CHICAGO, Nov. 3o.-On Change, this morning, at
the opening, the tendency in the wheat pit was unde:
niably bearish, but light inspection on Saturday, and
the lack of any fresh talk making any larger figures
on the visible supply than the crowd had heard for two
or three days past, started a spirit of short coverings
which proved contagious, and by 1880 O'Clock nearly
all the crowd were on the buying side. Naturally,
this made offerings less free, and prices slowly mount
ed upward, being strong even around SO $50 8c for
January, though around that figure the advance was
slow, owing to the general covering. Prior to the
time the market touched that point, for Monday
there was a very satisfactory volume of business.
1t was noticeable that fewer orders than usual came in
from New York or the South. The demand continued,
however, up to the close of the morning session, Janu-
airy having sold at 50 38c. Tho market was strong at
this figure, an advance over Saturday of 1880 1oc.
Prices for corn averaged higher than on Saturday,
for ALL options, the year being the favorite future,
and selling up lie over opening figures. Other grains
were inclined to be featureless, while at the same time
quotably firm. Short interests and local traders were
quite liberal buyers of provisions, principally pork, the
January option picking up 17l2c and sustaining the
advance. The whole list closed firm at 1 o'clock.
