Tho corn market was nctlvu anl strong ttxlay. Helped by tho heavy export demand and light offerings tho price soured to tho record for this seu kon. May closing c. over .Saturday. The strength of corn turned the mile In favor of higher prices In tho whent pit, which otherwise wns allllcted with stutlstlcs of two norts. May closing higher. Pro visions clewed M;7c to 10c Improved mid iiuy oats UiiVic up. Tho market for corn begun the session with a spurt of activity and strength, which was not rediu ed throughout tho day. Tho reduction In the Liverpool stocks was about tho only Hem In the statistical array which excited conriderutlon. Otherwise, tho buying was prompted by tho heavy ex port demand and the, light country accept unros. Shipping sate tor the day were put nt TfjO.fM) bu . nil but U,(0i bu. of which wis nold for dliect export Tho visible, sup ply Increased 447,(H) bu., but that makes only 21,652,000 bu. In comparison with :, 737.UO0 bu. u year ago. 1'rlmary receipts werei SW.U") bu., against KW.OuU bu. a year ago. Kccclpts here wert 302 cars. Atlantic jiort clenninceH were 705.000 bu. Shorts cov red freely throughout the day. May opened ic over Saturday nt SMk'nCOc and udviineed to .'WMiC. top prlco this season, closing 9ie over Saturda at MVjflS'ic1. Wheat sthould have declined according to ithi! views of tint exijrt on 'change, but It did not. The demand for oxiMirt kept mod estly In tho background ami both the vis ible and the amount on passage Increased. Liverpool was merely steady and domestic rcDortH wero favorable to tho well being of tho cron. On the other hand tho bulls tmnked on the reports of cold weather in various parts of Europe, the reduction In shipments from Russia lust week, the story of injiltles to wheat In slack In Argentina liy tho heavy rains and the olllclal India crop report showing low percentages for the. different Import. int grain provinces. Tho strength of corn naturally reinforced tho bull position and so the market went tip. There was a good commission house lemand, tho reason for which was some thing of n mystery and Hhorts were mado uncomfortable by tho course of the market, fj'lm seabourd was relatively strong tho northwest relatively weak. New York re ported tho day's export business ut ten loads. Clearances In wheat and Hour were nun! to KJO.fr') bu. Primary receipts wero 75.1, 000 bu., compared wltli 892,000 bu. Inst year. Mlnneaoll.i and Uulutih reported WJ cars, against "111 last week and S61 a year iigo. ocal receipts were GO ears, 2 of con tract grudo. May njiened ii? up at G75f tT.te and advanced early to G73;c. From that point the hears forced the price down to 6'iTic. Tho India crop report came towards tho end and was Influential in tho reaction which had al ready begun, nnd May rallied to fji'ifi071.!O. The bulge met prollt-taklng und May re ncted to 67',fcc, closing "iftViO higher at 67', Tho provisions market was strong nnd netlvn, in spite of liberal prollt-taklng. The ptrength of corn, buying of hogs u well as product by an lntluenttnl packer and also buying by sold-out bulls, wero Influences to which tho strength was attributed. Ono llrm took In 15,0"0 tierces of lard at prac tically ono price. The cash demand was rood. May pork ranged from $12.60 to 12.S2'4 and chksed ISe over Saturday at 512.76: May lard from $C.42j,,iitj.45 to $ii.60, closing 10c Improved at $fl.47Vs, and May ribn from $0.574 to $&67, with the close V'jC up at W.fi2r4'S f-". Oats wero llrm. helped unquestionably by rorn. Offerings wero small, although tho nupply In tho west Is believed to bo large, spring work Is lniiendlng, but tho country loads nro rejmrted In a bad condition. Re ceipts hero wero 224 cars.

The Inlluetice of Snturdny's favorable bank statement was still felt nud the room trnd ers were Inclined to the bull side. There was a large absorption of the leading Iron and steel stocks, whl. h was attributed to I the operation of a pool, and the buying of I Peoplo's Clns Is mild to hi' In luded In the ; same plan.

Chicago reported a large run for today with the tendency of tho market 11 little lower. Under the clr- cumsiances very little change was to be expected In tbe mnrket nt this point. 1'here seemed to be a pretty good demand for beef steers, iiltliioicfi l-.iiv..,u u-nn. i.w.lr- lug for a big run for Tuesday and a lower market. As a rule thev paid about last week's prices for the Hirelings, the market being quoted steady In most cases, on the other hand there were Instances where 1 salesmen who happened to have pretty de- I slrable stuff thought they got strong prlco-i. At the same time tliere were s une sales, which sellers thought worn n llitl,. ir.n-..r 1 even than last week. Ono thing Is certain and that is that the market Is not far from where It was 11 week ago. As there wero so few cattle on sale the pens were soon cleared. Only about fifteen loads of cows and heifers were on sale, while the demand was good and the offerings weie soon ills posed of. The prices paid did not show any material change as compared with the latter part of last week. Hoteliers' stock of all kinds sold in Just about the same notches as last week. There were very few stockers and feed ers. und there was. In consequence, but little doing In that kind of cattle. There seemft to be some little demand for thin cattle, which are bringing good firm prices. Representative sales: HEEF STEERS. No. 1..., 4... 1... S..., 1... 3.... 1... 2... 3... 21 . . . 17... Av.
