gradually about go from yesterdays clos
ing, and at the adjournment October was
about a g lower than at 1 o'clock yester-
day. November Ic lower and May 4c
lower. The first sales we're at about yes
terday's closing; fell 3Sc, rallied some but
again fell off in sympathy with the weak
ness in wheat, but then improved some.
Not much speculation existed in this mar
ket and the shipping demand was only
moderate, weather cloudy and raining,
and the visible supply showed a decrease
of nearly 100000 bushels. Notwith-
standing these circumstances the market
ruled weaker. Prices closed about inside.
The offerings were liberal, with sales of
100000 bushels mostly Novem-
ber and year. A good many
bears on n.wheat are bullish on corn, prob
ably because it acts strong, Trading is
very small in corn, land very large in wheat.
Hutchinson was free buyer of corn.
Oats were quiet and weak, and trading
for the day moro than usually higher with
below yesterdays prices. Quotsble but
buying orders were higher, and it was diff
ficult 10 fill orders at the prices named.
No. 2 cash was slow; yet for car lots in
store, while the sample market was slow
and there was no great demand. The
poorer samples were also slow. Prices
started on call, with sales of $4,000 bush
els. largely of May.
In rye there we're some
speculative demand existed. The market
was steady, with cash sales of No. 9; re-
jected in store nominal. A few sample
lots we're offered and were rather slow, but
10000 bushels January sold on call at
5s1@c.
A more quiet market was quotable for
barley. Prices may be said to have ruled
steady for ell good qualities, but there is
still a weakness for all low grades. Ne. 2
quotable ct about former prices, but the
demand and the offerings were both light;
cash offerings rather small, consignments
evidently being sold to greater or less
extent against contracts. The supply
Of samples was fair, demand only
moderate and market quiet. Three cars
No. in store sold at 62c.
In provisions the trading was rather
higher and the charges in prices were
slight. Spectators were not inclined to
do much business either IN local or outside
account, and shippers were favored with
only few orders and mostly for small ac-
counts. Foreign advices showed no ma
terial change, and the Eastern markets
were steady at about former figures. The
export demand continues higher, and the
inquiry is almost exciu sively to supply the
wants of the home trade. Weather
was warmer but disagreeable,
and rather unfavorable for the
movement of green product and
transacting Of outdoor business. The re-
celpts of hogs were fair and prices higher.
Only moderate business was reported in
the market for mess pork, and trading
was mainly in the more deferred futures.
Prices in lhe whole range exhibited very
little alteration, the shipping demand was
light, with only an occasional trade, the
aggregate Of transactions being smaller
than for weeks past Cash dull at Octo-
Der prices for round lots, while cask lots
sell at about 1Oc premium. On call prices
were shade higher, with sales of $3.50
barrels, mostly January. Steeners and the
packers brokers bought freely all day.
Hutchinson was seller. The demand for
lard was only fair, and the offerings not
very large. Prices showed little change,
averaged about 211ac lower per 100 pounds
The inquiry for shipment was rather light
On call prices were rather steadier with
an advance for October, and sales of $3.50
tierces, chiefly January and October.
