CHICAGO REVIEW.
BuslneSs in the Grain Center Dnr-
Ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, October 31.-There was
fair trade i'll wheat. There were no new
features presented and operators did not
manifest any special desire to enter into
extensive operations either on one side
or the other. The market opened about
the same as it closed yesterday, then
eased off about 12c., improved some, rul-
ing quite strong and advanced Ha1c.
and closed steady, and about $sc. higher
for December and sc. higher for May
than yesterday. European advices were
Indicative of tritie steadier feeling.
Some export inquiry existed and New
York reported three boat loads taken
and freight room engaged for six loads
to go to Glasgow. The receipts in the
northwest continue large. Cloudy
weather was reported pretty much all
over the country and rain in some sec
tons Detroit wired that the deliveries
of wheat in the winter wheat belt were
very light. There was no decided action
to market until very late in the session,
when prices were advanced to the out
side range.
Corn-Another day of activity was
witnessed in this market, with the feeling
generally quite strong, though at times
a little unsettled. A still further advance
was recorded on near futures, though ex-
treme prices were not maintained. The
| influences on the market were much the
same as yesterday, namely, small receipts
active shipping demand and the unsettled
weather. which had tendency to make
shorts on near deliveries nervous. The
market opened shade higher than yes
terday's closing quotations, was firm
and advanced l2c., the shippers making
liberal purchases of November, as also &
prominent local trader. A reaction fol
lowed the early advance, due to the free
selling of May by several large local op
orators. and prices declined 12c., recov
cred the decline, eascd off some and Closet
a shade higher than yesterday.
Oats-An active business was trans
acted and higher range of prices re
corded, but outside figures were no
maintained. The feeling most of the ses
sion was firm, due to the continued we
and cloudy weather, and sharp declin
in arrivals. Offerings were free at an ad
vance OF Hc. over yesterdays closln!
prices for May, and caused Il recession q
SC, but later the market again bccam
irmcr and prices rallied 4c.
In mess pork rather more life was man
Tested, and speculative trading wa
quite active, though almost exclusivel
in November and January deliveries
Free offerings early encouraged littl
buying from short interest, and price
were advanced to outside figures. A
Improvement there was some desire t.
realize, which caused decidedly weake
feeling, especially for January delivery
and prices receded again. The trading
in October delivery was moderate. Buy
ing was credited to long interest, price

clining 75aSOc., closing weak.
The lard market attracted very littl
!. attention and trading was compare
I lively light. Prices ruled lease. lowe
on deferred deliveries, while Octoberrule
strong at 75aS0c. advance.
In short rib sides only limited trad

steady, while November and Januar
u deliveries were easier.
