Oats and Pork Rather
Stronger.
CHIcAGo-Wheat-Them market presented no
new features to-day, and fluctuations were
limited within a 1z@ssc range. Business was
chiefly local and not much of that, and outside
orders were few. Prices hung around the
closing quotations of yesterday the market
selling shade above and closed about hc
higher for December and &c higher for May
than closing figures of yesterday Local
traders felt rather bullish, but outside support
was lacking, ard the market did not develop
much strength.
European market advices were rather strong.
the tenor of private reports quoting wheat
offered moderately, feeling firm and prices
tending up. while public advices noted firm
feeling at unchanged prices The receipts in
the Northwest continue large. though advices
state that deliveries are falling off considera-
bly,. Speculative trading centered chiefly in
May. There was little better milling deman
to-day, but the inquiry was confined mainly to
the choice samples of the lower grades.
Coma fair trade was reported within
narrow limit and the tone of the market was
relatively frmer, slight advances being estah-
the close. December and May as usual re-
ceived the most attention, the former being IN
good demand at times. one operator taking IN
the neighborhood of 2500O0 to 100000 bushels.

vance followed. The market opened at about
the closing prices of yesterday, was inclined 10
be easy at times. then advanced 1S8Lc, became
quiet, closing shade better than yesterday.
Oats were fairly active but unsettled. with
fluctuations confined to a small range. Shorts
were the largest buyers, and bid prices up &c.
On the advance offerings increased, but all the
orders to sell May at the top could not be exc
cuted owing to moderate buying. A weak feel
ing developed, and closing sales were at in
side.

chiefly for January delivery. Prices ruled 59l0c
higher and closed at about medium figures.
