CHICAGO March Trading in wheat was
| below the average of the-past few days and
quiet and dun feeling prevailed. The feeling
was rather steady, and fluctuations were con-
| fined within narrow limits, the entire range
| being 15c and closed 4c higher than yesterday.
| There no outside business to speak Of. and
only limited local trading. Deliveries of wheat
| on March contracts were light. There was
| lack of outside news. Corn ruled quiet aud in
active early in the session, but fairly active to-
ward the close. Trading was quite large and
confined to transactions between local opera
tors. The feeling generally was very firm,
| offerings being only moderate, while very fair
demand existed. The market opened at yester-
| days closing prices. declined IA 6t14c, advanced
&c, ruled steady, and closed 1sQe]4c higher than
| ye terday. Oats were quiet aud steady, with
| no marked tendency There were deliveries
! of March contracts. A fairy active trade was
| reported in hog products, but the feeling was
| soneV hat unsettled. Weakness in the hog
market had some effect early in the cay, and
| sales of speculative articles were made at lower
prices. Deliveries on March contracts were
| limited, and the prospect OF the report of stocks
| on hand showing only slight increase had a
siren ythening infiue ICE later, and prices rallied
| again. outside prices however were not sup
| ported TO the close, and the market closed
| rather quiet
