Th estimate waa from a leading expert her and wa accompanied by a rnirmts on hi part that the government computation of the 1916 yield had been 3,000,000 bushels 100 high. Asld from the figure en th exportable sili-plus, however, the markt had an upward tendency owing to prospect that American vessels soon would resum Bailing asd that shipments to Kurep In consequence would be much 1ncrad. Improvement in railway traffic facilities t Gulf of Mexico port counted also ts some xlnt In favor of higher prices. Snow fall In th southwest retarded mors or lees th ad vanes sf new-crop deliveries of wheat. Besides, on account ot th week end profit taking, ther was a moderate reaction all around from lop price aa the day approached finish, Nevertheless the buying power tn the market stned to show no curtailment and ther war hat few trader sufficiently venturesome to put out new abort line. Corn established a new high price record. Th reasons were that th bog market etlll wa aoaring, and that th latest reckon ings put the domestic farm reserves of corn at the iewast aggregate stnos 1$9S. Oat responded in lively fashion to the strength of other grain. Trade waa much larger than recently has been ths ca, and It wa id rural sffertags also had In creased. urgent export demand for lard waa a factor In hoisting the entire provision market to unprecedented level. Other ausee were the con tin us ace of the hog shorts ge and of the remarkable accompany ing advance ot th value ot corn.
