CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The 'bulls" had control
of the wheat market again to-day, and this, in
the face of the general expectation at the open
ing that it would rule weak. The starting price
was &c lower than yesterdays Close under the
influence of weak cables and free offerings, but
buying orders were numerous, and December,
which began at o6sc, rose to 87ac fuctuated for
time, and then advanced steadily to 88c. The
receipts at all primary points showed marked
falling off, and this, in addition to the strength
shown In other cereals provoked another wave
of buying, which carried December ultimately,
to SOC, and it closed the regular board at 88sc
The advance was an undeniable surprise to
the trade, and was ascribed, in part, to the buy
ing of the Shorts" some large lines being Gov
cred There was also a prevalent fear of for
eign war news, but the strength in British con-
soils dissipated this feeling in measure. The
temper remained very strong to the close of the
regular session, but during the recess, the tenor
of the fore sn news containing nothing startling,
the feeling became easier, and the market
opened in the afternoon &c lower at S844c for
December The transactions on the afternoon
board were exceptionally large prices fuctuat-
ing rather wildly, December wheat sold off to
the regular board, and &c higher
than last night The receipts to-day were
l32 cars of spring wheat out of
which only nine graded as regular The days
weather, in addition to very light receipts, i'm
parted considerable strength to corn, and the
pit was well filled with spectators throughout
the entire day. November advanced to 41c but
the offerings were large at that figure, and the
market broke off several times but finally closed
on the regular board at nearly outside prices.
The demand for oats was keen, and the May
option rose to 30ac, closing there on the regular
board, but losing sc off the advance in the after
noon. Provisions We're strong. January pork
advancing to $685. but falling off II a 1Oc in the
