CHIcAGo-Wheat-A very fair volume of
speculative business was transacted to-day, and
the market was steady with fluctuations con-
fined within narrow limits. While good deal
of short wheathas been covered on the recent
break. there no doubt was considerable short
age created new lines being put out BY parties
who calculated on a still further decline.
Should the right influences develop, suen as
would encourage buying, there might De some
little furry among the short interest. Ope-
rators rather incline to buy on weak Spots IMAM
sell. and especially as there is an impression
that some Of the principal lines OF long wheat
have been closed out.
The opening was a shade easier than yester-
days closing, ruled easy for while, and then
strengthened and prices were advanced &c,
again held steady and closed about N05sc
higher than yesterday The indications are
that the increase in the visible supply will be
small possibly will not exceed LOCO, COO bushels,
and estimated by some less. Advices from the
Northwest state that the big movement from
the country is over.
CORA fair trade was transacted and the
feeling developed was much stronger, high
range of prices being established. Offerings OF
all futures, with the exception of May, were
exceedingly limited. December was decidedly
stronger, and closed with net gain for the
day compared with yesterday of 1c. The specu-
lative market, January, February and May
byg
was strong and advanced Z@akc, eased of a
little, and became quiet, closing N@ssc higher
than yesterday.
Oats were steady, with moderate volume Of
business. Operators endeavored to change
contracts from December to January at &c
difference and few trades were made. May.
was offered fairly at the opening at fractional
decline. A large operator took all there was
for sale, and bid prices up Nc. and the market
closed quiet.
Pork-Very little business was transacted
and changes only slight. Prices ruled 211@5c
higher early in the day. but closed easier again
and very quiet.
Lard-Nothing of consequence was doing,
and prices are without change.
Ribs-The market attracted no particular at
tention.
