CHIcAGo-Wheat-The volume of trading
was not as large to-day as duriugth preceding

largely of the professional order. and there was
| considerable covering by shorts and some sell
| ing by longs at the advance. The market opened
k@llc lower, then ruled firm, advancing HQ
&c again weakened off, selling of TO inside
prices, fuctuated and closed about &c lower
| than yesterday.
