Active Trading In Wheat and Prices Open
Higher on Report of Snow In Dnkotn,
hut the Full advance Not Sustained.
cHIcAGo-Trading in wheat was again large
to-day, especially during the early part OF the
day, and prices were higher. July opened 2c
higher, but the advance brought out tree offer
ings under which prices declined irregularly
l2c, then improved Nc. eased of &c, and the
closing was nc higher than yesterday. May
closed 10 lower.
The dry weather scare again had its in
fuence on the market and caused an excited
opening, but advices later in the session re-
ported rains and snow in the Northwest and
had the effect of creating q weaker feeling.
Snow was reported in Cass. Ransom and Barnes
counties Dakota, which 1t is claimed makes
the Northwest all right for the present.
