CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-The wheat market was
narrow and light compared with yesterday.
The best activity was early when there was
fair buying all around and l2c up turn in
prices from the close last night. Much OF
the wheat bought on the bulge was soon re-
leased on by the crowd, causing loss Of all
the early advances. During the remainder
OF the session the market was of the usual
Saturday order. 1t was conceded that recent
trades were pretty well evened up, with
much of the former short interest still out
standing and neither side seemed anxious to
open the fight until next week. Receipts
here were 10 ears over the estimate, but In
cluded only 8 cars of No. 2 grade. The cars
for Monday were estimated at 200.
1t is thought that the elevators at
Minneapolis have been made regular and
that the visible supply may show an increase
of 10000 bu for the week. Closing Liv-
erpool cable was 34d dearer for futures. This
helped prices little here about noon. Ex-
port clearances for the week were 40, 900
bu of wheat and 100000 bbls and sacks Of
flour. Clearances to-day were $4,000 blu
wheat and 10000 packages OF -four. The
statement that millers and elevator COM
panies bad made an advance Of 6@Sc IN
Manitoba had no effect here. steamer
cargo of wheat sold at I'd advance at Mon
treal this morning. Sales here ruled as fol-
lows up to o'clock. September, 79s4e to
79c to 7Sl2c; December, 1850 to soc to 79l2c
to 1850 to 7934c to 79l2c to 1850 to 1850
to soc; May, S3c to 831sc to S34c. There
was quite little squirt of buying in wheat
Just before the close. Prices went to
the best points of the day. Receipts
were 152 cars winter wheat, % cars spring,
695 ears corn and 219 cars oats by rail and
IN 49, l. ad-o,r 1c frOr1
store were SO. 73s blu spring wheat 4sS bu
corn, and 413, 900 bu oats. Corn sold to-day
at the lowest figures of the year, touching
31ssc for october. The estimate for Monday
is 753 cars. The out inspection $4,000 bu,
with shipments of but 1873, 900 blu, and ex-
port clearances of but ia, 600 blu from At
lantic ports. There was nothing but low
prices to encourage buying. Oats were quiet
and unchanged. Provisions were very dull.
The market showed little strength early,
but the crowd turned sellers after it was
known that receipts of hogs atthe yard would
run up to 1900, and that Monday receipts
would probably reach 81 200 head. Lard
and ribs were weaker than pork. Kirkwood
was the heaviest seller of lard on the call.
Phillips bought 400, 1000 pounds. Last sales
show pork steady, lard shade lower and
ribs shade hrmer.
