CHICAGO, Oct 25.-In wheat there was a fair
volume of trading, the feeling little unsettled,
and after slight advance bee ime weak. The
opening was about the same to 1sc lower than
yesterdays closing became firm and advanced
on reported export news about 1s@SSc, then be-
came weaker, declining 7Sc, and closed about
/ S014c lower than yesterday. Trading was
mostly local. with sone OF the prominent oper-
ators again apparently on the selling side.
There was nothing particular in the foreigd
news TO cause much if any change, but reported
export buying at the seaboar and BradsLreets
report of /, 7S2, 900 bushels of wheat and flo II
exported from both coasts started some little
buying and helped the early advance, then fol-
lowed decline to inside prices, influenced by
further decline in silver and reported increas-
ing receipts from first hands in Northwest and
prospects of rather liberal increase in the visi
BILE supply. Corn was fairly active, and an ad-
vance was scored on all futures. The market
at the opening was inclined to be easy, but it
was soon apparent that the crowd was short,
having oversold yesterday, and a little bidding
put prices up, offerings being light, though
there was some pressure TO sell May at 5411c.
| First trades were at yesterdays closing prices,
and under good demand advanced NGD5Bc,
essed off 1sc, sold up Nc, changing some, and
closed with 1a096c gain. Oats were active,
stronger and higher Trading was chiefly in
May, several brokers buying heavily. Their
taking, coupled with the advance in wheat and
corn, had good effect, and prices advanced
zSc, receded sc. but rallied to previous outside
figures and closed easier. In mess po K there
was fair trade Opening sales were 5G1715c
advance, and a few sales were made shortly
thereafter at 2I5c reduction. Good buying
readily absorbed offerings and prices gradually
rallied l001211c. Prices settled back again
71S9b1Oc and closed steady. In lard trading
was only moderate. Prices advanced 21S15c
and the market closed rather quiet at outside
figures. In short rib sides trading was moder-
ateiy active. Prices advanced 716010c, but
settled back 216G5c and closed comparatively
steady.
