stronger-Hog Products Rule
Quiet and Steady.
CHICAGo-With the exception of a tenn
porary squirt, at which time a fair business in
wheat was transacted, the market to-day ruled
rather quiet and tame. Outside business
showed marked falling off and local traders
also restricted their operations The opening
was 5s1lc per bushel lower, Influenced by tho
dull and weak tenor of European market adj
vices, and after some slight fluctuations prices
declined &c more. Later the market advanced
l5sc, partly on report of 100000 bushels No. 3
red wheat being taken at Buffalo by Cleveland
millers and also by a rumor of some European
political troubles, but rather free selling at the
advance turned the course of the market down
and prices receded l34c, part of which decline
was very sudden, and the closing for May was
about he lower than yesterday. while June
and July closed the same as yesterday. Home
markets are all lower. 1t was reported that
some 200, 900 bushels of wheat had been bought
in New York the last few days by New York
millers.
Corn ruled quiet and steady. with trading of
light volume, fluctuations being within Nc
range. The feeling around the opening was
easy, after which better tone was developed
and transactions were at higher range of
prices.
Oats were somewhat more active. A stronger
feeling prevailed and prices averaged higher.
A moderately active trade was reported in
mess pork. Prices ruled irregular, though
confined within comparatively narrow range.
Opening sales were made At l2Ql21a@l5c de-
cline. but good demand from local and out
side operators rallied prices again l5c. During
the latter part of the session prices gradually
receded l0@l215c and the market closed quiet.
Trading was only fair in lard and the feeling
was steady. Prices ruled 212@5c lower and
the market closed quiet at about outside
figures.
Short ribs were quite active Prices aver
aged higher within comparatively narrow
range, closing at about the outside figures.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
