MARKETS BY WIRE.
Nothing Exciting in Wheat, but Prices
Harden Under the Influence Of
Batch of Moderately Bullish
EeWs-POrk Declines,


for December and &c higher for May than the
closing figures of Saturday.
No special Influences were brought to light
though after the early decline the market ruled
quite firm most OF the time. This was due 70
the visible supply showing a smaller increase
than had been generally expected, and TO re-
port that Dodge, of the Agricultural Depart
ment, had written to the Anerfcan AgrtcuI-
tEriSt claiming only 3S 000, 600 acreage and on
this basis calculated that the crop would De
4S6, 600 900 bushels, or 70,000,0OO bushels OF oO
pounds each. There was also more talk OF COLI
centrated purchases of December wheat, Wnlcn
induced some covering of shorts.
The receipts were again very heavy. Min-
neapolis and Duluth received 1.6A cars. Inc
visible supply increased L9O60OO Dusnels,
whereas nearly twice that quantity had Deen
expected. The increase was chiefly at balu-
more, Buffalo, Chicago, Minneapolis and new
York. The decreases were at ST. LOUIS anu
| Toledo, and chiefly on the lakes ana canaI'
| European advices quoted wheat dull and feel-
| ing easier. Late in the session the market was
strengthened some by the reported taxing mere
of some 2l3, COO bushels of freight room, part OF
this wheat it was rumored being taken for e1-
port.
Corn-There was only moderate specula-
tive business transacted in this market, and the
bulk of the trading was IN December. Inc
feeling developed was comparatively steady,
and no material advance established. Inc mar
ket opened shade lower than the closing prices
of Saturday, was easy for time selling on
LaIIc, rallied and advanced X@sSc upon
covering by local shorts ruling easier, and
closing a trifle lower than Saturday.
II0ats were quiet and lower early but later be-
came stronger and prices advanced 1sgssc.
May was the favorite, and showed the greatest
variation.
Mess pork-A brisk trade was reported, at
tended with considerable pressure to sell and
marked decline in prices. The stock reported
on hand had depressing effect and encour-
aged shorts to enlarge their lines. Prices de,
clined S5c on November, 5@l0c on year, and 10
@I215c on January deliveries, but rallied
slightly, and the market closed comparatively
steady.
Lard-Trading was only moderate. Prices
exhibited very little change.
Short rib sides-A comparatively light busi-
ness was transacted.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
