cHIcAGO-The volume of business in wheat
was rather smaller to-day and more of local
character. A fair number of outside orGers
were received, but less than for some days past
which, however, can be accounted for by the
rather steadier condition of the market and the
fact of prices remaining within about the sale
range for several days.
The market opened rather strong and prices
! H@5sc higher. The firmness was assisted some
by the colder weather, but the speculative
offerings were quite large, under which the
market weakened and prices declined A9lc.

firm most of the session.
Corn received considerable attention, the
market ruling fairly active at lower range Of
prices. The feeling developed was weaker,
there being but little support to the market
and offerings were considerably increased. I he
easier tone attributed some to the fine
weather and decline in wheat. but the reaction
was due as much as anything to the fact that
May shorts Lave been pretty well covered of

Oats were active, stronger and sold at higher
prices early in the session. but later weakness

bushels July. The last named month was the
weakest on the list, despite the large buying.
