CHICAGO Nov. 3.-Again has corn sur
prsed the market. 1t was generally ex-
pected that there would be decline to-day
in the whole list, owing to the favorable

in stocks. 1t is further expected that those
who had Pocketed their winnings on the up
turn would rest over day or two. 1t was
also felt that some parties who had been on
the ''bulP side were very much inclined to
change positions. Corn opened weak, and
Lindblom added to the weakness by selling
some large blocks for a New York party who
has held a large amount. Schwartz u

they closed on Saturday. On the cali the
trades footed up over a million bushels, near
ly three-fourths of which were May at $40
$50. There was a large amount of covering
by the Shorts during the day, and the ad-
vance in corn, while solely due to the specu-
lators was probably induced by
private reports of heavy storm which was
reported as raging in the East Operators
are now turning their attention to the May
option, as many think that the combination
before referred to, viz, Schwartz 4 Dupee,
John Lester, Clews & Co. and Jack Sturgis,
has too large an amount OF December and
January corn to be bucked against success
fully.
Wheat continues slumpy ana wholly at the
mercy of the corn and provision pits. Specu-
lations about a large increase in the visible
supply also had weakening effect tonight
Wheat closed on the curb at about these fig
ures: December, $3.50; January, 9725c; Feb
ruSry, 99Nc May, $1.04Y,
There seemed to be almost a concerted
action on the part of the big packers this
morning, as they were nearly all present at
the commencement of business in the atti-
tude of sellers, and Mr.. Hutchinson sold
Charles Singer 10000 barrels of pork in a
block, and the old veteran was free seller
all day. Singer & Jones and Peter McGeoch
were the leading buyers and bulls all
through, while on the Armour side the
Kent-Allerton Packing Company and Fow-
Ter Bros. were the leading sellers. Despite
the strength of the bears, February pork
closed strong al $1357H lard at So. 47A and
short ribs at $6771S.
