loads -and then quit. ,It took quite a while
for the packer buyen to get Into actio, but
advU-ea from all other polnta were bullish,
and It whb .lust a case of how large the ad
vance would be.
rirat packer often were about like yes
terday's close, or a little stronger thnn yes
terdny'a average, but sellers who wore out
for at leattt 10o higher prloea hung ou, and
in the end came near to getting them, bulk
of the hogs finally selling fully 6ft lOo above

today, but tho situation generally was
Hlrongcr and substantial price gains were

a few scattering trade were made In the

In Winnipeg was taken as evidence that
any big shipments of good Canadian wheat
to i nicago soon .were out uf the question.
Scarcity of contract wheat for Immediate
delivery In Chicago was emphasised by the
payment ot $3.14 a bushel, thr topmost price
on record. May options also 'reached the
hlgheat point ever known, $2.80, and at the
end of the day were still holding that figure.
The top notch was attained on the purchase
of 600,000 bushels of May for a house Iden

Corn rose with wheat. Sellen were diffi

wheat touched a pew record high level. No.

but were under pressure of abundant offer.
