WHEAT—A few rains were report ed through the southwest, but wens hardly sufficient to overcome the light spring wheat receipts in the northwest so that with offerings light and com mission houses buying, tile crowd fol lowed and bid the futures up, May ad vancing the most, at one time display ing tightness. There was practically no wheat pressing on the market. Liverpool and Berlin were quite strong and a number of local shorts covered, but with dullness developing the pit crowd sold and wero responsible for the late weakness. Foreign markets will all be closed after tomorrow un til the following Tuesday, consequent ly operations will partake largely a holiday character that should allow of good turns being made in a scalping way. CORN—There was some selling by commission houses and local operators early and everybody was fixed for a good sized break, but country offerings dried up and this started shorts to covering with the clpsing strong. Wo feel friendly to this cereal on all dips. OA"£S—There was some selling on country advices of larger shipments this way, but offerings were well taken and there was good buying of tho September kind, especially by the Pat ten house. At the close the under tone was quite firm. PROVISIONS—Large receipts of hogs through the west with the ship ping demand very poor, brought about selling by the packers and tljere was May liquidation. Shorts covered quite freely, and there was liberal buying of pork on resting orders for outsid-j account but the situation is still bear ish, the undertone is heavy and lower prices are indicated.
