CHICAGO, Oct 3l-Trading in wheat to-day
was active at several stages during the session.
but the market, as a whole, dragged. Several
rushes were made by the bears" early in the
session, and from 87sc down to 86ac for Deem
Der wheat offered in large quantities, but
was taken, after which the tone was stronger.
The statement was made that three of the Min
neapolis mills had closed, and that others would
follow which had weakening effect early, but
the prediction that receipts would show a
marked falling off next week had a strengthening
tendency later on, and accounted, in part for
the rather firm closing at nearly the ouside
figures of the day. Contrary to the usual rule,
there was very little speculation as to the show
ing of the visible supply report, and no predic-
tons were made regarding it. The market
closed for the week lsc higher for cash prop
erty and &c higher for the active options than
one week ago There was a moderate demand
for corn to cover October deliveries, outside of
