The restoration by the railroads of the embargo at the yards on outgoing freight, chiefly affecting eastern points, caused general gloom and speculation both as to its immediate and future effect on the market. The general belief was that the answer largely lies in the duration of the order, the view being that prices probably would decline if quick relief was not obtained, though some traders were of the belief that the small receipts during the last two market days had iu great measure lessened the blow ss far as the next few days are concerned. Demand for light and medium hogs was strong at the opening, with prbes up 25<g000, one lot of 1.000 going at $15.75. though the bulk or the sales in the early hours was at sl6. Comparatively few heavy hogs were on the market and there was no trading in that class. Sows were In demand at an advance of 25®50c. some small sales being reported’ as high as $12.75.

May corn opened late at $1.73% and remained unchanged. July corn, after opening %c up at $1.66, sank l%c. September corn down %c on opening at $1.59. lost on additional %e before noon. May oats opened %c up at sl, but later lost l%c. July oats also lost l%e In later trading, after opening unchanged at 90c. History was made on the board, when May outs reached $1 in late trading. The price was the high mark for the crop and a record oats price. May com also made anew high record for the crop at $1.75. The prices were made In a spurt due to covering by shorts. The spurt was followed by weakness, which continued throughout the day. Both corn and oats closed l%c to 2c lower.
