CHICAGO, Sept. S.-The action of the Mime
sofa warehouse commissioners in regard to
grades, the fact that some of the heavy traders
here took the bear side, fine weather and an
the next government report, all conspired TO
make weak market in wheat the greater part
of to-day's session Rallies were sickly, and
caused fresh realizing each time. Exports were
light, and the grading of new wheat receipts
begins to improve The opening prices for De-
cember was 19c off at 93s4c and the first hour
gave that future a range from 933sc to $3.50,
from which there was dragging decline. the
market was dull and weak till the close at p.
m. The lowest point for December was 93Ac,
and the close was at 9314c, or lc under last
night. There was light trade in corn. but the
crowd was determined enough to let prices
down slowly. In one sense the decline was
reaction from the bulge of yesterday, caused
by a scramble for cash corn. The closing price
was the lowest for the day, and l. Sc under last
night Oats were easier in sympathy with
corn. 16614c lower with moderate trade for
October but the market was otherwise quiet.
