MARKETS BY. WIRE.
Very Little Life In the Wheat Pit, and
Prices Give WAY n Trifle-Corn
Higher-November Pork

the market was qulet. Inc opening was tame
and feeling slightly weaker, but under good
buying stronger feeling developed, and prices
were advanced ss@1Sc, then weakened, and de-
clined A@Ic, and closed &c lower for Decem-
Der, and Lsc lower for May than closing figures
of Saturday. May again held up better than
December. and the premium weakened, rang
ing early 9sS@33zc over December, and later
S7s@4c over.
Foreign advices did not note any special
change, quoting the markets quiet and steady,
excepting for California, which was quoted q
trifie higher. The visible supply to-day formed
one of the principal features on the market.
Early in the day it was estimated that the in
crease would not be as large as had been cal
culated upon Saturday: in fact the first fig
Ures showed only small increase in stocks and
this had strengthening effect. But later. as
the returns began to show a larger increase,
there was some disposition to realize, but not
until after the figures were posted, did the
market break TO the wide point The biggest
increases were at Minneapolis, Duluth, Buff
falc, Chicago and on the lakes and canal
Receipts in the Northwest, although large,
did not by any means reach the figures esti-
mated toward the close of last week, that Min
neapolis and Duluth receive. Five boat loads
were reported taken to-day at New York for
export, two for Lisbon and three for South
early in the session, but a prominent floor ope-
rator sold freely during the day.
In corn a fair speculative trade was tr ans
acted within higher range of prices. The
near futures in particular were quite firm, the
distant deliveries showing but little change.
The influences on the market were much the
same as for several days past, namely, shipping
demand decreasing stocks and small arrivals.
Eastern markets were up N3sSc, while cables,
though dull, were trife higher on the ''of'
months. The market opened at about Satur-
days closing prices, was firm, and advanced &c
in all, receded 4 little. ruled firm, and closed
1s@15c higher than Saturday.
Oats were slow and without features of in
teresG Few outsiders were received and busi-
ness centered entlrely in December and May.
particularly in the latter, and prices remained
steady.
In mess pork there was only fair trade re-
ported. The feeling was comparatively steady
and for November delivery prices averaged a
trife higher.
In lard the market showed a little more
strength in general way. October was in fair
demand and sold at 2C@25c advance due to a
squeeze"-the contracts claimed to be held by
refner and an exporter. Other deliveries
were steadier but not materially higher.
In short NIB sides comparatively light trade
was reported and there were no particular
changes to note. Prices exhibited no change.
