On Change.
CHICAGo, Sept 23.-There was a con-
tinued upward movement of prices on
Change to-day, wheat making mostde-
clded advance, November selling as
high as $1084 during the evening, clos
ing strong at a shade less than the best
prices. Although prices have advanced
daily for two weeks with no retrograde
movement of consequence, the result
has been disasteTous only in three cases
on Change until to-day, when several
small operators suspended, but the whole
amount of their liabilities will hardly be
| $4,000. Provisions are also strong,
with decided buoyant feeling, most
marked in pork and short ribs. Far
mers appear to be holding back their
supplies for better prices.
