cHIcAG0-There was only moderate trading
In wheat to-day Most OF it was local. Opera
tors were rather inclined to the selling side,
but were reluctant about going short for fear
the market might advance, the conditions
being such that the market is easily controlled.
A prominent trader was reported as being
rather free seller, and the bull interest sold
moderately, realizing on their holdings. AT
the same time there was fair buying on the
various breaks, and the market was held within
a moderate range.
The opening was easier at about yesterdays
closing for July, declined, with only slight
fluctuations &c, then advanced Ec, again eased
of. fuctuated some and closed about l5sgls4e
lower than yesterday. May was very quiet and
closed about Nc lower, and June 111c lower.
There was nothing special in outside news to
affect the course of the market.
There was large business transacted in
corn within narrow limits, and the feeling was
little unsettled though generally steady.
There was nothing new of consequence de-
veloped, and prices were governed mainly by
local influences. chiefly by the operations of a
prominent local trader. There was a good de-
mand for cash, and May and the premium of
July over this month was reduced at the time
to H@1Ic. The market opened excited and
higher. first sales varying considerably in diff
ferent parts of the pit, but afterward sold nc,
ruled steadier and closed \ shade lower than
yesterday.
Oats were traded in fairly early. but the lat
ter part of the session was marked by quiet
ness. A frmer feeling prevailed. especially on
the near futures. May advanced nc, June Lc
and this was partly maintained. Most of the
trading was in July. and prices fuctuated fire.
quently within range of Nc. and at one time
sold at Nc above the closing figures of yester-
day, but closed with 1z@sSc gain.
Only few trades were made in pork. The
feeling was easy with prices 10@l5c lower, the
market closing tame at inside figures.
Lard attracted very little attention. There
were no price changes.
Only a fair trade was reported on short ribs,
and the changes were very slight.
