Manipulation by pfominent operators caused a marked advance in both cereals. May cor showed a final advance of 1l%c, while oat Were up 1,@%c. Wheat prices were affected largely by the strength in coarse grains, May wheat closing %@lc higher. Provisions also were strong, the May products closing 17%c to 45¢ higher. | A remarkably broad market in corn devel- | oped almost at the very opening. The keynote apparently was sounded when the representa- tive of the interest that is sup) sed to be long on May wheat began to buy May corn. commission houses were also liberal buyers. The advance resulting in prices for corn was not lacking in celerity. It was estimated that during the buying furor upward of 2,000,000 bushels of May corn were taken by one house popularly credited with being the largest hold- ers of wheat for May delivery. May openmed ! %e to %c higher at 50%@51c, and after selling at_BU% @i0%c the price steadily advanced. The advance demand continued the entire 2esslon and the close found May 13c higher at aC. A new record mark was scored for the May delivery of oats; the price to-day reached 451 | @45%c. Trading continued in a large scale the entire session. The close was strong, with May la@%c higher at 447 @45c. ‘Trading in wheat was moderate in volume. A decidedly strong tone was manifested. Ear- ly factors in contributing to the advance were | strong English markets, reports of damage by unfavorable weather in the Southwest and the apparent congestion in the market for coarse grain. May wheat opened unchanged to ¥c higher at 90%c to 91)c. On an active demand from shorts the price quickly rose to 91%c. The advancing tendency, however, was soon checked on selling by commission houses, who were supposed to be acting under instructions of the leading long. The market gradually re- ceded under this selling pressure until the end of the first hour, when May was again quoted at 91%c. The market dragged for a time, owing to the absence of many traders who had found more alluring attractions in corn and ocats. A large decrease In the world's avail- able stocks brought about an active commis- | sion house demand later in the day and prices | started upward, aided by the strength in other | grains. On this spurt May advanced to 92, | but realizing sales caused a slight reaction. | The close was strong, however, and near the | best prices, May being %@lc_higher at 91%@ 91%c. July sold between §27,@S3¥c, closing at_the top with a gain of Ja@%c. Provisions ruled strong and active on cover- | ing by shorts, together with heavy buying for investment account. The opening was strong, influenced by higher prices for hogs at the and on the advance in the price of | e grains the provision list became still | stronger. The selling was chiefly by local longs. May pork showed the greatest gain | and closed at an advance of 45c at $13 45, after | ranging between $1315@1350. May lard was up 20c at §7 50, with ribs 1714@20c higher.

Most buyers Wers anticipating further declines and were purchasing no more than absolutely necessary for immediate requirements. Telegrams from the north say that the steamer Oregon, due to- morrow, will bring neariy 10.000 sacks. Trade in river Burbanks was quiet, but as supplies were controlled by a few dealers prices were unchanged. No fresh Sweets came in, but a car was reported close at hand and due at any time. Onions were firmer under continued light receipts. Fine stock sold direct from the car at the inside rate. while the top quotation was Treadily obtained for small lots at the stores. ‘As usual on ‘Tuesday the receipts of Los Angeles vegetables were light and prices for chofce stock were well maintained.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. Butter continues steady and the situation shows no change whatever. Fancy creamery continues in light supply and there is no lar stock of lower grades. A number of dealers are now reporting rather more demand for the lower gra of Cheese, though even with this improved inquiry the income is fully up to the outgo, so the market shows little change. . The choice grades exhibit no new features, being dull and plentiful.

Trade in Oranges was of a light jobbing character and confined. chiefly to the large sizes, principally 96s, and such offerings were firmly held at a small premium. Retailers were complaining that the consumptive demand was very light owing to the continued cool weather, and were taking just about emough for immediate requirements. Tangerines were less plentiful and were quoted firmer. Lemons, Limes and Grave Fruit were In free supply and unchanged.
