CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-There was only fair trade
in wheat to-day chiefly local. though some little
outside business is being done, Higher prices
were again established, and the market de-
veloped decided strength. Some prominent
operator who has figured so conSpcuously in
the market for the past few weeks was credited
with being the principal buyer. The condi-
tions were about the same as recently noted,
and no new features are present. The markets
in the northwest continue to rule strong, and
Duluth for No / hard ruled 9091Sc above Chi
cago prices for No. 2. All the home markets
we're higher and foreign markets also ruled
stronger and shade higher. The opening here
was about &c higher than yesterdays closing,
with further advance of 46li14c established
later, ruled strong, and closed $4,000 higher
than yesterday, with May maintaining the
established premium. Corn was fairly active
and generally steady though early in the
session an easy feeling prevailed, after which
the market ruled unsettled. Trading
mainly local. and appears to be centering in
more deferred deliveries, May in particular to-
day ruling quite active. Influences governing
the situation to-day were Of a local character.
very little, if any, outside news of Importance
being received. The market opened 14c above
the closing prices of yesterday, was firm for a
time and advanced 14c, sold off sc, reacted
Nc ruled weak and declined 10ll1sc reaching
the lowest point of the session, and closed $40
&c lower than yesterday. Oats were quiet,
except May, in which there was a fair request.
near futures barely steady. Trading in mess
pork was moderate and chiefly during the first
hour, and almost entirely in November and
January; first sales were at 21605c advance,
declined $50 2I6c, rallied 12G15c, became
weaker, and closed quiet at nearly inside
figures. Lard was nervous, being difficult
to buy or sell moderate sized line without
affecting values. October declined SOC under
liberal offerings by prominent packer The
appearance of buyers after the decline caused
a rally of 3716c, but it was not maintained.
Trading in other deliveries were moderate and
prices lower. Short rib sides met a fair call,
and an easier feeling developed on near de-
lveres. but more distant futures we're steady.
