Opening prices, which ranged from c decline to o advance with May at $1.87 to $1,88 and July at $1.58 to , were followed by a sharp general break and then a rise all around to yesterday's finish or considerably above. In corn as well as In wheat, realizing eales were quickly absorbed. Demand proved sufficiently active to lift the market to a new high price record. After opening off to up, values underwent moderate sag and then scored general net gains. ' Oats showed no Independent strength. Commission houses were the best buyers. New top-notch Quotations on hogs lifted provisions. Packers supported the advance.
