Wheat Opens Weak Under the Influence OF
Bearish Cables and Statistics-A ke-
action Later on Caused by An.
ticipaIion of Cold Wave

anOtner Time IL went 10 fJ1sc, uut eue ih"A sNSs
hung inert and characterless within these limits
until after II o'clock. Opening figures were
&c under yesterdays latest bids and the gen.
eral tone was one of weakness throughout
Gables and statistics were bearish in their in
iuence to-day. Early cables were quiet and "a
lower for spot grain at Liverpool, and closing
ones noted decline in futures of A@ld. Lon
don reported English country markets dull and
Paris wheat was lower. Private cables were
all of the same tenor, and foreigners were re-
selling wheat in this and other markets prevl-
ously bought for export.
Had it not been for the support OF promi-
nent local operator, who bought all the Decem-
Der that was for sale at 7S7sc the market would
probably have receded to a lower level IN the
early dealings. At &c and above, however, TINS
same trader sold rather freely. During the last
hour of the session the market irmed up to 7Sssc
for December and $50 4@S3asc for May, on the
prediction of cold wave.
A fair business was transacted in the corn
market and the feeling was somewhat firmer,
due to reports of cooler weather in the west
Trading was rather spasmodic, the market at
times ruling very quiet. The market opened
at yesterdays closing prices, was nIm ana
gradually advanced &c, became active and
Oats were traded in with a little more free
dom. A stronger feeling developed and prices
advanced 1s6Lc. Offerings were not so free
and the demand a little better, especially from
shorts.
A fairly active trade was reported in pork,
with the bulk of the business in October de-
livery. Prices ruled easier for the deferred
and rather stronger for the near deliveries,
but outside prices were not supported to the
close.
Trading in lard was fair and the feeling
easier. Prices ruled 5@71ac lower, and closed
steady at medium figures.
The market for ribs attracted fair attention
The feeling was easy early. and prices receded
715@l0c on october and 215@5c on January de-
stronger. and prices rallied lO@l21sc on octo-
Der and 5@714c on January, closing frm.
