CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-The trading in wheat
to-day was extraordinarily active at times, but
the temper o. the market was very weak, until
toward the close of the afternoon board. when
the tone became somewhat steadier, and re-
action of &c from the inside price took place.
The cables came in weak. and receipts at all
primary points were reported large, which
caused a continuation of the weakness shown at
the close last night. The December option fell
off almost &c Immediately, to $780, with very
few buyers but under moderate demand the
market rose to 893c, but began to fall off, under
very heavy offerings and tremendous pounding
by the bears. Heavy sales were reported for the
short account prominent bears taking courage
at the weakness shown and was assisted by
the throwing of considerable long" wheat
on the market. There was drop to 88ac, and
subsequent rally to 88sc. from which point the
market broke off almost steadily to 87s a SEC,
but at the inside figures some very large lots
changed hands, and the excitement in the pit
was very marked. In the afternoon the mar
ket broke down to SIZE, under vigorous pound
ing and large offerings, but the buying became
general on both home and outside account. and
the market closed firm at 884c, or at medium
figures for the day, and &c lower than at the
close last night The prospect of another large
increase in the visible supply and a light export
movement were given as the chief reason for
the decline, but the statement that the Mime
apolis millers had reduced the price of wheat
&c, and that flour could not be sold
on the basis at which wheat was now
selling, added to the weakness shown by
the market early. The corn market was weak,
and lower prices all around again prevailed.
The arrivals were free, and with fine weather
ana the weakness in wheat prices declined 10 &c
for all the near futures. Oats were slow and
dull, with prices ruling Ole lower. Mess pork
declined 10 Zoe under good offerings, and closed
easy at inside figures. Lard closed .C5 %. Zoe
