opening, again advanced about lc befor'
noon, where it hung for some time The smalle
class of traders were all pretty well loaded a
the start and as the bear element were quit'
conservative in their movements, nolder'
showed no disposition to weaken. There wa:
at no time, in fact, any pressure to SELL and the
market rallied well from all weak spots not
wlthstanding the increased interior movement
and fine weather everywhere.
Halt an hour or so before the close there wal
substantial reaction, and some of the early
Improvement was lost The extreme weakness
| at the finish was due to depressed late private
cables, and the free selling here by New York
parties. The latest bids were &c under yester
days closing, and l@lLc off from the best
prices of the day.
A good business was done in corn. which was
easy early and later somewhat firmer, but re-
acted some with wheat. The market opened
rather weak at about yesterdays closing prices,
was easy and sold off u offerings of October
were quite liberal, about 900 bushels being
delivered on contracts. 1t closed a shade
lower than yesterday.
Oats were quiet and steady, and without new
features of interest.
Trading was only moderate in mess pork,
and the feeling was steadier except for October
delivery; outside of October, prices were ad-
yanced 5Gl0c, but not supported to the close.
Not much doing in lard, and the feeling
steadier. Prices ruled PIC better, and the
market closed quiet.
In short ribs the inquiry was moderate and
offerings rather light. The feeling was steady,
prices favoring sellers.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
