has been pretty steady all day, slowly advancing

CHICAGO, June 5.--The wheat market was
somewhat unsettled to-day, but the violent
fluctuations of the last week were not seen.
Opening prices were under those of Saturday
and better than those indicated on the curb
yesterday. There was light outside trading,
and the Clique made no bold moves ana the
crowd had nothing to follow. July opened at
S414c, sold at S41Sc and up to Si5Sc- When those
who had sterted the market attempted TO buy
wheat before the close there was little for sale
and prices advanced SIC in short order and the
closing prices were very near the best for the
day aud a shade better than at the close on
Saturday. July was sac. The corn crowd
was surprised to-day by the way corn kept com
ing on this market. There was some weakness
early, from which there was sharp rally.
Then there was some selling by many, appar-
emily with the object OF pounding the market.
These tactics worked the price of July &c under
the top price Of the morning. A leading opera
tor was a persistent buyer early, and but for
him prices would no doubt have gone down I'M
prices were NC higher than the lowest for the
session. Oats, after the l O'Clock close, were
about steady and regular The feature in the
provision trade was activity and an advance in
lard One firm bought $500 tierces of October
at 81 77I@ in one block July sold at So 90 f4S ~
and closed at So 72I6GtS rs, an advance of 22lac
from Saturdays close. Pork and short ribs
short ribs and 10c on pork. July pork sold at
Sl4 12Is0l4 -, where il closed. July short ribs
sold at g. soar 68 and closed at 81 G2ls.
