CHICAGO. Oct 10.-One hundred and FIVE
thousand bushels of wheat in the Canton ele-
yator has been found out of condition, and
'weeviy and warm" was the intelligence re-
ceived early from Baltimore, and the crowd i'm
mediately began to sell wheat crowding Novem-
Der down from 89s a 89ac to SOC. A good many
small amounts were bought, from all sources,
but by ii o'clock there recovery of shade
over 1c, on reports that the governments Octo-
Der crop report would show a decrease of
from IL, 600, 600 to 90 600 000 Later the figures
were placed at 100000 decrease By IL M.
there was a sudden break of &c, when the official
report was brought in by wire, showing an ap-
parent incre ase of 600, 000 bushels although the
department, for the first time since June, failed
to make very close estimate. The September
report placed the total probable yield at 35I 00O-
GOO bushels, and the report for Oc-
tober merely approximated the average
yield per acre at not to exceed
l0a bushels, and stated that the area harvested
would not exceed "a, 900, 900 acres. Taking the
$1,000, 900 bushels A portion of the trade
seemed disinclined to accept the conclusion of
an increase, owing to the departure of the bureau
from its former method of reckoning, but
the trade generally accepted the report
as showing an increase, and this pro
voked a selling fever which carried
prices down fully 1c from last nights close, and
2sc from the highest figures of the week AS
compared to one week ago, the market closed &c
higher. The other features of the davis trading
appea red to have little effect upon the course of
values. The Minneapolis mlllers were reported
to have advanced their bids for wheat 1c to &c.
The cables were firm at yesterdays ad-
vance. Receipts showed a falling off at
