CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The wheat market
opened dull. with a tendency toward lower
prices Foreign aSYices noted dull markets
and early New ork reports were not par
ticularly encouraging. The quantity on
ocean passage showed an increase OF 9oO, OO0
bushels Under these influences prices
broke off &c, rallied again on report OF good
export purchases. but sank back and closed
in the latest trading at inside prices, ana
closed &c lower than on Monday. Inc
opening in corn was trif1e easier. but un-
der good speculative demand and light re-
ceipts advanced 5000, but fell pack To-
ward the close, and finished &c hlgner tnan
ON YESTERDAY. There was very little doing
in oats. but prices ruled steady. Provisions
were active and stronger. The unsettled
feeling among the packing house employers
tends to the impression that the production
of the speculative articles may be curtaied.
This taken in connection with good ship
ping demand, caused a very sharp advance
of 2503Oc in mess pork, which was moder-
ateIy well supported. Lard advanced ~
C05c and closed steady. Short ribs ad-
yanced 1215@15c and closed firm.
