CHICAGo-There was rather active but
weaker opening to the wheat market to-day,
local sentiment leaning strongly to the hear
side. In the early dealings the only consider
able buying was by a prominent local operator,
and the reactions from weak spots throughout
the forenoon were generally due to his support.
But the market was so indeclsive in its action
| that fluctuations up to II o'clock were all with
in &c range, and at an average decline from
yesterdays close of Lc@5c. December see
sawed between S21s@82lzc and S254@S21sc, with
figures.
Private cables were generally weak in tone,
and none of them brought buying orders Tor
either spot or futures. The most important
bull news was the estimate made by reliable
authority of Louisiana, NO., that 10 per cent OIL
wheat is out of producers hands in that State.
and an estimate by the Toledo Market Record
that so per cent is already out of the farmers
hands in Ohio. The trade generally expect that
so per cent of the crop will be back and to come
on January in ordinary years. The close was
tame at net loss of 5s@5sc, May holding
steadier than the less deferred futures.
better feeling was developed in corn and
transactions were at slightly higher prices. A
prominent local trader was purchasing M falr
had stimulating effect on values. The long
corn seems pretty well placed, and there was
less disposition to sell than for several days
past The market opened &c above the closing
prices of yesterday, was firm and advanced 4@
&c, eased OH little. and closed h@5sc higher
than yesterday.
Oats again ruled very quiet and nothing
doing.
The market for pork was unsettled. Open
ing sales were at 212c decline. October ad-
yanced @ zoe on purchases by prominent oper-
declined 714@l215c, which was partly main
tanned at the close.
Only moderate business was transacted in
lard, and quiet and easier feeling prevailed.
Offerings were fair and prices reduced 216c,
and the market closed slow.
Short rib trading was lighter. Prices were
21<c lower for October early but later reacted.
January decliped 21hc.
