CHICAGO, Jan. 9-The day was one of ex-
traordinary dullness on Change. what little
activity was displayed being confined to the
wheat pit. Some vigorous pounding of that
cereal was INDUCED in early in the session, which
caused the May option to drop to size. The rumor
that the French government contemplated
further increase III the duty on foreign
wheat aided somewhat in weakening the
situation. The "bulls' claimed that the South
western wheat fields were covered with ice,
which made little frnler feeling and with
some short" covering, May advanced to S8c
and closed at 87sc bid. There was hardly sufi-
Gent trading in corn and oats to establish mar
ket, but prices closed shade frmer. Provisions
