rece5ed and closed about 58@Mc higher
THAI Yesterday. There was some weakness
yesterday afternoon, and the first sale this
morning was at about 10 decline from
the closing figures at o'clock yesterday,
but there we're free buyers and with firm
or feeling in New York the situation gen
orally improved, and shorts and speculs-
tors bought freely. On call wheat was ac-
tive and steady exoep. for January, which
was weak and a little shade lower. Resm
was heavy seller and Influenced by him
mary small dealers let go their holdings
but buyers were numerous and ell the Of
ferings were absorbed.
| Corn was more active and attracted
more attention. The feeling was firmer,
The receipts were small and the
visible supply showed decrease of about
| 100000 bushels. The deliveries on No
venber contracts were very light. Shorts
were Enore anxious to cover and prices
we're advanced 15@%o for the various
futures, with November showing the most
strength. The principal cause of the firm
ness was sympathy with the strong feeling
il vi It, but in addition to this there
wer9 lulors that stron.5 parties were buy
ing yily with the intention of getting
cortrs If the market, and especially of
the November future. This had tendency
| to maze the shorts nervous and led to
heavy bGying on short account. Later
| there was quite q break in November,
| closing rather easy. Hutchinson was per-
| haps tie heaviest seller, but the bulls led
by Lyon bought freely, thus keeping the
range Of prices strong and steady. On call
corn Was moderately active and values q
shade higher. Vessels were engaged to
carry 5000 bushels.
On the regular board oats ruled
about &c easier. The offerings
were higher, but there was only a
limited demand, this OF speculative &C
comm, and buyers were Indifferent.
Ligh5 sales were made. Ths market
for fcsg.-a deliveries was quiet ana dull.
At eAe sams time sample lots were in
good demand, They were also very steady
and sold to q good advantage. On Gail
oats we're in moderate request and prices
steady. closing shade higher. The trad
ing wa5 principally in the December op-
tions.
In the market for barley hardly any
thing was doing, and the feeling
in the trade was one of particu-
lar dullness with No. cash and
all futures for this grade lower and
there v.ss so little call for samples that for
the poor and dark grown that hardly any
kind of bid could be brought out, and
many will have to be carried over to a
more favorable market. No. cash was
fair sale for fresh receipts. Nc. was not
offered in store and was quite dull in the
sample market. The samples below No. 3
could hardly be sold at all, or particularly
for the poor and dark grain.
Rye was quiet. The eipts were smaller
and prices were steady. Trade was only
moderate. Quite large deliveries on
contracts were said to have beenNmade
bat The offerings were very moderate. On
call, rye was in fair demand, and frmer,
with sales steady and pretty evenly dis
tributed along the line.
The -four market was more than usually
quiet and sales much lighter than usual,
with a fair call for the better family apd
bakers' brands and at steady prices to Gull
for sll shipping stock, and exporters are
slow to bid for anything but low grade to
fair stock. Rye flour was quiet; buck
wheat -four was in light request; bran and
all millstutf5 were holding firm.
All the surrounding provisions were a lit
tie NOR favorable for firmer market for
the deliveries Of November contract for

liberal rivals The shorts were more anxi-
GUS to provide for outstanding contracts,

ported. Prices were advanced on ali the
| leading descriptions, and the improve
ment was moderately well maintained
