CHICAGo.-1n wheat there was moderate
trading early and quiet later. Speculative
operators did not take to either side very favor
ably. The feeling, however, was steady and
rather firm. The opening was steady and prices
held most of the session within %@5sc range,
ruling slightly over and slightly under yester-
days closing figures, and closed nc higher for
December and Nc for May. Cable advlces
were little more encouraging, quoting I'd ad-
sian shipments were light. The wheat crop of
the United Kingdom was estimated by some
English authority to not exceed 20 900 600 bush
els and that rat the the import requirements would
somewhat at variance with former official state
ments, which placed the crop close to sO,0oO,OO0
bushels.
Anvices from the Northwest state that re-
ceipts will probably not let up until after the
end of this month. 1t was estimated that the
visible supply would show an increase of 2000,-
600 to 2 500 900 bushels. Rains have been quite
general throughout the winter wheat country
and all through the Northwest. Trading to-
day was chiefly local. Some foreign buying
orders were received both for December and
May.
A fair trade was transacted in corn within
narrow limits, and a strong feeling prevailed,
though no material advance was established.
Small receipts and unsettled weather were the
chief efinfiuenceswhich offered effectedvalues the
near futures in particular ruling f1rmest of the
session. 1t was feared the wet weather would af-
feet the grading of the new corn. and a very
good demand existed for December. The market
opened shade higher than the closing prices
of yesterday, was firm, and advanced H0Nc,
reacted Il, ruled steady, and closed nearly
same as Yesterday. ..
Oats were traded in to moderate extent, and
firmer feeling prevailed. A large operator
sold heavily at the top, and the slight gain was
lost October met with better inquiry, and

In pork only fair trade was reported and
the feeling was somewhat unsettled. Offerings
for October and November were somewhat
larger and sold at irregular prices, declining Is
@2Oc. January ruled steady with little change
to note.
In lard trading was limited. October ruled
stronger and 714@loc higher, but other deliver
les were unchanged.
In short rib sides fair business was trans
acted, and there were few changes to note.
