July
$3.50 3-4 to l.6o.
