Early Months-Corn and Oats With.
out Special Feature-Hog Prod.

ucts Active and Higher.
CHIcAGo-A moderate business was trans
acted in wheat to-day in the aggregate, though
at times the market ruled very quiet The
1eenng was steadier, and prices for May aver
aged higher than closing figures Of yesterday
while July varied only slightly. Influences
were again chiefly local. The opening for May
was from nc below to the closing of yesterday
but soon started up and advanced lssc, de-
clined He, recovered, closing &c higher than
yesterday. June closed about 2Sc and July Nc
higher than yesterday.
The early advance was stimulated some by
the report of increased clearances from the
seaboard yesterday, and confirmation of a
rumor yesterday of buying in California for
shipment to Australia Besides the above
news a charter for $1,000 bushels No. mill
wheat was made to 60 to Kingston. A primary
local trader was quoted with being good
buyer most of the session, with some following
by other floor traders, but at the advance there
was an impression that the market was being
fed by someone.
A moderate business was reported in corn.
Trading however. was mainly local. and fiuc-
tuations confined within &c range. The pre-
vailing feeling was comparatively steady,
though at times an easier tone was manifested,
but fluctuations did not vary materially from
yesterday.
Oats were traded in fairly early in the session,
but during the latter part quietness prevailed.
A fair number of buying orders arrived from
the outside for May, and the market for that
month was steady, changes being confined TO
&c, and closing sales were at about the same
prices as yesterday. June and July were traded
in fairly. A weaker feeling developed, es-
xc.
Quite good business was transacted in mess
pork, and the market exhibited considerable
strength. Prices were advanced 30G35c on the
whole range, and the market closed steady.
Lard and short ribs sympathized with pork
