CHICAGO May 23-The wheat market to-
day began and ended firm with about equal
disposition OF SlLtllBtu anu W SeAtAiAS9''. "A
could not be said any materially interest
ing transpired during the session. July
wheat opened from 60a4 TO 6O9sc, sold be-
tween, 603s and 6i06lHc, closing at Gle Dld
Sc higher than Yesterday. Inc cash mar
ket was quiet
Corn-Sbeculative interest in corn con-
tinued lifeess. About the only trading
that took place was selling against the
early buying against puts; later the course
of prices rendering such action possible.
OF course the governing influences came
from the neighboring wheat pit with the
exception that the final bulge in wheat was
not responded. This was due rather to the
disinclination of trade, rather than to lack
of sympathy. July corn opened at 29Ac,
sold between 2914Q293s and 29c, closing at
EQlsc bd-sMI4c under yesterday. Cash
corn was weak and about kc per busheI
lower
Oats failed TO exhibit anything startling
or worthy of especial mention in their
trade. Quiet, with occasional moderately
active movements describes the general
character of the market. The direction of
prices and the feeling displayed were reg
ulated by the action of wheat, save at the
Spouse TO one on the leading market July
oats closed shade under yesterday. cash
oats were easy and a fraction lower
Professionalism the average product
was steady. Pork was the leading deal,
professionals expressing confidence in low
or prices for that commodity and devoting
themselves TO the task Of bringing about
"a decline i'm 1t. Lard and ribs are so near
the low record Of prices that some doubt
as TO the wisdom of attempting TO depress
them further Is felt. Some strength in the
hog market assisted provisions early, and
at the close on covering of shorts, there
was rally. July pork closed 732dl0c high
er than yesterday; July lard and ribs each
5u1lac higher
Leading futures ranged as follows:
