Wheat market ease and mixed tone in Chicago options
The Chicago option market opened firmer but failed to sustain gains as local selling rose after an early advance. Foreign markets were higher early, but receipts exceeded estimates by about 80 cars, and both domestic and export demand stayed quiet. Nearby futures weakened with small rallies fading, while New York showed weakness on near options and expectations of large export sales. Corn remained steady amid heavy receipts, weather favorable for new crop, and steady demand. Provisions quieted but pork and lard held firmer while ribs declined. Hogs were in lighter supply locally but ample at country points. Farnwn Reardon & Co quoted the market standings.
