CHIcAGo-Wheat-A fair speculative busi
ness was transacted to-day and the feeling was
little unsettled throughout Fluctuations in
prices were again confined within rather mar
row limits. There were no specially new feat
ures presented excepting that the elevators
might possibly combine and agree upon ad
herring to full storage rates and not allow any
rebates for winter stored grain. The possibil.
ity of such a movement induced the selling OF
the nearer deliveries, and the buying of May,
causing the premium to widen out from AZ on
Saturday to 81 to-day.
The market opened at about Saturdays clos
ing figures, ruled steady for whfie, but De
cember soon became weak and declined Hc,
while May held steady. Later the market Tor

ceded ssc ruled steady and closed about &c
