tors bearish, and all through the session
there were more sellers than buyers, and
November fell 11sc from the opening;
December 11{c; January 14c and May
11ic, and closed easy.
Rumors of heavy failure in
Rhode Island had a depressing
influence on this market. The
bearish feeling, so strongly developed the
past few days was again spparenl. The
''shorts" did all in their power to depress
values and a considerable amount of long
wheat is said to have been closed out. The
receipts continue fair and shipments mod
crate. Foreign advices continue unfavor-
able, Liverpool being reported quiet and
New York was lower. On call the offerings
were excessive and the demand active.
Prices ruled irregular and trihe lower,
with sales Of over 2,000 600 bushels most
ly January. There was general absence
of support all day and there are no indioa-
tious of reaction after the break. Vessel
charters los, 900 bushels.
In corn there was active business and
prices were lower and weak, November
closing Il lower than it closed yester-
day, year 1c lower and May 24c lower.
The first sales were at 1s94c decline
from yesterdays closing, ruled weak in
sympathy with the depressed feeling in
wheat, and declined 1@11sc, closing weak
at ABOUT the lowest prices of the session.
The receipts were smaller, but clear
MA L.
together with the causes producing the
depression in wheat, caused heavy ceel-
ing to prevail in this msrLet. The offer
ings to sell were liberal, and the demand
was good at the declining prices. Shippers
bought moderately, and speculation was
quite active.
On call prices ruled steady with sales OF
10000 bushels, chiefly of November and
May. Hutchinson bought moderately
but if the decline continues all his hold
ings will come upon the market. Vessels
charters $4,000 bushels.
In the oats market the attendance of
operators was larger, the increase being
made up mostly of sellers. The depres-
sicn in the leading market created desire
OF the part Of some some to realize. Prices
on the speculative market ranged 3$94c
lower. No. 2 cash sold at 2711[ and other
grades were nominal: being sold by sam
PIE. The supply of sample lots was per-
haps no larger than the demand
and holders were rather
steady. Buyers expect to buy
cheaper in view Of the weakness al around
but holders would not relax except for
common grades. These were weaker but
choice brought quite or nearly the same as
yesterday though buyers paid the prices
reluctantly.
This market was weak from the opening
and considerable decline was suffered for
cash and the near by deliveries and all
months were lower than yesterday, with
hsavier offerings of cash and lighter call
for the same together with lower grain
market, helping to the decline noted.
On call prices we're steady and some
what frmer with unusual sales of
over 100000, largely of May. Nc
Geocb, who has been loading up with May
oats for many weeks, is dumping his hold
ings on the market and it will continue to
decline.
Rye was dull and lower; prices ruled
With the general depression, having suff
cient influence to bring break of 70 per
bushel from yesterday and slow at that.
Ga call 1900 bushels Of January sold at
58o.
Barley wes more than usually slow and
holders OF cash found it difficult to bring
about sales with No. 2 and speculation for
this grade showing dull tone ana a re-
duction. The lower grades were in quite
light request in the sample market and
selling at lower rates for all quotations.
Provisions were again very quiet, and
prices averaged easier Ill sympathy with
lower grain markets. There was not
much of g demand for anything, and no
real urgency in the offerings; but the lat
ter exceeded the former and hence the
lower prices. Receipts of hogswere mod
crate will be about $4,000 head for the
week,8gainst S8S, ,641,s week last year,
and prices we're frmer. Shipping demand
for product only moderate. Pork
dull, weak and lower. The January op-
tiols selling OF 1Oc per barrel and the
4earer options 5g715c per barrel, and all
closed as they opened, dull. Demand
light, either for immediate or future deIiv-
cry; cash at October prices for round lots
and 1oc premium for car lots. On call
prices were steady, with sales of 1880 bar
rels, mostly January, In lard the offer
ings were fair and the inquiry on specu-
lative account was moderately active
Prices were little higher for present de-
livery but more deferred deliveries were
not quite SO firm, prices declined 315@5o
per 100 pounds and closed steady at the
reduction.
