CHICAGO. Jan. Gin wheat moderate bust
ness was transacted and early trading did not
have any special significance. Many operators
were rather bullishly inclined at the start, but
there was enough wheat for sale, and, under
free offerings, the market gave way from early
prices. prominent trader was reported as
being seller at top prices, and this induced other
following. and with each decline offerings were
heavier. Some long wheat came out on the
decline, and not until about noon did the market
take any decided course. The opening was 1Ac
higher than Saf1rdaV'S closing advanced
| &c more, then became easier and gradually
eased off 14c and later cropped off sc rather
quickly. No special reason was assigned for
the weakness other than that operators were
tlmid about buying and the pressure to sell was
greater than the demand. At the decline the
| market held for some little time, then ruled
Steadier, recovered slightly, and the closing was
| sc lower than Saturday. Corn was fairly &C
| tive and easier transactions being at a lower
| range. The market opened at about the closing
of Saturday, was weak, sold off SIC AMI ruled
quiet and easy, and closed 1s@ssc lower than
saturday. prominent local trader sold Janu-
airy, and brokers supposed to be acting for
| private elevator sold May. Oats we're moGer
ately active early, but later dullnesS prevailed.
A weaker feeling developed aud prices for May,
in which most of the interest conferred, ranged
| lower. There was free miscellaneous selling
and good buying by one large operator, whose
purchases aggregated 100000 bushels. Pork
was moderately active and quiet. Prices ru ed
2 a05c lower and the market closed quiet at
about inside figures. Very little interest was
manifested in lard. Prices were about Fac
! lower. A cry small business was reported in
short ribs, the feeling being easy. Prices ruled
| rather easy, with no particular changes.
