Wheat Stronger and rhe July Option Higher
ON Favorable CabIes-Corn and Oats
Quiet-HOE Products Show an
Advancing Tendency.
CHIcAGo-There was fair trading in wheat
to-day, and a stronger tone pervaded the mar
ket July, in which the principal interest CEN
tiers, opened ss011c higher and advanced &c
more, or Illc above Saturdays closing, and
closed Just lc higher. Cable adviccs denoted
more strength on the other SIDE and private
reports quoted Id advance and an improved de-
mand. The decrease in the visible supply was
greater than had been calculated upon, and
helped to strengthen the feeling. After the
noon hour the market weakened somewhat un-
der increased offerings Parties who had
bought at lower prices realized on their pur-
chases but the closing was strong. Some ship
ping demand existed here.
There was only a moderate business in corn,
which was duh during the entire session, huc-
tuations being confined within 1s61zc range,
and operations we're limited to transactions of
room traders. The feeling was comparatively
steady, and final quotations were trihe better
than Saturdays closing.
Oats were fairly active but unsettled. The
opening was easy, and a fractional decline fol-
lowed the first sales. Good buying, however,
produced a firmer feeling, and prices advanced
g toxic. A recession of 1S@lc followed the
appreciation, and the market closed quiet and
HG1ze above Saturdays last sale.
Only moderate trade was reported in hog
averaged slightly higher on the leading articles,
and the market closed quiet at medium
figures. Trading was confined almost ex-
clusively to May and July contracts.
