soon checked and the tide turned the other
way. Corn commenced 10 climb up rap
idly, and shorts made a rush 10 cover their
deals. Several local operators of proni
nence, notably the Adamses and Schwartz
& DIpoe, bought heayilg, and The tone
from that time 10 ths cio5a " Is strong and
buoyant. AltnDlsr tls evening i warm

Wheat, which started dom grade at the
opening, Improved and closes Nbopt as
yesterday. Buying By LISTER q Gaylord
was the main support Of the market aside
from the strength it gained from sympa-
thy with corn. Provisions have been less
active to-day but firmer. At ia little afterIthe
opening Singer took all the January pork
that prominent bear would sell, $4,000
barrels, and the purchase turned prices
upward Hutchinson has sold October
and January lard, but New York was a
buyer and October closed zoe above the
lowest price of the day. Hogs are in good
supply and $4,000 are expected tomorrow,
yet the sentiment is in favor of better
prices.
During the session of the regular board
corn was active, somewhat unsettled, but
generally firm, fuctuating &c on October
and 1920 higher than it closed yester-
day; October 1c higher; November 24c
higher; year 20 higher, and May 1c high
or. The market opened weak, with pleas
ant aud warm weather and liberal num-
Der of selling orders, and during the first
half hour prices fell 20, but at this point
buying orders began to arrive, and there
were numerous dispatches claiming the
damage from the late frost was fully as
great if not greater than indicated by the
first reports. This, taken in connection
with the rather uufavorable show
ing of the agricultural report,
gave the market sharp upward
turn, shorts and spectators both
buying freely. October sold
up 125c from the lowest point, November
178c, year I15c, and May &c, then reacted
some and closed toierabiy steady. On the
call board there was another rush to buy,
which, with bull manipulation, advanced
prices 19@lc higher. a sale of Septem-
Der was made at 53c and the close was at
527gc. On the curb late IN the day there
was considerable settling back, ana some
of this last advance was lost. The call
sales aggregated 1330,OO0 bushels. The
receipts to day amounted to ga 900 bush
els, while shipments were $4,000 bushels
and As, 200 bushels are chartered.
In wheat a fair speculative business was
transacted, and the feeling was somewhat
unsettled. The receipts were smaller both
of spring and wiater wheat. Foreign ad-
vices quoted dull, slow markets, but New
York was firm. The shipping demand was
onlymoderate, and for winter wheatshippers
further reduced their bids from yesterdays
prices. The speculative market opened
easy 38@bo lower, and soon receded Lc
more, then rallied under a good demand
about q c, again eased off about 10, fuc-
tuated, and finally closed 4@4c lower
than on change yesterday. On call ar
active demand caused values to stiffeu
A@3ac, and the close is at about yester
days final quotations. The volume o.
business on call shows a marked improve
ment, 100000 bushels changing hands
over million bushels being for Novembe
delivery. The charters to-day were 120,
900 bushels.
Oats were firm. The speculative market
for futures opened about &c easier. Tht
advance in corn had favorable influence
and there was IS @ &c improvement. Th'
market remained steady, but late in the
season ruled quiet. Car lots of No. wer,
38c higher, selling at 27c and being mainl,
~ taken to make up round lots for contracts
No No. white of account was offered ex
cept by sample. For sample lots a good
local and shipping demand existed, ant
sellers were enabled to effect slight i'm
provement in prices. Prices were a shad
higher on call, and the feeling was firm
and steady.
Rye was frmer in tone. Cash was ur
changed in price, but futures ranged 6
shade over yesterday. Cash was in tn
usual supply, but the speculative offering
were smaller. The advance in corn aidet
in frming this market.
The in store market for barley was
quite firm for No. 2, small quantity Q
cash sold at 6Oc and futures were sal
able at former figures. There was, how
ever, no demand for lower grades in store
and these had to be sold altogether b,
sample. No. by sample was moderat
sale when bright and heavy, but staine'
and light barley was dull. No. and al
low grades on the sample market were 81
ceedingly dull. 1t was, in fact, almos

Only moderate business was trans
acted in the market for hog products
The offerings in general way we're no
so free and the inquiry was fairly active
An unsettled feeling prevailed during
the greater portion of the da
and prices ruled with con
siderable uncertainty. The receipts of hog
continued liberal and of good quality, q i

Foreign advices were less favorable t
