CHICAGO, May 24.-General business
was transacted on wheat today and trad
ing was more general, both on buying and
selling side. There was some buying at
the start but the most urgent orders were
soon filled and with rather free offerings.
| Weak feelings set in and operators soon
after opening became possessed with the
| idea that some one was selling wheat
very freely. 1t was thought that parties
who were reported as bieng strong Bulls"
the past few days had started to do some
selling today but whether this was for the
purpose Of breaking prices in order to
get better hold on the market or for the
purpose of unloading it, is difficult to
say. At any rate the feeling was settled.
