Of financial agent may also have had
sons effect. Foreign advices quoted an
easier feeling, Receipts at some points
show a slight increase, and this is used by
the bears, but the undertone is quite
strong for all that, and winter wheat mar
kets stand up well. We close Sc below the
extreme bulge.
Corn was fairly active and opened
stronger, selling up sharply during the
early part of The Sol On, but about &c of
the advance was subsequently lost, but at
the close November was &c higher than
at o'clock yesterday, December 58c high
er, year 5ac higher, January &c higher,
and May &c higher. The receipts con
tInue light, and the demand was brisk for
a time, shorts, spectators and shippers
all buying, and there was a general ad-
vance of 2l@Bc from the opening, but
finally became easy, largely in sympathy
with 4he weakness in wheat, ard fell off
10, changed slightly, and closed rather
weak. Foreign advices quoted an easier
feeling and receipts were larger. There
is a large concentration of December and
year contracts in few hands, and the
gloomy report from corn districts has
made good many local dealers bullish on
May corn. Corn is not high and the de-
mand is remarkably good.
In oats the speculative market raled
quiet and dull. There was not much
change in prices. a tolerably steady feel
ing was maintained for future deliveries on
account of strength in other markets.
There was little doing, ard but few oper-
ators gave the market any attention
Gar lots of No. >, which sell only TO make
up round lots, were a shade easier, and
no many offered. There was a good sup
ply of sample lots. The early trade was
quite satisfactory but it finally dragged
Rye WGs dull, round, lot of No. , in
special location was sold for shipment at
the same Us paid yesterday. Speculative
trading was light futures were about L q
20 lower, and bids for car lots were in
consequence reduced. The offerings were
mainly OF rejected. Demand light.
The speculative demand for No . barley
was improved. Fair sales were made for
future delivery. The feeling was quite
strong and December delivery sold for a
little more thea quoted yesterday No
vember was quoted nomiually a little bet
ter and January was unchanged. Cash
No. was unchanged but very quiet, with
no oGlriuge TO speak of. Sample lots were
quiet. No improvement could be noticed
in the oonsumptive demand. Fine bright,
especially Scotch barley, was moderate
sale, but stained and light body grain was
dull.
The market for flour was quiet and trad
ing light, yet the feeling was one of firm
ness and fully previous prices quotable and
and oblainable for the better family and
bakers brands. Shippers and exporters
were also looking about, and were packing
up considerable good and sound stock, and
were bidding for all the lower grades. Rye
flour was firm. Bran and all millstuffs
were holding steady.
Only a moderate business was transact
ed in the market for provisions. The Of
ferings on speculative account were rather
free Mt times, and the demand only fair.
The receipts OF hogs were large and prices
ruled easier, which had some influence on
the market for product early. Toward
noon the market was stronger and
prices ruled higher on all the leading arti-
Giles, but during the latter part of the SEES
Zion the feeling was easier, aud q part of
the advance was lost. The shipping dsusnd
was fair, bat the restrictions placed on the
trade in ihe way of suitable offerings tends

advices were without material change. and
repol-s from Inc eastern markets exhibited
considerable steadiness. The receipts Of
pro1sct were moderate, and the shipments
qui.e liberal Of all Kinds. The packing
interest is in favor CT lower prices, and no
body ia particular in favor Of higher pri-
ces now.
OIiy fair business was transacted in
the market for mess pork. The demand
was moderately active snd the offerings Of
the deferred deliveries rather free. The
