CHIcAGo-Trading in wheat to-day was more
active at lower prices. The feeling was weak
at the start, first sales showing decline OF 1s@
Zc and later declined &c more, ruled steady
and closed about T@lc lower than yesterday.
The offerings were quite large to-day, and con-
siderable wheat bought yesterday and the Gay
before was sold out, parties not having the
courage to hold on under the present condition
Some of the large floor traders were the neav-
lest sellers. There was some covering OF shors
but confidence seemed wanting, and there was
apparently little buying for more than tenn
porary reaction. The weakness was partially
attributed to the dosing of bank or two IN
New York.
A moderate business was transacted in corn
and the feeling was easier. The temper Of the
local crowd was bearlsh and the selling was
rather more pronounced than tor several days
past. The talk was that it was about time for q
break and then corn would be good purchase
Considerable changing was reported again TO-
day from February to May at the rullng pre-
MUM for the latter month.
There was a good business transacted In oats,
and a steady feeling prevailed with fair range
of prices, but no advance over the OUTSIDE
figures of yesterday was secured. One opera
tor bought freely and took most OF the offer
ings in May and prices fuctuated nc. Feoru-
ary received only moderate attention.
Rather more activity was exhibited In the
market for hog products, but the feellng was
unsettled. and prices were weak during tne
tracted the most attention, though the near de-
liveries met with a little more favor.
