As this WAS the last business day Of tho month,
and as traders were not inclined TO extend their
lines OF open accounts 20 be carried over III
Tuesday, the days business was largely IN the
nature Of a big "scalp." In addition 10 thls
state Of affairs, the representatives CT New York
houses and some local dealers provided them
selves with "caIls" In wheat last night
at sl.0ilS TO tl.02, and set on, At tho open-
ing this morning TO hoist the market
90 the "cau" price. The stampede OF small
shorts which they started carried July NOM
s100ls at the start mp 10 s1O1l4. From sl.01
up the sales were greater than the demand from
frightened shorts could absorb. The result was
that the attempt 10 got the market 10 the call
limit was failure. The heavyweight bears
soon saw through the game, and thereafter %
the close sold freely whenever the market
rallied. july sold OF 90 sl.OOl, then
rallied 20 s1.O0al, broke 097sc., and sftor
few feeble rallies To sL00A OF there
abouis hung very close 20 81. The news
sent In early WAS calculated 20 advance prices,
but its effect was soon Lost. Near the close the
arithmeticlans figured out that there would be u
large decrease in the visible supply, and this
sent the price up 10 si.00L,. The trade In corn
Was largely local, and, a. In wheat, there was
tendency toward evening up trades. The conse-
quence was n dun market during most OF tho
session, with narrow fluctuations July opened
at 54I4a54t4c., sold up 60 5jlsc. on buying by
shorts, reacted 20 54ssc. with the break In wheat,
rallied 10 55G and closed n shade under that.
Oats, like corn, were duh and featureiess, with
fluctuations confined 10 a range OF lac. Proyt-
sions were dull but firm. The fluctuations Ina
pork covered a range Of l7J4c., closing l0ai2ttc.
higher than yesterday Lard closed 90. aud ribs
5a7I5c. higher. There will be no session Of tho
board tomorrow or Monday.
