CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-On 'change to-day
the general markets were quiet and easier,
due mainly to an increase in receipts.
Provisions broke off sharply. closing at
considerable decline from Saturdays
prices. The depreciation in grains was
not so marked, Wheat was dull To-. ....v
Irau.Is was Cd a ,asner limited scale, and
the Market Curing most of the season
ruled 4aiet. Prices ruled lower, but the
feeling was steady at the prices current.
The receipts of wheat we're moderate. and
foreign market advices quoted no special
change. The fluctuations of prices were
confined within range of about |
3sc, and closed about &c lower
than closing figures Saturday, for month |
and May, and &c lower for December and
January. In the afternoon this cereal was
in fair demand, with prices steady and the
feeling trifle stronger. Winter and spring
suffered more to-day than regular wheat.
The former ruled weak. There was but
little demand, either on shipping or spec
ulative account, and the feeling was easier,
prices ruling 1a@1c lower. At the decline
a moderate business was transacted, but
there was lack of competition for the Of
ferings. Spring was in moderate demand
at decline of 1s@alc per bushel. The
receipts were moderate.
Flour ruled steady and unchanged, but
duller than usual and sales lighter. There
was some little export demand for choice
spring and winter flour, and low grades in
desirable shipping order. Local jobbers
were doing hardly anything.
Corn. as for some time past, waslthe CEN
ter of what attraction was manifested
There was very fair business transacted
IN this market on speculative and shipping
account. The feeling was little unsettled
and prices averaged lower, due to fair of
ferings for future delivery, Influenced by
larger receipts and the improve
ment IN the weather, which was
clear. The market opened about re
@5sc sower, excepting for next years de-
livery, which only ruled a shade easier
then ruled stronger, and advanced PC fol
this years futures, 1c for January, and 3st
for May delivery, became weaker, declin.
! ing Kobe, and finally closed 1sc lowe,
D for November, &c lower for seller the
yeer, asc higher for January, and 7sc high
er for May than the closing figures on
change Saturday. No. was in fair de-
mand. The market continued unchanged
, during the afternoon. Increased receipts
and the weather exerted an easier influence
+ on the oats market, and prices
e we're 4@Hc lower on the board
d. and suffered further decline
of lc during the afternoon. The future.
II deprecated trifle more than cash delivery
4 There was good trade for barley in the
81 sample lots, which went steady. The en-
s. tire market, however, was neglected anG
lifeless, both for cash and futures, anG
prices were nominal and unchanged. Rye
was quiet and dull. There was light
cash trade, but futures were hardly men
toned.
, The offerings Of hog products were quite
few, and the demand fairly active. In g
general way the market was weak during
the greater portion of the session. and
lower prices accepted, but fluctuations
, we're confined within a moderate range
Shipping demand fair. Foreign advices
? exhibited no particular change, and the
Eastern markets are steady at slightly re-
duced prices. The receipts of products
were moderate, and the shipments quite
liberal. The demand for pork was fairly
active and the offerings were few. Prices
ruled weak and declined 3O@4Oc for No
vsmber and 1O@121z on the more defer
steady. Cash offered to fair extent and
dull. In the afternoon the tendency was
, still downward, although the demand was
good. The offerings of lard were liberal, and
the demand not particularly urgent. Con-
3 sequently prices ruled weak 5@1Oc easie,
2 and closed rather tame.
Late in the day little more activity
: was manifested, and prices comparatively
I steady. Some $1,000 hogs arrived to-day
5 selling early at slightly advanced prices
: but weakened later and declined sc below
1 Saturdays figures.
4 CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-The board of trade
2 to-day appointed committee to recon-
mend course of action relating to cor
:. ners. It is admitted the rule recently
. passed, and under which the settling price
for July and September wheat was fixed
is failure. In one instance the action OF
the committee was appealed from by the
'bears'' to the courts as too high, and in
the other the bulls are disguised, as the
l finding was too low. 1t is believed the
Q rule will be abolished.
