was little prospect of any better market,
with the depressed grain markets keeping
buyers out of this trade, with fine family
and bakers brands holding steady but all
shipping stock was low and dull. Rye
and buckwheat fo1r were called for. Bran
and all millstufs were doing well and
| holding firm. Sales included 400 bags and
275 barrels Minnesota at $3.50.
| In wheat there was moderately active
business, but prices were irregular, lower
and a the close November was about 15c
lower than The close Saturday, December
11sc lower, January 1ac lower, and May
5sc lower. The opening prices were at
decline of about 4c from Saturdays clos
ing, ruled weak under free offerings, and
fell Il C more, then frmed up and recover
ed 58@4c, again weakened 3s@1sc then
| fiuctuated within moderate range and
closed easy on the regular board. On call
the demand was fairly active and the offer
ings rather free and prices easia-. The
sales on call included 725,OO0 bushels,
principally of December and January.
Trading was chiefly Of local character
Advices from abroad quoted quiet marx kets,
and New York reports were without
special change. Receipts were larger and
shipments higher. Outside influences
were not Of a character to cause
much change and the market was
governed mainly by local specula-
ton. Gable advices stated that the farmers
deliveries in the English markets were
heavy and with the large stocks they have
in store and sfoat there is no probability
Of any urgency in their demand just now,
The temptation here to sell On all the
bulges is still great, and bearish influences
generally prevail. Leading trades would
not be surprised to see farther decline.
Vessel charters $4,000 bushels.
Corn was fairly active and somewhat
irregular, being weak and firm by turns,
and at the close October or cash was about
4c lower than it closed On Saturday, No
vember 1sc lower, year about 115c lower
aad May about 1sc lower. Early sales
were at about the closing figures of Satur-
day, ruled weak and fell off 4@3sc more,
then became strong and sold up irregular
ly 1a@58c, then fell 3Sc, changed strong
and sold up irregularly 1a058 then fell
| 35c, changed slightly and closed easy on
'cngnge. On call ths market was moder-
ately active with prices steadier and sales
of 275,00O bushels, chiefly of November
and May. A good demand existed and
! offerings were not large. The receipts
we're only moderate and shipments con-
tinue fair. Market advices from abroad
quoted quiet feeling. Operators, how
ever, were not disposed to sell as freely as
Saturday. The Shipping demand was
fair. Wheeler Gregory's liberal buy
ing of November started prices
on the up grade, and the feeling is firm
this evening. The situation appears strong.
and the opinon prevails that corn is about
as low as can be expected for while.
There is q scarcity OF vessel room, charters
being made to-day for only $4,000 bush
els. Traders are bulli5h, and some con-
frmed bears have turned, which indicates
that tie market is well evened up.
Oats wtrs quiet. Speculative orders
were light, with 10. enough disposition
to t-ade, either On one side or the
other, to materially affect the market,
| but owing to the leading markets being
little off oats were also little easier. Car
lots of No. were quiet and other grades
aominal. In store for the cash, trading
was altogether done by sample. Sample
lots orened steady with fair trade, but
soon weakened and became dull and easier.
The market was dull on call.
Rye was rather dull with the demand
generally limited, but, owing to very IiGl-
tied receipts, prices did not decline much,
though the filling was easy.
In barley the market was in
some respects shade bettsr. No.
was in good request, partially on
shipping and partially on speculative ac
count. The demand was quite equal q
the offerings, and about 10 improvement
in prices was gained. Sample lots of
choice met with good demand, ruling
firm, and sold to little better advantage
than heretofore. Ordinary qualities of No.
were slow. Nos. and sample we're
slow and draggiDg, with no improvement.
In provisions, under the influence of
4SOOlpSo VI hOSo oANA AOrOI PttSC6
thereof, there was little more disposition
manifested among speculative operators
to sell for the more deferred
deliveries, and prices ruled lower
on all the leading descriptions.
The inquiry on shipping account was
moderate and orders generally for small
quotations to supply immediate wants.
Foreign advices showed no material
change in that quarter excepting for lard,
which was quoted Sd higher. Eastern
markets were inclined to quietness, and
prices favored buyers. The receipts of
product were larger and the shipments
Only fair.
There was moderate business trans
acted in the markets for mess pork, but
trading was mainly confined to the more
distant deliveries. The offerings were
rather free and the inquiries fairly active.
Prices ruled weak during the
greater portion Of the session and
| declined 15@ zoe and closed comparative
ly steady at inside figures. The shipping
inquiry was moderate. On call prices
ruled steady, with sales of 5000 barrels
