CuIcAGo. November l9.-The markets
recovered some from the extreme democrat
ization at the opening, becoming calmer at
the middle of the session and prices recov-
cred and averaged higher at the close to-
dav than at the corresponding time yester-
dav. Inthe wheat pit, which was the cen

kent their mouths closed for moment and
accordingly the deafening noise which
went up simultaneously with the signal to

calamity with heavy blotches of sombre-
colored ruin. There was nothing in the
nsnal governing influences before business
started to account for the increase OF the
nanjcky feeling which prevailed. The
cables. it is true, reported that the English
markets for breadstuffs were weak and
wheat lower, but less than this could not
have been expected to follow yesterday
extreme weakness here. The feeling OF
alarm was replaced by one of moderate
bonefulness when reports from New York
brought no tidirgs OF any fresh disaster
there and the quotations for stocks showed
an improving market for good securities
The corn market was scene OF wild COM
motion at the commencement and heav!
