unfavorable, quoting a dull and easier
feeling. On calls corn was steady with
sales largely of the year option. Gregory
and Hutchinson were pretty large sellers.
The latter is dumping some of his May
holdings.
Oats were quiet and trading for the day
particularly light, with the cash arrivals
going to the sample market and selling
readily, but the speculative market was
neglected, and few were disposed to oper
ate in either directicu. Prices were hold
ing firm. On call the marketiwas quiet
with small transactions in May.
In rye there was just about enough
speculative demand to take what cash of
ferirgs there were and the market ruled
steady. Futures were neglected and there
was no interest in the market. Sales of
November on call were made at steady
rates.
Barley was steady and firm. No. 2
was about 15c higher, being in fair de-
mand, mainly on speculative account
Offerings were lighter and receipts small.
Grades which were sold exclusively by sam
pie were also steady. They were not much
changed IN prices, but owing to reduced
receipts the offerings were smaller and
consignments sold moderately well, yet
they could not all be closed out.
Flour was still very quiet, and trading
70. the day was light, with the quantity on
haad not at all large, but there we're few
buyiug orders on home or shipping &C
nd ha
was quiet and slow. Buckwhest -four was
slow for good Wisconsin. Bran and all
mllsEuffs were doing well and holding
firm.
Provisions were quiet and prices steady
and without especial change from yester-
Gay. Receipts of hogs were liberal and
prices lower. Grain was higher, but had
little or no effect on provisions. Pork was
very dali throughout, and prices were very
steady, fluctuations being confined within
g narrow range. The demand was light
and offerings moderate. Cash was dull.
On call prices we're dull, with trade in Jan
uary. In lard light business was trans
acted, which, however, ruled steady, the
day decline being limited to 2I@5c.
The deferred futures again re-
ceived the principal attention and
led on the little trading witnessed.
Prices remained unchanged On call. Short
rib sides were slower than on any of the
former days in the week. In the future
trading November, January and February
received some attention, but were in no
wise active. Fluctuations were limited
and prices averaged a shade easier.
A petition was circulated on the board
Of trade requesting the directors to pre-
sen q rule requiring an assessment of S.
per member in the case of the death of
member, thereby creating a life insurance
of $4,000.
The way in which the dollars have sunk out
of sight, one by one, from the quotations
for hog product since the middle of June

The wheat grown in the far northwest is
not so much sought after by purchasers as
the holders expected a few weeks ago.
There is no doubt that it would have been
regarded as very valuable under ordinary
conditions, but with the present glut of
wdeat in both hemispheres the product of
that region is hard to sell. It is reported
that Chicago house has bought rather a
large quantity at about CSC, there
which can be laid down in
Chicago at little over $50
per bushel. New York is said to have
paid this week a premium for Milwaukee
No. ? wheat as compared with Chicago.
If this be true the wheat holders of that
city are trading upon reputation ac-
quired in the Auld Lang Syne. Should
anyone here take umbrage at the fact he
may be consoled by the information that
several cal loads of wheat have been sent
from Chicago within few days past to
points in Ohio which might naturally be
supposed to want to draw from Toledo.
