and Unsettled.
CHIcAGo-Wheat ruled weaker and the feel
ing was nervous. Trade was rather restricted
and the market ruled quiet during most of the
session. The opening was steady at about yes
terday's closing figures, ruled weak and after
numerous slight fluctuations became heavy and
declined 11sc for May delivery, advanced lc and
closed about lc lower than the closing yester-
day. July declined 171c and closed 11sc lower
and June l5sc lower. There was generally
more disposition to sell, though at the break in
price one large local trader bought quite freely
for May delivery, which caused somewhat of a
reaction.
For the long or new crop futures there was
unmistakably more disposition to sell, inf1u-
enced no doubt by the favorable weather for
growing crops. Reports of rain in California
and 3 break in the price of wheat there also
had a tendency to affect the market here, and.
especially for deferred futures.
Corn was less active and easy, owing to large
offerings by, prominent operators. The market
opened at about the closing yesterday, and was
steady for time, then :became weaker, de-
clining &c. reacted 1S@14c and closed at 14Q3sc
lower than yesterday.
Oats were active and weak. There were no
outside influences, the market being controlled
entirely by local traders The opening was the
same as yesterdays close, but decline of nc
was soon secorded Buying became quite free
at inside figures, and "a rally of nc followed,
but the market closed easy at Ease below
yesterdays last sales.
A moderately active trade was reported in
mess pork: and the feeling was somewhat un-
settled The market opened 5@71lc lower, but
the demand was sufficient on local and outside
account to rally prices l0@121zc Later an
easier feeling was developed and prices receded

ruled 215@5c lower early, but rallied again So
