huUOdIQ IElc6 q COCUS circular says.
Our market responded TO the Liverpool ad-
vance. Considerable firmness displayed
throughout the day, the closing figures icing
}03 points better. During the early hours the
market was stimulated by prominent opera
tor in his efforts to transfer large line of No
vember contracts to more distant futures. But
this accomplished, prices again became easier.
For European account also there was some
heavy buying"

CHICAGO, Oct 2].-The general conditions of
the wheat market remain unchanged. A fair
business was done, principally in May. Opera
tors are not showing much inclination to touch

trader in question with considerable distrIist
A matter of fact is, the market of late has
acted so contrary that they hesitate about
trading even in backing heir own conclusions
of the views of the market. The feeling was
weak and prices declined 29zc for December and
