| CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-In wheat rather dull
and easy feeling existed during most of the
|
| operators. The opening was weaker, and first
| sales were 1SGLc below Fridays closing, de
| clined &c more, later improved some, and Sc
of the early decline was recovered; again ruled
| easy, and the closing was about 1R0Ac lower
| than Friday. Milder weather induced rather
/ free selling. In corn a moderate business was
| done, and the feeling prevailing easier. The
/ market opened at Fridays closing prices was
| steady for time a very fair inquiry existing
| for May and July. but offerings we're large and
| the undertone heavy. The market declined &c,
| closing 1s0l14c lower than Friday Oats were
| fairly active, weaker and lower, due TO mild
weather, fair receipts, decline in other grain,
| and also to selling by longs. Prices receded IL
| 6114c early. The market closed steady at the
| same as Fridays last sales Only a light bust
| ness was done in pork ana almost exclusively
/ in May. Prices ruled about &c higher and
| closed steady. Lard was dull. and no changes
| to note. There was only fair business in short
| ribs Prices were little more favorable to
| sellers. -
