Tse. TO sc. and oats 1sc. TO &c. In
provisions there was a setback ranging
from 7iac. to &c.
At first scattered selling met with
little demand from buyers and led to a

contending that q considerable improve

sary to bring about any decided ad-
vance. No sales for export. however,

At this juncture buying OF wheat for
future delivery developed, which came
to liberal extent from interests that
generally operate on foreign account.
Besides gossip was current that Ger
many had acquireda good deal of Argen-
tine grain which was on ocean passage
and which previously was without suffi-
cient financial backing. Gains were
fairly we'll maintained at the last despite
talk that the supposed foreign buying
OF future deliveries had been really for
a Chicago trader who was trying to
keep out of view.
Scantiness of receipts together with
persistent commission house buying gave
some independent strength to the corn
market. Oats were governed by the
action OF corn.
Lower quotations on hogs had a de-
pressing effect as to provision values.
