with March 1.53 to 1881 and May
1.43A to 1.44k. were followed by a
material further, setback.
Corn declined with wheat. After
opening unchanged to y lower. in
Guiding May at 65h to 65as the mar
ket sagged all around.
Oats were steadied by scantiness OF
receipts, starting unchanged to Ma Is

slight gains.
Commission house selling on stop
loss orders weakened provisions.
Subsequently, the wheat market be-
came much more active and took a.
big upward swing<as result of de-
mand from millers, green bug reports
from Texas and inquiry from ex-
porters who were said to be short
and unable 20 obtain wheat in the
southwest. The close was strong. Z

to 1862 and May 1874 to 1881.
