change. All rates were on a basis of par
,juerinrs were moderate and the demand
steady. Money rates show no particular
change. The open board call this morning
WAS very uninterestng, November wheat
opening and closing at 721Se but between
that time amp the opening or the regular
board reports of q decrease in wheat on pas
sage came in and firmed up the market There
was also au improved tone 10 cables. No
yember wheat opened on the regular board at
521sc sold TO 12Isc, then back 10 I22sc, and
recovered 10 .2$Sc. November corn opened
at S51Sc, bat sold quickly to 80 -. The whole
provision list WAS iirmer anu rather nigh
There was an advance Of % per cent in pork
at the very start, though it was not main
tanned November opened at S9.25, but
within IN hour had fallen TO S9.G11a. The
improved cables spoken of brought in q good
many buying orders. The French

ton was Just q little bit nervous and un-
settled. New York exporters were said to be
claimed yesterdays takings were twenty-five
boat loads and to-day'S 40 loads. This was
very strengthening in its effect and bulged
November wheat TO 13A0 $3.50, but when
this enormous export amount was uncon-
firmed there was Il reaction TO 722sc, and the
market stood at this point half an hour be-
fore the close. The high point in corn WAS
not maintained, owing TO the declining tend
encv toward the close. Provisions, too, be-
came very steady and very subject 10 only Il
