Chicago Grain and Produce.


CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-The wheat market was
again very active and greatly excited,
more so than during the closing days of
last week and a nervous. feverish feeling
prevailed. Fluctuations in prices are unusu'
ally roprid and severe. Advances OF &c
between trades and also declines of A@lc
between trade occurred during the session.
Prices were advanced some 41494$4c over
the closing prices of Saturday, closing
about &c higher for October, 21sc higher
for December and 31sc higher for May
than the closing figures of Saturday. The
opening was unsettled and H@5Sc higher,
but the advance was met by very large
sales The operator alleged to have con-
troll of the marketing is credited with
selling 1900, 600 bushels for future delivery
but this only appeared to check the ad-
vance, for the demand was very active and
when this large lot was absorbed the
market started up &c at jump. Develop
ments today would indicate and
it is quite generally believed that some
parties who have been selling short of late
have come to the conclusion that it is bet
ter to corner and the demand was largely
from this source. Two failures were an
nounced, which helped to unsettle the
market At the early advance or when
December touched 81 there was a halt in
the advance and reaction set in which
dropped off I@1Gc between trades and:but
few seconds elapsed ere the decline from
81 OF to SL051ac. Later the market ruled
more quiet advancing some and closed
steady.
A fairly active trade was in corn. A
frmer feeling prevailed and fluctuations
were within Il higher range of prices. The
opening was quite excited and first sales
were shade higher than the closing price
of Saturday, after which the market ad-
vanced with some reaction &c. December
&c, ruled steady and closed with October
&c, November &c, and May 11sc higher
than Saturday There was an active de-
mand for November, this future selling
11sc higher than October. There was also
considerable changing of October on the
delivery. Deliveries on October contracts
were reported moderately, about 100000
going around a good share of which was
said to have gone to large local operator.
The advance on other markets affected
oats and caused prices to rule 1s@4c
higher, with near futures closing better,
but May unchanged.
In mess pork a large business transpired
in October and January but trading in
other months was light. Shorts bought
freely and absorbed the offerings with
such activity that after a decline of 25c a
sharp advance of 55c followed. AT the
outside a prominent house sold heavily
and prices declined 1719@20c and the
market closed steady.
Trading in lard early was active but
chiefly in the near and very distant futures.
The market opened steady, advanced 471ac
on October, declined 371%c. The other
futures f1ucuatated within a 15@30c range
and closed easy.
The leading futures ranged as follows
