Forelgn buying orders for wheat were in the market at the beginning, while domestic buying orders were more nu- damage became the leading influence, and many of these orders came from people in the country who had previously claimed there was no material damage. short sellers anxious. May wheat opened %@%c higher at from 72%@i3c, with principal sales at_72%c, and advanced before noon to T3%c. The market had a_waiting spell In the mid- dle of the session, during which May reacted from T3%c to no time heavy and a fresh buying wave started it up again. Before the close May reached T4%@T4ec and closed with sellers at 74%e. | | July rose from 72%c to as the session ended at 4%c, and was wanted ARG TINC. Light receipts, large clearances and high cables strengthened corn. The advance in wheat also had considerable influence in stimu- lating speculative purchases. Eastern demand for cash corn was good In consequence of the reduced rail freights. May corn closed 3@%c higher. The ‘demand for May optlons from shippers who bought against cash sales was the matn cause of the improvement in oats. Favorable weather and reports of seeding acted as a drag to the July and September deliveries. May oats closed %@lsc higher. Continued liquidation of May contracts weak- ened May provisions early. The bullishness of wheat, however, caused some buying toward the end and the'loss was more than recovered.

The stock of 1898 raisins left in California 15 reported to be comparatively small, and at the current rate of consumption holders expect that it will go out clean before the new crop will be ready for market. In the East trade of late has been fairly active, the demand ooming chiefly from seeders, being stimulated, it is generally reported, quite as much by strong reports from the coast as by the fact that for the next few weeks the consuming demand for SPRLTEEFirmer, with #5_bid, &nd 3.6 | asked. > These matters made | 4¢, but the offerings were at | | .

HAY AND FEEDSTUFFS. Recelpts of Hay were normal yesterday, though there was still old stock to be worked off, and this prevented an improvement, though thére was less demoralization. The depression in outside Hay is shown by the inability of the consignee to sell a Jot of 100 tons of Timo- thy which arrived a few days ago. It still lies on the wharf and the consignee will be lucky if he gets back the freight on it. Bran and Middlings are quoted rather steadier at unchanged prices. BRAN-—$15@16 50 per ton.
