CHICAGO. Sept. 20.-The wheat market was
not up to its usual proportions to-day. 1t
was a scalping market. There was not much
news, and most of it was of Il diseouraging
character for the bulls. The local trade was
beariSh by a large majority. but the market
refused to decline to any extent, and early
sellers bought later. Counselman x Day sold
very freely early, and the crowd followed,
expecting to force Mitchell and others TO give
up their long wheat. Later in the day
Schwartz-Dupee sold freely. The buyers
were S. V. White d Co., Comstock. Weare,
and a few commission houses. New York
cleared no wheat; Baltimore, "a. 500 bushels.
Bradstreets! gave clearances of wheat and
-four for both coasts for the week equal to
9S5, 600 bushels wheat, against 1,4o0,00O
last week and 1000, 900 last year. Farmers
deliveries in England were large at l07, 600
quarters. Liverpool was steady early and
I'D off at the close. Reports of weather in
the Northwest were not very favorable,
but these dispatches were ignored. The
lowest price of the day was reached in
selling on a rumor of a bank failure at New
York, later in London and finally in some
other place. The market rallied I2c when
when this was not confirmed, but there was
no snap to the trade, December wheat
opened at S1.OIIs, sold at ST. 07s to Sl.0I3S
to S1.01a4 to Sl.O14 10 Sl.011s to S1.01 at
The close. May sold at S1.G6 and $1.05l2,
closing at 5 .05S4. Calls on December for
Monday were S1.017S and puts 99S4@997sc.
The corn market ruled firm. and closed sac
higher. The damage done by the frost is re-
vealIng itself gradually, and the prevalence
of reports of this nature from the country
accompanied by buying orders was the cause
of to-dav'g strength. The oats market was
firm. Hutchinson was a heavy buyer and
short sellers took fright and covered. Trad
ing was quite lively. the market at times
being very excited. The close was 3s@3sc
higher. The provision market was weak
from beginning to end on heavy selling by a
local operator. January pork declined II2c
to 1Gc, and May 12I2c since the close of the
market on Friday. Lard declined 2l2c to sc,
and ribs lost about in the same proportion as
lard.
