Provisions were a shade to was l-4@3-8c higher. Oats were up 2 l-2c lower. t. ' The wheat market was firm all day on an active demand by shorts and commission houses. Selling was scat tered, and chiefly by local longs. At the outset the market was strengthen ed by a decreased movement in the northwest, unfavorable weather . for handling the crop and a moderate ad vance at Liverpool. The world’s ship ments for the week were somewhat less than the amount previously esti mated, but exceeded by almost one million bushels the shipments for the corresponding week last year. The possible supply station caused some bullish feeling late in the day, the fig ures showing an increase of 1,041,000 bushels, against an increase of 2,382,- 000 for the same time last year. The market closed firm. May opened a shade to l-B@l-4c higher at 75 l-2c to 75 5-Bc, advanced to 76c and closed at 75 3-4 c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 509,400 bushels. The amount on passage decreased 320,000 bushels. Primary receipts 1,022,000 bushels, against 965,000 for the same day last year. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 650 cars, against 973 last week and 704 a year ago. THE SPOT COTTON MARKET IN DETAIL. Net Gross Great Con- Coast- Mex- Markets. Tone. Middling.
