No Vim in the Wheat PIT and Prices Break
DOwn-Hog Products Active and
Strong at Medium Fignres.
| CHrCAGo-The wheat market was quiet, and
there was no special feature to note. Fiuctua-
tons were confined within narrow limits. and
prices did not vary particularly from yester-
days closing. The opening was about the
same as the close of yesterday, eased on &c,
| improved N@9Se, receded again to inside fg-
ures, and closed ISc lower than yesterday.
I he offerings were fair. and some selling was
done on New York account. The undertone
was apparently weak, due to : lack OF conn-
dence on the part of trading.
Corn was traded in to fair extent the mar
ket opening firm on the damp weather and
| small receipts but later ruled easier on the
selling by prominent local trader, and also for
st. Louis account. Transactions were larger
in May, which received the most attention.
The market opened firm, a shade above the
closing of yesterday, was strong for time,
then became easier, declining 1s0Nc. and
closed trife lower than yesterday.
Oats were fairly acrive but weaker and go
&c lower. January which was strongest and
showed the greatest advance yesterday devel-
oped the most weakness and decline to day.
Ihe change was attributable to selling by the
largest holders through brokers.
More life was manifested in the market Tor
hog products and larger business was reported
than for some time past The advance In
prices gained near the close of change yester-
day tended to bring out little property held
by the long interest. The receipts of hogs were
moderately free and prices were well sustained.
There was rather more pressure to sell lard
and short rib sides than mess pork, consequent
ly the latter showed more steadiness than the
other articles. Opening sales were made at
about outside figures. but weaker feeling was
developed later. During the latter part Of the
session trading was only moderate and the mar
ket closed at about medium figures.
The leading futures ranged as IoIlows:
