CHICAGO-Trade in wheat was good to-day,
but the volume Of business was not as large as
during the preceding days. The feeling was
again unsettled and opera ators were little
uneasy and undecided as to which course to
pursue. Fluctuations were confined within q
small range. A batch OF bull news was received
from various quarters which started an upward
turn in prices early in the day, advancing In all
&c for May and &c for July, with June follow
ing the May future. Later, however. there
appeared to be renewed pressure to sell and
prices declined lc for May and nc for July,
recovered and closed Nc higher fer May and
&c higher for July than closing yesterday.
There seemed to be more or less difference OF
opinion as tn the designs Of q certain prominent
trader, some believing that he is endeavoring to
unload while others think be may be trying to
create a larger short interest
Corn was traded in to fair extent the mar
ket ruling fairly active the greater part of the
session. The feeling early was firm but later
an easier tone was manifest There was no new
or important outside news, and fluctuations
were governed to great extent by local in

weaker, declining sc, ruled hrmer and closed
atShaQe lower than yesterday.

a moderate decrease from the past few days A
firmer feeling existed early in the day and
opening sales were at IGAc advance and
showed a further slight appreciation. This
brought out considerable realizing and recess
sion of 4G5sc followed, and the market closed
easy at about the same prices as on yesterday
for June and July but the strong buying for
May produced rally Of ssc and closed at a gain
of sc.
Only fair trade was reported in pork and
the feeling was unste idy. Prices huctuated
considerably within moderate range. Early
sales were made at lea I5c decline but this re-
duction was quickly covered. Later a weaker
feeling was developed and prices declined l5@
Zoe, but rallied again and closed rather quiet at
medium figures.

ruled irregular within small range. Prices
were advanced sc. Later the inquiry slackened
