CHICAGo-Wheat ruled weak and averaged
lower than yesterday A fair business was
transacted, but there was no decided action to
the market either one way or the other, and
after decline of ss@Lc the marketheld fairly
steady most of the day, and the closing was
about &c lower for December and Nc lower for
May. There was nothing new in outside infiu-
ences, and the market was governed by local
Spectators. The impression was that parties
who were buyers yesterday were principal
sellers to-day. Shorts covered moderately.

The receipts in the Northwest continu large.
Five loads were reported taken for export at
New York to-day and 3M boatloads at Balt1.

apolis held up steadily at the start. 1t was es-
timated that the visible supply would show an
increase of about 2500,000 bushels, and may go
above these figures.

sion less interest being manifested than for
several days past Fluctuations were confined
to a L03kc range, and trading was mainly of
local character. The feeling prevailing was on
the whole firm. The market opened at yester-
days closing prices, was firm, changed but little
and closed same as yesterday.
In oats moderate business was transacted,
and steady feeling prevailed. May received
the most attention. A falr business was also
reported in changing trades from January to
ay, at 2115c difference.
Pork trading was quite active with the bulk
OF the business in November and January de-
liverIes- The fact that the supply on hand is
nearly five times as large as that reported on
hand one year ago, and that the manufacture
for October was equal to about 66 per cent Of
the total of last season, had depressing effect.
