CHICAGO, Oct. 24-The wheat market closed
for the week at the lowest prices current during
the month of October, and SIC lower for the
leading options than at the close one week ago.
The market opened steady, with good buying,
under which December advanced to $3.50 and re-
NAMED steady at that figure for the first hour.
Several estimates were then made as to the
probable increase which would be shown in the
next visible supply report, one house estimating
that the increase would be nearly Z, 1000. 600
bushels. This produced an immediate feeling
of weakness, and to the close of the session the
offerings were very large. under which
the price for December declined to s6sc,
and closed in the latest trading at
06s S64c, against 92c one week ago. The
pressure to sell was very sharp throughout the
entire session, and the decline was almost steady,
with very few reactions. The receipts showed
a falling off at all except Northwestern points,
but were reported large at Minneapolis. In
spite of the large arrivals at the latter point, it
was reported that the millers had advanced their
bids one cent for wheat, which occasioned a
temporary feeling of frmness, but it stayed the
downward course of the market for only a brief
period. The cables reported quiet foreign
markets.. with no appreciable change

closed generally a shade lower. Oats ruled firm,
owing to light receipts and a good shipping de-
rnand, and the latest prices were generally we'll
