| but the numerous fluctuations and &C
tions of the market Influenced moderate trad
ing Outside business was rather light. The
opening was very weak and A@Ac lower than
the closing of Saturday, and very quickly sold
off lc more. The decline was assisted by the
| selling of wheat by parties who were long
small quantities, and the general influence,
probably, was the snow-storm, which acted as
weakening factor. Later it again reached
the outside range, influenced possibly by the
decrease in visible supply, but again eased of
| ana closed about lssc lower for May and &c
lower for July than closing figures Saturday.
| However the changes in the market were
| credited more to local speculation than to any
| outside influences
Trading in corn was quite limited throughout
the entire session. and confined largely to the
| operations of local spectators. The feelng
developed was rather easier. and transactions
were at slightly reduced prices compared with
| Saturday.

! range. The near futures were stronger, and
! February advanced l1s.
| Only a moderate trade was reported IN nog
! products and the market was easier. Early IN
| the day the feeling in mess pork was hrmer, and
prices ruled 5@71Sc higher. Later, however,
weaker feeling was developed, and prices re-
ceded l2156l5c. Toward the close more steadl-
ness prevailed, and prices advanced 5Q113c and
closed rather quiet
