Omaha Futures.
The wheat market was an extremely ner-
vous affair today, with prices fuctuating
very rapidly and closing with small gains,
although at one time during the session
May wheat was &c above the opening prices
The opinion of some of the trade is that
the price of wheat now depends upon wheth-
err 1t can be shipped abroad. and
| that unless there is heavy decline In
wheat, the corn market will hold Its high
| level.
The trade In futures today was quite
active at times, but generally the trade
was rather quiet.
