Up by One Mun-COrn and Oats
Higher-Hog Products Quiet
and Stendy.
CHIcAGo-This was about the dullest day
witnessed in wheat in this market for many
| weeks. Fluctuations were too small and mar
row to stimulate trading, and the market ap-
| parently was held in check by a prominent
local trader who bought and sold enough to
hold the market under control. July delivery
| opened H@3sc lower, declined 1zc more, ad.
vanced sc, fuctuated within sc range during
the session and closed about 1ke lower than
yesterday. The market was without any i'm
| portant feature.
A fair degree of activity was manifested in
corn and the feeling prevailing was one of firm
ness. The market opened at about yesterday IS
closing, was steady, but soon sold up ss0Ec,
| the near futures showing the most strength,
eased off little, ruled steady and closed 1z9
| sc higher than yesterday.
Oats were stronger and shade higher.
| Trading was light and mostly of local charac-
ter. Prices advanced 1s@14c and the close was
steady at about outside figures.
| Quite good business was transacted in pork,
| especially early in the day. The market was
| considerably unsettled, and opened with sales
| at 10eUl215c decline, and further reduction of
| 2O4221Sc followed, with good trading at the re-
duction. During the balance of the session
! the market was steadier and prices rallied 90
| nc, and closed rather quiet
| A quiet and easy feeling prevailed in lard
and trading was comparatively light. Prices
ruled weak, and declined 5G615c, closing quiet
at the reduction.
An increased business was reported in short
ribs, and the feeling was easy. Prices ruled IA
| @l0c lower, and the market closed rather tame
at the reduction.
