Fair Movement in Wheat, But Prices Lack
Staying Qualities = Hog Products
Quiet and About Steady

Quiet and About Steady
All Around.
CHJCAGo-The volume of trading in wheat
was little larger to-day at lower range of
prices. A prominent local trader was credited
with being liberal seller early and a moderate
buyer later. The weakness in the market early
in the session brought out some long wheat.
There was no special reason given for the de-
cline, other than the supporting power was
lacking.
Corn-Another quiet day was witnessed in
this market trading being in the main local
and fluctuations confined within zc range. The
feeling prevailing was firm early, but later an
easier tone was manifested, the market closing
firm.
On the regular oats market inactiou was
again the rule. To-day and yesterday were two
of the quietest days in the speculative trade ex-
perienced for along time. Orders were evidently
very limited, since few operators came up on
Trading was moderate in hog products, and
there were no particular changes to note.
The leading futures ranged as IoIIows:
