MARKETS BY WIRE.
A Moderate Business in Wheat, With
December and May FractIonnllY
StronRer-Corn and Oats Quiet
Pork DuII and Strong.

European markets were quoted steady and firm
| through private sources. The first board dis
patch reported wheat tending down, but the
closing dispatch was drmer. The heavy clear
ances yesterday from the Atlantic seaboard
markets had a strengthening effect. Domestic
markets were steady early, then easier, but gen.
orally closed trm and slightly higher.
The movement in the Northwest continues
on liberal scale. and as yet does not show any
noticeable signs of letting up. In the winter
wheat markets the receipts have fallen on
somewhat and movement is rather light. Re
ceipts at IL points footed up $50 Ass bushels and
shipments from the same were 660, 5S9 bushels.
The market opened steady, then prices receded
&c. atterward advanced with some fluctuations,
5s93zc for December and &c for May, closing
Hc higher for December and &c higher 1or
May than yesterday.
Corn-A moderate trade was reported and
the feeling manifested was easier, though
lished toward the close of yesterdays session:
The principal influence to affect the view OF
operators was the lower temperature and more
favorable weather for the new crop. The
speculative market opened at about the closing
prices of yesterday, fuctuated within 1sQHc
range and closed about the same as yesterday.
Oats we're quiet with most of the trading in
May. An easier feeling prevailed but price
changes were confined to narrow range. A
large operator was the principal trader and
bought about 250.G00 bushels of May at 22115c.
Mess Pork-Very little business was trans
acted. Prices were steady on all deliveries.
Bard-Oferngs were small and the demand
was only fair and chiefly for November and
January delivery Prices were advanced 5Q7Ho
on the former, but other deliveries were steady.
Shipping demand moderate and refners back
ward.
Short Rib Sides-very little attention was
paid to the market. Prices exhibited very little
change.
