there was no public mention of the scene

times when wheat was pretty strong was

in the morning there was some pretty heavy
selling. The market thereupon weakened down
to 65} 0654c, but q local speculative demand
came in and prices advanced to S5ic, from which
figure they reacted The close, at l o'clock, was
steady and quiet. Prices for live hogs had con-
siderable to do with speculative values in the
pit this morning. At the yards hogs were about
Sc lower, and about 10000 head were on sale,
counting some 1000 left over from yesterday.
