CHIcAGo.-The wheat market was strong
ana weak by turns to-day. Fluctuations in
prices were not violent and excitement did not
run as high as on some of the earlier days. The
only cause for complaint was the lack of out
side orders. Barring a little buying again TO-
day for account of New York the business pass
ing was almost entirely local. Three or four
chicago houses took between them fully l.000.-
OOO OF December when the price was around
1SAc. Most of the news was again favorable
tor holders. A Minneapolis dispatch said an
unusual number of cable orders for flour had
been received and the foreign -four situation
had improved. The French Government IS
SAID to have figured out an increase of 390O0.-
OOO bushels of wheat in the crop this year as
compared with that reported in 1888.
Inc strongest local feature settled down on
ayed for this country of 48O, ,0a0. 900 bushels as
the stock showing. Brddstreers London cor
respondent says the weather was bad for the
greater part of a month during harvest and
that probably 6S 600 0OO bushels will be all that
will be marketable. while 000 bushels
