THE CHICAGO GAME.
The Excitement on the Board of T ade
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Bulge in Prices.

The Excitement on the Board of ade
Yesterday--AfternoonB Bulge in Prices.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The wheat market was
decidedly weak this morning and sold down on
the curbstone previous to the opening of the
board. As the morning wore on lower reports
came in from Liverpool and New York, and
when the regular board met the operators in the
pit fairly went wild. The local operators were
aided and in tensified in their excitement by
the manipulation of the New York clique and
the New York market closed a
cent below the lowest quotation of
Yesterday. Our market closed weak.
but during the afternoon the curbstone deal
took it's usual Saturday afternoon bulge, and
on the report of higher cables it went sharply
to $1.2O for November, and $l.22 for Deem
Der. There is but little dependence to be
placed on these midnight cables, which crowd
up the market late in the afternoon. but on
the curb in Exchange Alley they count hugely.
There was weakness visible in the corn
corner, and October sold a quarter of a cent
below the November option. The trading,
however, was very moderate.
In provisions there was another excitement
and large advance, but it had no legitimate
basis and was the work of local manipulators
purely. The outside prices of the day for
pork, $40. 60 for November and $11.15 for jan
uary, were firmly maintained at the close.
What the market on grain and provisions
will be on Monday depends largely upon
whether the bulls or the bears obtain the most
wind over Sunday.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 25.-The Sentinel this morn
