Inc 'FRONT.'
CHICAGo-Trading in wheat was active to-
day, and strong feeling was developed. The
market was governed wholly by local infiu-
ences. there being holiday in Europe. fair
outside business was transacted, including
some buying Of futures for Eastern millers.
The market opened about the same as Thurs
DAYS closing, ruled firm, May advancing nc
and July barely 1c, receded some and closed at
Hc higher for May and &c for July.
Early in the session attention seemed to be
centered in May. the July future ruling quiet,
and II sold ut lAc discount, from May prices,
but later July was the most sought after, and
that future advanced to within &c of May.
The principal factor and one which had the
most influence was the crop reports received,
which still point to reduction IN yield of the
next crop.
Corn was fairly active the greater part of the
session. with feeling rather firm. However, the
undertone was exceedingly nervous and it took
very little to start prices up or down. The mar
ket opened active, with an easier tone, but
there was good buying, and when wheat started
up corn followed; but it reacted some, rallied,
ruled steady and closed a shade better than
Thursday.
Oats were quiet and steady and without i'm
portant features to cause any especial change
in prices. An operator who bought heavily on
Thursday was a free seller, and the buying was
by the seller of Thursday.
