Daily globe., 1883-09-11

nervous and fighty, and there
were fluctuations of an unusually
important character. As compared with
Saturdays closing quotations prices
ranged 1@112c higher for near futures,
and 21lc higher for May. The market
broke and then reacted, and was withal
very unsettled. Cash No. 2 sold on spec
ulative account, and ruled 1s@Ac higher.
Shipping orders were fair but sample lots
were held higher and shippers were 10th to
pay the advance, and trade was rather
slow at some little improvement.
Rye was more active and stronger.
Prices were ruling high, with free buying
orders, bringing about an advance of &c
for cash, while the longer futures were Il
@15c better.
For No. 2 barley in store there was fair
demand. All deliveries were salable and
previous prices obtainable. Cash sold at
6Oc. Sample No. 2 was als1Au fair de-
mand and steady at about 6Oc9end few
cars of Scotch barley sold for a shade
more. There was a scattering demand
which took the best grades, but common
was very dull.
Under the influence of light receipts of
hogs and higher prices therefor, and more
strength in the grain markets, the market
for hog products opened stronger and
ruled with considerable steadiness during
the early part of the session, more par
ticularly on the deferred futures. Foreign
advices indicated little change in that
market. Lard was quoted Sd lower and
the eastern markets were stronger in a
general way with prices favoring sellers.
During the middle of the session a weak
feeling prevailed and prices were reduced
materially. The receipts of product were
comparatively light, and the shipments of
all quite large, more particularly for east
ern and foreign markets.
4 good business was reported in the
market for mess pork, bat the feeling was
somewhat unsettled and prices irregular.
The offerings were quite liberal and the
demand active, particularly for the
larger deliveries. The market
opened stronger and 2O@2219c higher,
and further improved 21S@5c, but toward
the middle of the session receded again 10
@1215c. Toward the close the market was
steadier and prices rallied 15@20c and
closed rather quiet. The shipping demand
was fair in the way of filling small orders.
The inquiry for lard was quite brisk and
the offerings were moderately large. The
selling was quite strong during the greater
portion of the day, though prices ruled
with considerable irregularity. The
market opened rather firm at 10@1215c
advance per 100 pounds and further i'm
proved 5@1Oc. This appreciation was lost
during the middle of the session, but
toward the close rallied 15@20c per 100
pounds, and ruled with considerable stead
mess. The shipping demand was moder-
ately active.
On the call wheat was 1594c lower
generally; oats quiet and steady; pork ,
trife easier; lard steadier and in active
demand, while corn was 15c higher for the
September and October options and &c
higher for the more deferred deliveries.
