and July Higher - Corn Follows
Suit-Pork and Lard Coming

SuN-TOFA Laru OoHluk
to tho Front.
CHIcAGo-Trading in wheat was active to-
day. and a strong feeling was developed. The
market was governed wholly by local infiu-
ences, there being a holiday in Europe. A 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
Nc higher for May and &c for July.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Observation-Disclosures of wheat for the
past two days were A6 cars: shipments same
time, 70 cars. There was fair early demand
from local milers for good milling wheat, but
it was limited and soon filled, after which the
market dragged along rather slowly until the
close. Low grades were dull, and hard TO
move. There was not much demand from out
side points. except little inquiry for hard
West on original waybill. with but little Of
fered. Closing Quotations: No. hard, April.
