lower. Flour continues slow and the feel
ing in the trade was one of dullness, light
offerings helping to firm tone, but q de-
pressed wheat market and holding back
on the part of the usual buyers gave
light business for the day. The best
Minnesotas from old wheat were sought
after and we're quite firm, but all shipping
stock was scarce and it was difficult to do
anything. Rye -four was slow. Bran and
all mill stuffs were sought after and at
firm prices. Winter was quiet and lower.
In wheat there was fairly active bus
mess. but at decidedly lower prices, Octo-
Der closing about 116c lower than at 1
o'clock yesterday, November about 115c
and December about 11ssc lower The in
fluences were almost entirely of a local
character, the disposition among local op-
orators being bearish, and there were very
free offerings which, with fair weather and
liberal receipts, caused steady decline of
about 1c for the opening and 24c from the
highest point touched yesterday, the mar
ket closing weaksson the regular board. On
call there was asgood request and prices
were bettered 14e. Sales included $4,000
bushels November, 295,000 December,
5000 May. Foreign advices quoted wheat
firm, but New York and other home mar
kets were weaker, and there
was an entire absence Of
shipping demand offerings were very lib
erel early. but in the call Hutchinson and
other bears covered freely, causing a
slight advance. The local crowd here are
pretty largely short,
Corn was moderately active, but weak
and lower, influenced by sympathy with
the weak feeling in wheat and liberal re-
ceipts, and at the close October was 1c
lower than at 1 o'clock yesterday, Novem-
Der 1c lower and the year 1c lower. On
the regular board on call the demand was
active and the offerings were free. Sales
included 225,000 bushels October, $4,000
bushels November, 10000 year, $4,000
January, $4,000 May at about 14o higher.
The shorts covered to some extent,
an1 the crowd is inclined to bull prices
tomorrow. Vessels were chartered to carry
$4,000 bushels. There was no appear
ance of the expected October deal. 1t is
believed large uantity is held by strong
hands who believe in it.
Oats were quiet and the feeling in the
trade one of depression with weak mar
ket throughout the session, and slight
reduction allowed in prices from yester-
days closing. Samples were plenty, and
while going out readily, still lower prices
were ruling and shaded price had to .be
allowed for even the better samples. On
call prices were steady with the sales of
5000 bushels May.
Rye was ruling dull and at lower prices,
being 10 per bushel off for cash
and more than this for all the longer
futures. It was buiet an call, with sales of
5000 bushels November.
Barley continues depressed, and holders
and receivers of cash cannot obtain any
kind of a sale unless willing to accept the
lywest kind of prices, and for the and dark
grades this means we'll down to prices for
iced. There was fair call for No. 2 in
store, and many sample cars we're going
in store to obtain sale, while No. was
dull in store and ell the poorer samples
samples were selling slow and particularly
for the poor and dark grades.
Provisions we're rather quiet and prices
were lower in pork, lard and short ribs
under increased receipts of hogs and lower
prices therefor and weak grain markets.
The shipping demand was not urgent, but
spot produce generally held strong. The
decline was most in new crop futures. In
pork there was fair busineys only and it
was weak aud lower, selling Off 1715c On
October and 15c on January, and closed at
part Of this decline. Stock 108,600
barrels. Cash was quiet, at full October
prices. Prices were a shade higher on
call, with sales of $500 barrels October at
$1O,50. Warren bought 125,OOO barrels
January short ribs, but he let his pork go
at the buying price. Armour was buyer
of pork. Outsiders are long of good
quantity of October pork waiting for a
corner. Lard was moderately active
only and reduced 10@1212c per 100

in fair demand, but not offered freely, but
commands premium of 21a @5c over o.
tober. Prices advanced about Sc on sales
of 250 tierces October, $3.50 year, $1,000
January. Hutchinson was buying lard
freely, while Cudahy is on the bear side.
Packers are said to be short to man al
though FairbRnk is rumored to be prepar
ing for a corner. Chicago elevators as
