CHIcAGo-Just a fair business was trans
acted in wheat to-day, and the feeling
was stronger with prices sustained above the
closing quotations of yesterday. The opening
was about the same as yesterdays closing fig
ures, but steadily advanced, with only slight fuc
tuations l1sc above inside opening figures, rece
ded 34c,again advanced 1sc, and closed firm and
| about ic higher. There was good local buying,
| part of which may have been influenced by the
| sudden change in the weather. The ground In
| the winter wheat districts is reported bare of
| snow and fears of freezing weather may have
induced some covering and also buying on
Corn was dull and neglected early in the
session, trading being of light local charac-
| ter, with fluctuations very narrow. The feeling
was quotably firm, and the market was much
| the same on yesterday. There was little If
| any outside news of consequence received but
at the close prices were 14@3sc higher than
yesterday.
In oats only moderate interest was taken,
and decreased volume of business was done
at a trifie higher prices than yesterday.
Trading was moderate in mess pork and the
feeling was steady. Prices were 59713c higher
early IN the day. but the appreciation was not
supported, and the market closed quiet.
A very quiet feeling prevailed in lard, which
was steady. Prices averaged slightly higher,
but the market closed quiet
Trading was moderate in short ribs, and the
changes in prices were slight
