CHICAGo.-Tradlng in wheat to-day was
moderate. Operators were rather inclined to
sell December, and those disposed to buy gave

fairly steady most OF the session within lower
range Of prices, the decline being most marked
in December.

sion trading being light and fluctuations limited
to a 1s@1zc range. The speculative market
opened a shade under closing prices of yester-
day, was steady for time, became easier, ruled
steadier, and closed shade better than Mon
day.

feeling was steady
