CHIcAGo-Trading in wheat was quiet to-
day, but throughout the feeling was unsettled
and nervous. There was another furry in July
wheat, and shorts were anxious to cover and
considerable interest was manifested in this
future which fuctuated very wildly to point
SIC above yesterdays closing, dropped back
215c and closed the same as yesterday, The
more deferred futures fuctuated within a
smaller range, advancing some nc, then de-
clined A@Zc. and closed H@Slc lower than
yesterday The July future was controlled
mainly by speculative influence. and 1t is
thought there is pretty falr shortage out.
The rains in the Southwest were destructive
to crops and helped to make the short interest
little cautious.
A moderate business was transacted in corn,
but the close was shade lower than yester-
day.
There was a frmer feeling in oats.
Mess pork was more active and weak. The
market closed at medium prices. Lard and
short RIBS were dull and easy
The leading futures ranged as follows:
