CHIcAGo-The operations in wheat to-day
would have been regarded as wonderful but for
the fact that for range of prices and intensity
of feeling it fell far below yesterday. The mar
ket opened excited with May selling at 81 0411
to 81 0515 the first few minutes after which that
future was neglected, and the tip was out to
take July. While the deferred futures were be-
ing picked up freely. the shorts scare again
broke out in May. The price had eased off to
81 04115, and started up with rush which ended
at 81 0734. June sold at 9S14c to 81 90, and July
at Ss5sc to 9O1lc. Following the bulge there was
big selling of May
The clique houses are closely watched, and
no heavy selling was traced directly but there
seemed no doubt that Fairbank wheat went
out above l07 quite freely. At the same time
reports of rain where most needed were wired
from the Southwest and the fever to buy July
was quickly over, and the price went OF from
9O14c to SS14e May after touching the top for
the day at 81 07z. went of to 81 041s, rallied to
81 o. went of to 81 05 and again rallied slightly
before P. M. June dropped back from 81 to
99c. During the last hour of the session May
wheat held around 81 % until Just before the
close, when it went down to 81 0tZ, closing at
81 OK. June closed at CSC.
Corn was fairly active and firm early and
quiet and easier later. The market opened at
about the closing prices of yesterday, was firm
and advanced nc on covering by shorts. infiu-
enced some by the strength of wheat. Offerings
became larger at the advance, the aggregate
being sufficient to more than satisfy the de-
mand, and the market reacted, declining &c,
closing same as yesterday.
The market for hog products exhibited con-
the day, and prices ruled higher on all the
leading speculative articles. When the ex-
treme figures were reached the offerings were
enlarged somewhat and prices receded:
Toward the close the feeling was stronger, and
prices were again forced to outside figures.
Prices receded slightly, but the market closed
strong.
Oats took slight bulge early to-day in SYM
pathy with wheat May opened at 2574c and
closed at 25slc. June sold at 259sc and 2511c-
The leading futures ranged as rollows:
