Corn gained mfrlVic to 2V, oats finished a shade up and provisions unchanged to 1)c lower Previous to the receipt of tha crop report from Washington tha wheat mar ket showed a general tendency toward a higher level of prices. Declines of le or mora from top prices cf the dav took place In tha wheat mar ket after the government crop report wa made public. Part of tha bearish reaction, however, was doubtless du to an apparent falling off In export demand. t'ongest on at eastern terminals was said to be growing more acute, and there was a renewal of talk a to the difficulties of obtaining vrsrvlg to give an adequate outlet serosa the Atlantic. Y'redlctiona of unsettled weather wera chiefly responsible for strength in the corn market. Besides, the trade was worr'ed bv the wmallness of receipts. Oats did not respond to the advances shown by corn. Weakness In the hog market was re flected bv provisions. Packers were the chief seller. Considerable notice was taken of the fact that hog slaughtering; throughout the west was on a scale nearly double that of a year ago. rtilenL-o Cash Price Wheat: No. t red. l1.2IV4fi1.22U: No. $ red. $1.1.V1.16; No. I bard, $1 17; No. 3 hard, $1.W431 I0H.
