CHICAGO, May 2l-Trading in wheat was
active and the market more excited at
times. a large local business was done
and also more on outside account. The
weakness at the opening was,due to the dis
coulaging tenor of market reports from
abroad and better prospects in the north
west On the other hand batch OF bad
crop reports from the southwest had the
effect OF converting to the bull side some OF
the most prominent bear traders, who
bought freely There was large trade in
corn, and the feeling was quiet and I'M
! settled. AllIS dGtlNt anu llEA'i. L ~
