Good Trading in Wheat, but on n Lower
Level of Values-Late Buying Or
ders Prevent a Bad


Break.
CHIcAGo.-There was good trading in wheat
during the early part of to-day's session within
narrow range, prices varying scarcely more
than 1s@1zc. Some of the big local shorts were
covering, and there was considerable selling on
New York account The opening was quiet,
with prices about &c lower than yesterday s
closing, but the local feelingwas rather bullish
and the market rallied slightly. Later prices
dropped off A@Hc, recovered again, but closed
easy, H@ssc lower than yesterday.
For over an hour after the opening trading
continued pretty fair, and after that ruled
rather dull until inside figures were reached,
when buying orders, about Sl1sGS2c for Decem-
Der, prevented further decline.
Corn ruled quiet the greater part OF
the session, trading being largely local and fuc-
tuations limited to SG1zc range. The feeling
was on the whole somewhat easier. There was
no new feature developed, and prices were
governed msinly.by.. local influences, closing
shade lower.
Oats were a trife more animated, but a
weaker feeling developed. and prices declined
slightly. Trading was fair but mostly In De
cenher and May. There was more pressure to
sen, and prices declined H@Zc, the market
closing easy at about inside figures.
The mess pork market was unchanged ana
trading was limited. Prices favored sellers
without material change.
Very little business was reported in laro.
Prices were rather in favor of buyers.
Little interest was manifested in short ribs,
and the feeling was easier
