less deferred deliveries. Prices were weaker
from the start Opening quotations were ZQ

sion here was shared in by all outside markets.
New York being fully &c, and st. Louis about
| lc of Local sentiment was bearish and the
| steadiness that characterized the market after
the early break was largely, If not entirely, due
to the operations of prominent local trader
who was free buyer at under SOC for Decem-
Der and apparently willing to sell in quantities
to snit the crowd at a fraction above that
| price.
Rainy weather was again reported all over
| the Southwest, with some rain in the North
west. There was some selling on dispatch
from Minneapolis that the State Board of Agri-
culture had estimated the Minnesota crop a t

larger than last year and lQ.0O0, 900 bushels
larger than the crop of two years ago. Though

hardened tr1fe. and final closings were Nc
lower for December and sc lower for Septem-
Der than yesterday.
But little in eerest was manifested in corn;
trading being OF a light local character, huctu-
atlons were limited to Hc range and transac-
tive market opened A@Ssc lower than the clos
ing prices, of yesterday, changed.but little and
| final Quotations were &c lower than yesterday.

| pork at irregular prices. The feeling was weak
| during the greater portion of the day. Open
! ing sales were made at 5Q719c decline, and
| during the latter part of the session a reduc-
! Jion of l5420c was submitted to. Near the
close prices was a trihe higher, but trading was
! light.
A weak and unsettled feeling prevailed in
lard, and further decline of 24Q5c was sub
| mitted to.

market for short ribs. Prices receded SO
! 713c and closed rather tame.
