CHICAGO, May &-The wheat market pre-
sented a little more life and animation to-day
and the volume of trading was larger than yes

slowly. The feeling was little unsettled
opening up firm for July, and sold off imme
diately A@3Sc, then gained strength and gradu
ally advanced &c, became easier, selling of
| %@1Sc, rallied and closed &c higher than yes
terday. May sold down and ranged about the
same as June, and both these futures were
weak. 1t was easy to obtain cash wheat quite
lot, having been held in expectation of a
corner in May, having come on the market
yesterday and to-day.
August September and December showed
some strength. and closed A@5Sc higher than
yesterday. The reason given for the apparent
strength in these deferred futures is that mar
ket values are now about on legitimate basis,
and operators, taking into consideration the
low prices, are more disposed to cover, infiu-
enced some by the colder weather in the North
west.
A fair business was transacted in corn, and
the feeling developed was somewhat 6rmer,
transactions being at slightly higher prices.
The market opened at yesterdays closing
prices, was firm and advanced 9I@1Sc, ruled
steady and closed 10 to ss@7zc higher than
yesterday.
Oats were traded in moderately. A stronger
feeling developed and prices advanced 6G1zc.
The strength was due to fair purchases by a
leading operator and less disposition to SELL

close of yesterday, and a further reduction of
l0c was submitted to later in the day. During
the latter part of the session the feeling was
sreadier and prices rallied 716@l0c and closed
steady.
