OalCAGO, NOV. Zf.-CI .cnanSo To-Day
corn was weaker and lower, wheat frmer
and higher, and provisions held their own,
and in the cash markets did better than
this. There was little more doing in the
wheat market. Some outside orders were
received and local operators also manifest
ed little moro desire to trade. The feel
ing was little unsettled, though fuctua-
tions were confined within range of 10
&c. Early in the day the feeling was
strong, and prices were advanced about
1ac, but later, under large offerings, the
market ruled weaker, and prices declined
3s@1a and closed about &c better than
the closing figures on change yesterday.
Later in the day better feeling existed,
and prices closed about at the outside of
the day. Winter was in good demand only
among buyers, there being considerable
competition for time, but No. 3 weaken
ed later and lost most of its advance.
Spring was in fair demand on speculative
account and tolerably steady.
Flour shows little change, and that in
favor Of the buyer, there being some dis
! position among sellers to shade, prices a
trihe to encourage trading, which is more
than usually light. Offerings, however,
| are not large.
Germ is the market which absorbs most
| attention, 1t is nervous and feverish, and
| operators are afraid to buy and sell largely.
| In the face of the unusual occurrence OF
cash corn selling in New York city above
the price of cash wheat, that market here
to-day eased of considerably, a break &C.
curing in the middle of the day, brought
about by'a rumor that the Gotham market
was very shaky. Still it is none the less a
| fact that little if any No. 2 corn can be
| purchased here for shipment to New York
to relieve the cornered shorts. It is appar-
ent that the condition of affairs in New York
will have little effect on the market here,
although the same parties that cornered
the November corn future in New York
have also been steadily buying cash corn
in Chicago. The parties mainly interested
| are said to be J. 3. Lyon and David Bows
| & Co. The corner steerers put the Novem-
| Der corn up to S1.1O bushel in New York
yesterday, and closed at $1.O7, but little
| below the price of wheat. They also held
the price firm at top figures here for cash
| corn.
There is but little trading in grain now
| except from local scalping sources, or
from receivers and shippers, Outsiders
are not trading in corn at all, as they
| cannot determine anything about the
course OF tine market. Everything should
point to lower prices f6r futures and higher
for cash, but those who deal on this idea
are getting badly left.
| On the board to-day trading was fairly
active on speculative and shipping ac-
count, and the feeling was weaker, prices
ruling lower all round more particularlyfor
this years futures, while January and May
ruled comparatively steady. The receipts
were fair and the weather was clear and
colder, and the latter was the principal
reason for the weakness developed,
| operators anticipate larger move
ment and higher inspection on the
new corn, on account of the colder weather
and this influenced larger speculative Of
| ferings. The market opened .about Is C
below closing figures on the call board
yesterday afternoon, ruled weak, reacted a
rrife again, and then declined to point
| PIC lower for November and &c lower
| for year than the highest figures reached
yesterday, fuctuated and finally closed
about sc lower for November and &c
lower for year than the closing figures on
change yesterday. January closed 15c
lower, May &c lower than closing figures
yesterday. No. 3 corn was in good de-
I! mand.
In the afternoon, together with the other
| products dealt in, corn started up
again, being in good request and selling
on call readily at prices 7a@4c higher
than en- the regular board, and closing
frmer and more steady.
! There was fair demand for cash oats,
both in store and by sample. The arrivals
| were light, offerings in consequence quite
| small, and prices ruled firm. November
| also ruled quite firm, but otherwise the
| speculative market was somewhat unset
| tied little easier than yesterdays closing
range of yesterday. The inquiry in the
latter hours of the day was moderate and
prices steady.
Rye was firmly held and offerings
| were light. Barley was fr1ner and
| about &c higher. The arrivals were
small, and little Of this grain was offered
| By holders, although the demand was quite
| fair.
The feeling in the provisions market
| was quite uncertain and changeable to-day.
| A good demand prevailed for hog products,
and the offerings were quite free. The
receipts CT hogs were moderate, and prices
higher, which tended to strengthen the
market for product early in the day, but
| weaker feeling was manifested during the
| latter part of the session, but no material
decline in prices was established. Shipping
| demand more active, and increased sales
! were reported. The receipts of pro-
ducts were moderate, and the shipments
of all kinds quite liberal. Foreign ad-
| vices were less favorable to holders, and
prices of bacon were reduced materially.
Eastern markets were without change.
The offerings of mess pork were quite
free and the demand fairly active. Prices
