CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, January ga fair business
was transacted in wheat and the feeling
was unsettled. The general indications
were favorable for a better market, anC
prices did average higher, but there was
more or less opposition to advancing
prices in the shape of free offerings by
two prominent local traders, The open
ing was strong at 1S@35o higher than
yesterdays close, and, Advancing 58C
more, later eased off under free offerings
and prices declined l 1l4c; they again raj
lied go, huctuated some, aud closed 70
higher than yesterday.
A better feeling was developed in corn
and trading was of larger volume than for
some time past though the range was
marrow. The market opened at yester.
days closing prices and advanced 38c
ruled steady and closed 1S@58c higher
than yesterday. Quite good speculative
trade was reported in mess pork, and
prices ruled with considerable irreg ularity.
Trading was quite active in lard and the
feeling was somewhat unsettled; short
