| ish IN the extreme. Several times during Tie
session concerted drives we're made at the
market, resulting in moderate reactions from
outside figures and had it not been for the
| light interior movement in the Northwest, and
the bullish dispatches from that part OF the
country, substantial break would probably
have been witnessed. One report said tnat
half the wheat in the Red river valley was
still in shock and the heavy rains of last night
will surely injure it." Subsequent inquiry
brought denials of the damage part OF this
story.
The market was only moderately active, aud
most of the business was between room traders.
1t was milking sort of a deal apparently. A
prominent local operator was Tree seller at
and around 791ac Tor December. FluctuationS s.n +
| were all within extreme limits OF lc, and hnal
closings were practically at bottom Tor the day.
Based on yesterdays latest bids. the net loss
was &c in September and year, Ac In october
and December and lc in May.
An active trade was witnessed in corn, the
feeling being weaker lower prices being estab-
lished Transactions were largely In the more
distant futures, May in particular receiving the
most attention, and trading IN this market was
unusually heavy. The weakness was due
largely to the fine weather and larger receipts.
The local crowd were not disposed to trade
heavily in the near months. The market
| opened weak at a shade under yesterday clos
| ing and under heavy offerings by several large
houses the market declined 129ssc, was weak
and closed with the near months Hc, and more
distant deliveries ssQs4c lower than yesterday.
Oats were traded in moderately. The near
| futures developed fair strength. There was
less pressure to sell and prices were fairly
maintained. May receded LQssc, and the mar
ket closed easy.
Very little business was transacted in mess
pork, the feeling was firmer and prices higher.
A quiet and steady feeling prevailed in lard.
and prices exhibited very little change.
A fair trade was reported in short ribs and
the feeling was easier. Prices ruled 21295c
lower, ana the market closed quiet at outside
figures.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
