Bull News Enough TO Boom Wheat, but
Material Advance Prevented by
Big Operator-Corn Lower
Oats Unchnnged-HOg

| CHICAGo-With spectators feeling as
friendly TO wheat as they were this morning
there was enough bull news received to have
put prices up a full cent had it not been for the
persistent selling by prominent local opera
tor. On every little bulge these offerings would
result in a reaction, so the market seesawed
back and forth within nc range for December
all day. 1t seemed impossible TO get the price
above 761zc, and buying orders at 7sc appeared
| to be so numerous that trading at under that
figure was inconsequential,
Narrow and hampered as the trade was spec
| ulative dealings were of rather larger volume
than noted yesterday, and the market fraction
ally higher. Final closings for futures here
were ss@11c higher, and the cash market was
also stronger.
A fair Speculative business wes transacted
in corn, the pit at times being quite active: Inc
feeling early in the session was firm, a fair de-
mand existing from shorts and shippers. The
demand, however, soon became satisfied. and
offerings became quite heavy, Influenced some
by larger receipts and warmer weather. The
| speculative market opened at about the closing
prices of yesterday, was firm for time and ad-
vanced LG14c, ruled weaker, declining &c, be-
came quiet and closed 1sG1zc lower than yes
terday.
The chief interest in the oats market GEN.
| tered in May, which was traded in to moder-
crate extent. but prices held steady at the same same
range as yesterday. Other futures were more
or less neglected, and prices without variation
| of Importance.
In hog products only a moderate trade was
| reported, and steadier feeling prevailed, huc-
| tuations in prices being confined within mar
| row range. Shorts purchased moderately; and
the bulk of the outside orders were apparently
on the buying side. Trading was almost ex-
| clusively in contracts for September October
and January. On the whole range prices ruled
higher, more particularly on mess pork, and
the market closed steady at about outside fig
| ures. Pork advanced l2116l5c for near de-
liveries Ribs ruled higher by SC.
| The leading futures ranged as follows:
