CHICAGO, Sept 29.-The markets on
'change to-day were stronger under fair
degree of speculative activity. Flour was
quiet and few buyers we're present, while
at the same time the offerings were par
ticularly light and it wa. difficult to pre-
sent any straight line and desirable quail
tiles on sale. The call from the city was
light and confined to the daily wants o.
the home dealers, while shippers and ex
porters were looking about and making
bids but were finding only low grade stock
to be had. Rye -four was slow. Bran and
all mill stufs were going at firm prices.
Winter wheat was dull and easy. No. 2
spring wheat was quiet but firm and at the
close October was about 20 higher than it
closed at o'clock yesterday. November
about Is higher and December about Pc
higher. The business was largely of 10
cal character, few outside orders being re-
celved and the local crowd seemed gener
ally disposed to purchase, but there was
little disposition to sell and frmnes5 was
the rule. Prices were, however, quite
steady, the whole fustuation of the session
having been about &c. Foreign advices
quoted wheat firm and home markets were
steady. Strong houses late in the session
commenced buying cash and October and
the feeling on the curb was much stronger.
Corn was qniet and steady, fuetuating on
~ about $50 during the session and
at the close October was about &c lower
OF 81
the same as yesterday, and the year nearly
unchanged. Early in the day there was
some frmness, due to the stronger feeling
in wheat, bat late it fell of fully go in
fuenced By warmer weather, afterwards
recovered some, changed Slightly and
closed tolerably steady. Car lots of No.
closed at about 1870. Trading was only
moderate and prices iuctuated frequently
within a small range. But few outside Or
ders were received and most of the specu-
lative trading was on local account
Shippers bought only moderately
and there was no competition
for the offerings, Receipts were fair and
shipments moderate. Foreign sadyices
quoted slow market. No was IN good
demand chiefly speculative. Vessels were
chartered fer $4,000 bushels and the re-
eeipts were 541 cara. There is a little talk
about deal in October which next week
will be developed.
In oats cash and near futures opened with
a fair demand from shorts and there was
quite an active trade at slightly improved
prices. The demand subsidized in a short
time and the market became dull and easy
and reacted from the early Improvement.
The shipping demand was good.
and shipping gradss-No. white and
sample lots-sold well and ruled steady.
Cash closed at the inside.
Barley was quite dull and the feeling in
the trade was one of depression with quite
a quantity of cash offered on sale and for
which there was little demand. Buyers
were taking advantage of this fact to de-
press prices and pick up such stock as
they wanted at the lower range, and leav-
ing the rest as unstable.
Provisions were moderately active. The
feeling was unsettled and W YAK, and lower
prices were submitted to on all leading de-
scriptions. The offerings were more liber-
al while the demand was not particularly
urgent. The receipts Of product
were not very large, bat the ship
ments we're quite liberal of sll kinds.
This being the last day OF the month
large share of business comprised changes
of October options forward, and Rads the
near month especially weak fer tims,
but on the curb there was a decided change
in sentiment, particularly as to October
pork and ribs, for they are undeuStsdly
under Armour's thumb.
A fair business was reported in the mar
kst for mess pork, bat prices ruled vita
considerable irregularity. offerings
covered ths whole range bat during the
latter part of the session improved slightly
and closed comparatively steady. The
shipping demand was moderate Cash was
in fair request. A strong effort was made
to asprsss October fer the purpose Of
buying.
Trading was moderate in the lard mar
kes, the snsrings not being very large and
no particular urgency in the demand.
Prices ruled 5G1os lever per 100 pounds

lively steady at medium figures. The in
quiry ON shipping account wGS fair, but
the offerings were light October slossd

lish account, and there is not much shanes
for manipulation.
The directors for the board of trade met
to consider Secretary Randolph's resigna-
ton, which was rendered last Tuesday, and
which, according to report, fell like q
thunder clap on the directors. The board
discussed the resignation long time, and
voted not to accept it, the decision being
unanimous.
