Well Supported.
CH1oAGo-Trading in wheat was light to-day
and the market was dull. There was no spe-
cial news from outside, and business was lin
tied both on local and outside accounts.
There was some buying of December and sell
ing for May by some parties, but this neces-
sarily was not of any special significance, posi-
bly, covering and evening up of the former and
putting out new lines for May. However, one
prominent local trader has been credited with
being free buyer for December the past few
days, and manip ulation was again limited. The
opening was about 1s@14c lower than yester-
days closing, advanced N9sse, ruled easier,
and closed HQ1zc lower for December and Hc
lower for May than closing figures of yester-
day.
European market advices failed to give any
encouragement to holders. 1t is estimated
that the visible supply of wheat will show an
increase of about 10000 to 1,OOO,UOO bushels.
1t was reported that some Chicago parties in
tended bringing down another large quantity Of
wheat from the Northwest At the close of
Change it was rumored that a cargo OF wheat
had been taken at New York for shipment to
the South of France.
Corn-The market opened at yesterdays
| closing prices, was dull and inactive prices
varying barely 10 up to IL O'clock, when a
prominent local SPECTATOR purchased freely of
December, and prices advanced 9s@%c, local
shorts covering, and final quotations we're 1@Nc
| higher than yesterday.
Oats were traded in to fair extent and an
| unsettled feeling prevailed. The market opened
weak and prices receded 1s6hc, but rallied and
closed steady. The strength was due to the
for May by a large operator.
In mess pork, rather more doing and the feel
| ing was irmer. November was advanced I71z
Q2Oc and other deliveries 71x@l0c, and the ad-
vance was moderately well supported
In lard very little business was transacted
and the feeling was steadier. Prices were ad-
vanced 271Q5c and closed steady.
s In short rib sides little more life was mani
rather favored sellers, though no material
change was noted.
