modities Lower.
CHICAGo-Wheat-A rather dull and easy
feeling prevailed during most of the session.
Trading was principally among local operators
The opening was weaker and &c below Fridays
closing, declined 1c more, later improved some
and Hsc Of the early decline was recovered again
ruled easy and the closing was about 1910
| lower than Friday. Milder weather induced
rather free selling.
Coma moderate business was done, and the
| feeling prevailing was easier. The market
opened at Fridays closing prices, was steady
| Tor time, very fair inquiry existing for May
and July, but offerings were large, and the
undertone heavy. The market declined nc,
closing 1@1zc lower than Friday.
Oats were fairly active weaker and lower, due
to mild weather, fair receipts, the decline in
| other grains and also to the selling by longs.
Prices receded S@lzc early. The market closed
\ strong at the same as Fridays last sales.
Only light business was done in pork, and
almost exclusively in May. Prices ruled about
SC higher, and closed steady.
Lard was dull, and there were no changes to
note.
There was only fair business in short ribs.
| Prices are little more favorable to sellers.

two days were 1854 cars. and shipments for the

wheat was quite good, considering the weak
ness in futures. Prices averaged a little easier,
but with concessions to meet the altered con-
ditions. millers were good buyers for home use.
As usual on Mondays there were some outside
millers here who bought some. Closing quota
