Especial Telegram to the Giobe.l
CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-To-day has been an
uneventful one in the grain and provision
markets. Wheat essed of materially.
Corn stiffened and regained some of its
loss of yesterday. Provisions showed con-
siderably more frmness, but on call weak
ened and lost most of their advance. Reg
ular wheat was only moderately active,
bui ruled easy. Early in the session prices
were somewhat stronger, selling up about
No over the closing figures at o'clock
yesterday, but later became weak and fell
irregularly about 24c from the highest
point, then ductlated within maderate
range and closed 10 lower than yesterday.
November 20 lower, December 20
lower, and year 1zc lower. On the
call prices were shaded further
fraction. Fair receipts caused spring
wheat to weaken and winter to sympa-
thize.
In flour to-day, except that there was
little more doing, the market was without
change, there being very little stock to
work from, and trading is restricted in con-
sequence. The home trade were looking
/ at samples and bidding full previous
prices for the finest family and bakers
brands, and shipping and export orders
are good, but few lots are going in this
direction. The lower grades stock was
bringing relative prices. Bye -four was
slow. Bran and all millstufs were bring
ing higher prices. Corn recovered some
what from tho decline of yesterday, but
outside prices were not sustained. A Aery
fair speculative business was transacted,
but trading chiefly on local account, out
side orders being less numerous. The
shipping demand was fair. The receipts
continue quite free, and shipments fair.
Market advances from other points were
indicative of an easier feeling. The mar
ket opened strong and about 1c higher, and
advanced an additional ss@Hc, then be-
came weaker and under free speculative
offerings, declined S@14c for the various
futures, and finally closed at about the
same as yesterday for October, nc higher
November, 10 higher for year, and
H@1c higher for January and May
than closing figures on change
yesterday. No. was in good request. In
the afternoon the demand was good and
prices ruled shade frmer. For oats the
cash offerings were little larger, and al
though fair demand existed, the market
was weaker. No. is wanted mainly in
elevators conveniently located for loading
in vessel, and such houses bought at S5c,
while in outside locations only 341Sc could
be obtained. Other grades nearly nomi-
nal, they being offered mostly by sample.
Barley was quite buoyant and cent
higher. Bye was dull and easier.
Considerable strength was developed in
the market for hog products during the
early part OF the season, and
prices ruled materially higher. But the
offerings onspeoulative account werelarge-
~ increased during the middle Of the day,
and the improvement was lost. Shipping
demand was moderate. The receipts were
moderate and shipments quite large, espe-
cially lard. Foreign advices were easy and
ard quoted Sd lower. Eastern markets
steadier. There was a liberal business
transacted on speculative account, and
while prices were quite irregular
the average was some high
or than on yesterday. Packers
were buying freely and at better prices.
Receipts of hogs are fair. The demand
for mess pork was active early, and prices
advanced 420@4oc in the whole range. but
a weaker feeling was manifested later, and
the greater portion of the advance was
lost. Cash quiet. October sold sparingly.
November in good request, sold freely and
closed stead y, December quiet with light
sales. The inquiry for lard was quite &C.
tive. and prices we're advanced 15@25c per
100 pounds, but settled back again 10@ $50
lower, and closed steady. The November
future showed the most strength in the af-
ternoon. Both pork and lard, although
in fair demand, were offered freely
and sold lower. It is found very hard to
bull hog products in the face Of the crop
prospects. The weather during the week
has been cool and fair, with considerable
frost and favorable for drying cut corn.
In fact the corn fields az a rule have had
favorable conditions almost uninterrupted
~ since the LIST Of August, and the hus6ng
will not be disappointing in the yield.
The receipts of hogs in Chicago in the past
few weeks fall only 5000 under the CORES
ponding week last year, while the ship
ments haye been as much smaller, 30 that
the supply for packers was fully equal to
last year. The total packing at all
points for the weeks has been about 49,,
| 600 to 10000 hogs, and since March ii
reachesabout 3, 200, 900 against last years
total of 4,sO3,O 900 for the eight summer
months. Hogs are low selling at 65@70c
per hundred pounds higher than a year
ago; mess pork for January delivery, S5c
per hundred pounds higher; lard 300 per
hundred pounds higher, and short rib sides
for November $265 higher than last year
