The wheat market was unsettled and nervous
to-day and was subject 10 frequent and sharp
fluctuations. Uncertainty "a 20 the situation
growing out OF conflicting cables made operators
cautious and resulted In the transaction Of
smaller amount Of business than yesterday. The
net result Of the days trading II loss
Of value OF about lc. in the July option and Of
llHc. in April and May. July, the ruling option,
opened nj S1O9aias1.iOH against 5l.lOata
SIlO1s at the close yesterday AMI soon touched
e1.Og5s. Houses with foreign connections wore
generally sellers, though they gagged their sales
with care 10 avoid n heavy decline. bear syndi-
cate which attempted 10 break prices for them
was brought up with round turn. While the
syndicate did not come TO grief 10 WAS, noyerthe-
less. frightened enough 20 lie still for some time.
After going 20 Sl.09iS July rallied quickly TO
Sll0L, but was loaded with q large lot Of
property, and the home market broke
20 3l.09I6. Purchases by those acting
for foreigners finally frightened the small
scalpers. and In their efforts 10 cover they put
the price up 70 Sl.l02saSl Log Then the
longs resumed thoir unloading tactics and tho
price sagged off 10 sl.lO, where It remained for
some time. At last the bears pluCked up
courage for another raid and their sales broke the
price 10 Sl.O9lb. Toward the close July rallied
90 s1.1O on cables reporting higher Berlin mar
kets and on q dispatch saying R0umania would
prohibit exports Of maize because OF depleted
stocks there. just before the close there was
another break and the market closed easy at
sl.0gasaS .O91S. The London closing market
WAS Gd.als.3d. per quartcr lower on wheat.
Paris was 2Oa15 centmes higher on flour
aud 80 confines higher on deferred futures Of
wheat. Near futures were 10 confines lower.
Paris reported cold weather I'm France, but the
weather IN this country vas fine, and adyices
from ST. Louis said thRt wheat was already hcad-
ing in the Indian Territory. A successful raid in
corn was started. July was broken from 67Ac.
down 10 06iSc., but was turned up to &c. on
liberal purchases. There was free selling OF long
oats which caused a break OF &a76c. Prices
hardened little later In tho day, but were IA
Sc lower at the close. The opening in the pro-
vision market was rather firm on the reported
frmness Of hogs at the stOck-yards, but speedily
weakened, and, after huCtuating frequently
within a moderate range, closed with n loss OF
l5a17Isc for pork, 213a5c for lard, and 21sc. for
ribs.
