opened only fairly strong, but generally
felt an improvement after the first hour.
Foreign advices were quiet and easy. In
wheat there was only fair degree of &C
tiyity and the feeling was generally weak
December closing about 28c lower than at
l O'Clock yesterday, January 78c lower
and May rs lower. The market opened
at yesterdays closing figures, and was
quiet and easy for time, selling off at
A@$8c, but then ticmed up and advanced
Pc over the lowest point previously
touched, but there were free sellers at the
advance and prices began TO weaken, and
when a correction OF the visible supply
was telegraphed, showing the stock in
sight to be about half a million bushels
more than previously reported, the market
became quite heavy and fell off about
118c, then changed slightly, closing rather
weak. Rumor5 of a heavy failure in London
of financial agent may also have had
some effect. Foreign advices quoted an
easier feeling. Receipts at some points
show 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 cloee Sc below the
extreme bulge.
Corn was fairly active and opened
stronger, selling up sharply during the
early part Of the session, but about &c of
the advance was subsequently lost, but at
the close November was 4c higher than
at O'Clock yesterday, December % C high
er, year &c higher, January &c higher,
and May 70 higher. The receipts con-
tinue light, and the demand was brisk for
time, shorts, spectators and shippers
all buying, and there was a general ad-
vance of q o. 2ac from the opening, but
finally became easy, largely in sympathy
with the weakness in wheat, and fell off
PC, changed slightly, and closed rather
weak. Foreign advices quoted an easier
feeling and receipts were larger. There
is 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 ruled
quiet and dull. There was not much
change in prices. tolerably steady feel
ing was maintained for future deliveries ou
account Of strength in other markets.
There was little doing, and but few oper-
ators gave the market any attention.
Car lots of No. ,, which sell only to make
up round lots, were a shade easier, and
not many offered. There was good sup
ply of sample lots. The early trade was
quite satisfactory but it finally dragged.
Rye was dull, round, lot of No. in
special location was sold for shipment at
the same as paid yesterday. Speculative
trading was light, futures were about i q
10 lower, and bids for car lots were in
consequence reduced The offerings were
mainly of rejected. Demand light.
The speculative demand for No. 2 barley
was improved. Fair sales were made for
future delivery. The feeling was quite
strong and December delivery sold for
little more THAI quoted yesterday. No
vember was quoted nominally little bet
ter and January was unchanged. Cash
No. was unchanged but very quiet, with
quiet. No improvement could be noticed
in the consumptive 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 obtainabIe for the better family and
bakers brands. Shippers and exporters
were also looking about, and were packing
mp 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 moderate business was transact
ed in the market for provisions. The Of
ferings on speculative account were rather
free at times, and the demand only fair.
The receipts of hogs were large and prices
ruled easter, 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 ses-
sion the feeling was easier, aud a part of
the advance WAS lost. The shipping demand
was fair, but the restrictions placed on the
trade in the way of suitable offerings tend,
to check business to some extent Foreign
advices were without material change, and
reports from the eastern markets exhibited
considerable steadiness. The receipts OF
product were moderate, and the shipments
quite liberal of all kinds. The packing
interest is in favor of lower prices, aud no,
body in particular in favor of higher pri
ces now.
Ouly fair business was transacted in
the market for mess pork. The demand
was moderately active and the offerings OF
the deferred deliveries rather free. The
market opened comparatively steady at
the closing figures of yesterday, and grad
ualy improved 1092 Later the feel
ing was easier and prices receded 1O6 15c
and closed steady. The demand for ship
ment was moderate.
fair business was reported in the lard
market, and the feeling was comparatively
steady. Spectators traded moderately
and the shipping demand was fair. Price.
on the whole range showed very little
