to-day, and there was considerable hqui'
datiou of long wheat The opening was
about S9kc lower for December and &c
lower tor May, and later declined 1s9lc more
for the former and &c more for the latter
future, closing nc lower for December and
l1sc lower for May than closing figures on
Change yesterday.
1t was claimed that the decline was partly a
bucket-shop raid to force out lot OF long
wheat held by their customers on small mar
gins.
In corn the increased movement and the re-
action in wheat created an easier feeling In
this market, and transactions were at slightly
lower prices, though no material decline was
recorded.
In oats there was considerable pressure 10
sell, but no demand of consequence except one
large local operator who bought May every
time the price declined. The near futures were
slow and &c lower.
For mess pork prices ruled 5@715c lower
early, but rallied l0Ql215c, and closed steady;
In lard the feeling was easier. Prices ruieu
215@5c lower.
