Good Buying Holds Up the Wheat Market
Corn and Oats Bring Better Prices
Hog Products Strong

anu ADVANCING
CHICAGO Trading in wheat was spas
modic with fair aggregate business. The
feeling was somewhat unsettled, and prices
averaged better than Saturdays closing. The
opening was a trife stronger and 1s@Zc
higher, but quickly weakened and sold OFF 15c
under quite free offerings. But good buying
started in at this decline which influenced a
more general demand, and the feeling became
stronger, with prices, after numerous fiuctua-
tions, advancing 111Sc, then declined nc, again
advanced 114c and closed 1e higher than Satur-
day.
Trading in corn was largely local. 1t opened
at Saturdays closing prices and gradually ad-
vanced &c, eased off sc, ruled steady and
closed full 1zc higher than Saturday.
Oats were more active and stronger with the
close NQ14c over Saturdays.
Hog products were stronger. pork advancing
