Assertions that the reciprocity bill would fall and that there were serious doubts about an extra ses sion of congress had much to do with an advance In the price of wheat. The market closed firm with a net gain' of Ho to Ma. Corn finished He to e down, oats off o to r and provisions at 10c to 2214s? ad vance. It was a day full of nervousness In the wheat pit. Shorts showed unmistakable signs of being easily frightened, but there, was not enough new Investment buying nr sufficient daring on the part of specu lative bulls to cause a stampede. Moderate advances brought forward Invariably a few large shorts willing to supply the wants of the small fry. Diminishing pri mary receipts formed an Important angle in favor of an upward turn. There was evidence, too, of an Increasing demand for flour. Moreover, farm reserves In the 1'nlted States were said to have fallen 12.00.W0 bushels under last year. On the other hand, world's shipments promised1 to be heavier and the fact was apparently made clear late In the day that conditions would be reassembled If reciprocity was not acted on In a manner satisfactory to President Taft. May fluctuated from 89H SiKdVfcc. to 90S.Cq!04o. with late trades He net higher at SOVa'SOc. Favorable weather and lack of export demand depressed com. May ranged be tween 47ac and 48Vtf484,c, closing steady at 48c, a net loss of '4c. Cash corn was heavy. No. 2 yellow finished at 46V,?i47c. Oats displayed reluctance to rally. May varied from 3014c to 80c and In the end was Sc easier than last night at SOW-tO'-iC. Purchases by shorts helped provisions upwards. Last sales were 10c to 22c net higher for pork, IJHc to 15o for lard and 10c to 17VbO for ribs. Prices In Chicago, furnished by the Up dike Oraln company.

Still there waa a great plenty as compared with the demand, which waa light as usual on a Friday. Some of the packers were not trying to buy cattle at all, having their necessities for the weex filled and other buyers did not appear overly anxious. It will be readily understood from this that the trade was slow and weak from start to finish. Here and there salesmen who hap pened to be fortunate in having just what the buyer wanted thought they got out about as well as yesterday, while others figured that they took off all of 10c. In fact the general market might be described as slow and weak to 10c lower. The trade on cows and heifers was about the same as described above, being any where from weak to 10c lower than yes terday, with the trade generally dull. It was. In fact, a typical Friday's market. There were very few Btockers and feeders In sight, In fact, not enough to make any Impression on the market.
