CHIcAGolWheat-A large business was
transacted on speculative account to-day ano
the market was quite strong most of the session
There was active buying by shorts, and at the
same time the advanced prices induced con
siderable realizing by the long interest. The
wheat, however, seemed to be al absorbed
without causing much, if any, reaction In prices
until about half an hour before the close. when
| a weak feeling set in. prominent local trader
was credited with having bought lOOO,OOO push
! els for December delivery and sold moderately
of May. Several local commission houses were
reported as having sold large quantities. The
short interest manifested considerable uneasi:
| ness at the action of the market, and some OF
| the larger shorts were credited as having
/ covered freely. The bull side received stlmu-
| lating influence in the way of more favorable
| cable advices and rumored export buying at the
| seaboard.
The receipts in the Northwest continue quite
| liberal but it is lntimated that stormy weather
may tend to reduce the movement The mar
ket opened about Nc higher than yesterday
| closing eased off 1sG1zc and then advanced lc
| for December and only SsG17c for May, de-
clined to inside prices again and closed 1sc
higher December and 1zc lower for May, the
| closing figures of yesterday.
| Corn-A good business was transacted within
a range of &c the bulk of the trading being early
! in the session. The feeling developed was
weaker. December and May received the most
attention. The general impression was that

speculative market opened at about Saturday s
/ closing prices was firm on good buying by a
/ large speculative house, but offerings soon be-
came heavy and declined 5sc. became quiet and
steady, and closed A9ssc lower than yester-
| day.
Oats were traded in with less freedom, and
the urgent demand from shorts, who have been
the chief buyers for several days past, appears
to have subsided. A weaker feeling developed
and prices receded AQ%c, and the market
closed quiet at about insiGe prices.
In mess pork comparatively light trade was
reported. and the feeling was easier; prices
ruled 5G77ac lower. and the market closed
quiet at the reduction.
