CHICAGO Wheat Trading was rather
| light to-day and fluctuations OF prices
confined within narrow limits. Business was
| interfered with by the severe storm, the wires
being down. The storm of snow, Wlnd ano
| sleet in Illinois Kansas and Missouri was not
considered favorable for the crop; in fact, the
| weather pretty much all over the winter wneal
| district was rather unfavorable.
The opening was the same & as YESTERDAY adsSn
| ing to outside figures again. declined and
| closed about sc lower for May and &c lower
| for July than closing figures yesterday:
Corn was inactive tine greater part OF the ses-
sion and devoid OF any important features
| The market opened rather firm at yesterdays
| closing prices, but persistent offerings Oh May
| by large local trader had depressing enect,
| and final quotations were about the same as
| yesterday.
Oats we're moderately active and prices aver
aged higher, but the extreme outside figures
/ were not maintained until the close.
| Hog Products-Outslde Of a moderate trade
in mess pork and ribs the market attracted very
| little attention.
