CHICAGO, June 2.-The action of the local
wheat market to-day did not leave it very clear
to the trade or the public just what the clique
now at work in the pit is trying to accomplish
The market here opened firm, and after Nc ad-
vance, went all to pieces. New York was ap-
parently bullish early because of covering by
shorts in the old crop options, while other flu
lures were about 16c lower when the Exchange
closed at noon. The conservative element kept
aloof largely, and the transactions were not as
heavy as the fluctuations would indicate. The
bulls, seeing the situation, are encouraged by
the light primary receipts while the bears are
watching the accumulation of wheat at the
seaboard and the light clearances. July sold at
S61ec to open up to S6s4c, and then down with
hardly rally to Sage. Later the prices re-
turned to &c. and again went to sage. August
sold early at S514c and down to S334c, reacting
| to 841sc. December S615c up to S694c, down to
| 851sc, and returned to 864c. Closing prices in
wheat for all futures for the day and week:
June 1850, July 645Sc, August S41sc, September
s3LSc December 85eSc. Corn was not excited
at anything, although there was a fair volume
of trading in the pit. Prices were advanced
early, but closed below last nights prices, with
realizing sales by the crowd, and the slump in
wheat caused prices to go off about 3c from
the top prices of the morning. June sold at
55L4c and 557bc, July at 555Sc and 5614c, August
5524c and 56skc, closing at bottom prices for the
day Oats were rather quiet and dull June
delivery was weak and lower; July steady early
and finally declined, but other futures were
not materially changed. The publication of
the stocks of hog products in this city made a
larger showing than was expected, but are
49, 900 900 pounds less than June l of last year.
Receipts of hogs were light. and prices sc
higher There was little disposition on the
part of operators to trade and the small bust
ness that passed was chiefly of a scaling
nature At the close pork was 2l6c lower and
short ribs 21bQh5c, but lard was sc higher. July
pork sold at S14 O5@14 1915. and closed at
$14 O716 July lard sold sparingly at $S 471k0
521k. and closed at So 5216. July short ribs
sold at 81 6O97 62l4, and closed at 81 62l6. The
packing since March is 7o5, 900 hogs, against
rs, 900 hogs the same time last year.
