CHICAGO, Oct. 29-The wheat market
opened easier at &c lower this morning, but adj
vanced steadily to Sole for December, under good
buying, and was sustained by the report that the
Minneapolis milers had advanced their bids for
wheat &c a bushel The cables came in reporting
steady foreign markets, with no change in prices.
The amount of wheat on ocean passage showed
increase of 400. 900 bushels and this served to
counteract the ''bulls news early received. At
the top figures it was found that the offerings
were free, and large quantities of wheat were
thrown on the market all the way down to 88sc
for December, after which the feeling
was little steadier until near the
close, when prices broke off suddenly to size,
and the close on the regular session was at about
the inside figures. Shipments are falling off
at primary points, compared to last week, but
the rumor that some of the Minneapolis mills
would shut down on Nov. / served to make
depressed feeling. In the afternoon the feeling
continued weak, December declining to S7Sc,
and closing at the lowest figure Corn was in
better demand early, but fell back. in sympathy
with wheat. and closed a shade under yesterday.
