CHICAGo.-A good business was trans
acted in wheat to-day, but it was chiefly
of local character and credited to some of the
large floor operators. There was some short
wheat, so that on the whole there was consider
able trading. 1t was rumored that persistent
buyer of late, had been letting go of some OF
his holdings The market opened weak and
prices declined &c. for May and June and &c.
for July. closing about &c. lower for May and
June and 15e lower for July than closing fg-
ures Saturday. There were no new features
Weather fine and crop news favorable. There
was some inquiry for cash wheat here. and an
order for cargo for shipment east was being
worked on.
Only moderate business was transacted in
corn, fluctuations being limited to nc range.
The feeling was rather easy early In the DAY,
but later in the session steadier tone was de-
veloped.
A weaker and unsettled feeling developed in
oats and prices ranged lower, May being the
weakest due to free selling by longs and an
absence of any demand of consequence, except
from shorts. Prices on May declined sc from
Saturdays close, while June and July only sold
off 1s@1zc. The close was quiet at intermediate
prices for May but at about the same as Satur-
day for June and July.
Hog products attracted very little attention,
and trading was light. At the opening the
and outside account improved prices tenn
porarily. Later, however, the feeling was
weaker again, with light trading, and prices de-
clined on all the leading articles
