for cash delivery. Since then values for the
current month and also for more deferred
futures have improved, especially so for No
vember delivery. Provisions show some de-
cline from prices current week ago. Wheat
has been quite active, the Improvement
noted in our last having been maintained
for some days. But under the free offerings
recently reached weakness has been devel-
oped and we note a decline to-day of nc
per bushel on the November option.
Receipts from the spring wheat section
seemed to be somewhat on the increase, and
operators, remembering the depression of
the past two months, are nervous and unwill-
ing holders on indications of weakness. Re-
ceipts at seaboard markets have been quite
liberal during the week, while exports have
somewhat fallen off, more particularly from
New York, and this feature has been, we
think, the chief factor in determining the ten
dency of the western markets. While there is
no indication of improvement at present, We
feel that no serious decline will occur and
think purchases on weak spots will afford op-
portunities for moderate profits. November
wheat closes at 711Sc.
Corn was very excited early in the week,
the price for September delivery having been
advanced to 81 per bushel by parties who
controlled the deal for that month. Since
then the offerings of cash corn have been
confined to the daily receipts, the stock in
store being held off the market. This has
had the effect of strengthening the October
option, which shows an advance of about &c
since our last, while for November delivery
prices have advanced fully 10c from the low
est point reached under the influence of I'M
favorable weather for maturing the new
crop and some fear that manipulation may be
carried through the present month. Prices for
the next ninety days must be largely gov
erDed by the weather. as stocks of old corn
are now everywhere except in this market,
and these are at present under control. With
favorable conditions we look for fair re-
ceipts of new corn tit to grade in November,
but should the prevailing weather prove I'M
favorable for drying out, the corn movement
must necessarily be postponed November
corn closed at 5315c.
Oats have ruled firm, with good steady
demand for shipment and a fairly active
speculative business Prices are without
material change, although we note harden
ing tendency and a somewhat higher range
of prices for all deliveries. November oats
closed at 26%c.
There was about an average Saturdays re-
ceipts of cattle at the stock yards, and the
market for the day was fairly active with
prices undergoing little or no change. The
week just closed has been one of the busiest
of the season, about so, 600 having arrived
and been disposed of. A noticeable feature
in trade is the active demand for young cat
tie. Over 100 cars went west last night
loaded with calves, yearlings, and stock for
the distillers A big run is anticipated for
the coming week, many placing the number
as high as 5000. In range stock the de-
cline for the week has been about soc on
fair to common, closing quotations being
Texans, s3.25@3. IS; Wyomings and Mon
tanas s3.5O@4.50; Western natives, 81. 75@
5.25
The hog market was active and prices
ruled stronger, the market closing steady
Packing grades sold a shade higher this
forenoon, owing to the presence of a couple
OF fresh buyers, two of the leading packing
shippers bought 300, or 2 900 to 5000 more
than the fresh receipts, so that about all were
sold. Common and rough packers sold at
from 81. 70GS4.90; fair to good packers So
G5.30 and the best $5.40@5.50; choice
heavy and Philadelphia, $5.60@5.7O.
