CHICAGo-Trade in wheat was slow to-
day, fluctuations were light and within
lower range, prices declining Kc be-
low the lowest point reached yes
terday. recovered sc and closed Nc lower than
yesterday. The shorts bought some, which
partially held the market in check. There
seems to be but little inducement to trade for
the present. Prices are too low to be attrac-
tive for heavy short selling At the same time
operators say they see nothing especially to
buy on, and are awaiting new developments.
Market advices were unfavorabe to holders.
Only moderate business was transacted in
corn, prices showing but little change from
yesterday, being limited to Nc range. The
feeling developed was easier. The market
opened at about yesterdays closing, was firm
for time but soon became easier, selling OF
&c, and closing 1s@1zc lower than yesterday.
Oats were in fair demand early, and a frmer
feeling prevailed. Trading centered chiefly in
June and July, one large operator buying the
former and selling the latter, and at one time
June commanded slight premium over July,
but later an easier tone developed and prices
receded 1@14c.
An active speculative trade was reported in
pork and the feeling was easy during the
greater portion of the day. Prices were irregu-
made at about yesterdays closing figures, but a
weak feeling was manifested and prices de-
clined 71S@l0c Later the market showed
little more strength, with fair buying on local
account, and prices rallied again. Toward the
close the feeling was easy and prices receded
l215Gi5c and closed quiet.
A fair business was transacted in the lard
market and the feeling was easy. Prices ruled
716@l0c lower, and the market closed quiet at
inside figures.
A weak and unsettled feeling prevailed in
the market for short ribs and trading was
fairly active. Prices declined 1216Rl5c, and
the market closed quiet at inside figures.
