ucts Stronger.
CHICAGo-Trading was rather light and
no interesting features presented. Most
of the business was on behalf of local
traders. A trader prominently identified with
this market was good buyer for both De-
cember and May at the opening and after
ward sold freely on the advance. Several
traders endeavor Ell to realize on the top.
Some selling on foreign account was reported.
The opening was rather steady-slightly De-
low yesterdays closing-and soon thereafter
prices rallied about &c, with some effort to
sustain prices, but free offerings created weak
ness, and traders were not slow to get out
from under and prices declined lc ruled
steady and closed about ssG5zc lower than yes
terday. There was a lack of stimulating news.
very dull day was witnessed in corn, ,tradlng
being light and limited TO the usual room op-
orators, with fluctuations confined within nc
range. The feeling was easier and slightly
lower prices were established. The market
opened at ABOUT the closing prices of yesterday,
was very dull for some time, became trlne
more active, again ruled quiet, but just before
the close dull, declining in all ~, and nnai quo
tatlons were &c below yesterday.
Oats were weaker and prices receded Ls61zc.
Trading was fair but not of character TO In
spire buyers, and few appeared except those
having shorts to full. Aside from the opera
tions of one or two traders who bought on the
decline, there were no new features.
Rather more was doing in pork, and the feel-
ing was stronger and prices averaged slightly
higher.
There was only a fair trade in lard. The
feeling was somewhat steadier and ruled about
21c higher.
In short ribs there was more life to the mar
ket, and the feeling was stronger. Shorts
wanted October, and there was some invest
ment demand. October advanced 10GGHc,
and the other deliveries were 2I@5c lighter.
