CHICAGO. ILL, Nov 9l-The Russian ukase
has come at last, but it did not have the effect
on the Chicago wheat market that was antici-
pated. Indeed, receipts OF the issue OF this i'm
perial mandate have been repeated SO many
times, and its appearance so confidently ex-
pected, that traders generally had taken il for
granted that the prohibition was Dut matter
OF few days, and the effect OF the ukase had
spent itself, to a great extent before its Issue.
But continental as well as English cab eS came
in higher, and the stronger tone with the I'M
usual advance in the price OF English farmers
deliveries and reported better buying At san
Francisco started the Chicago market to ad-
vance second time. and was mostly accounta-
BILE for the tirmness which existed to-day.
Wheat-The market was about go q higher
than yesterdays close, but eased of about
a63kc from opening figures, then started up
again, prices advancing l911ac; ruled Irregular
and the closing was SOLE higher than yester-
day.
Corn-The market started strong at some i'm
provement over yesterdays closing prices.
+ After about ten minutes of active business the
enthusiasm fiattened out and duilncss, with,
however q very firm undertone. was the promi-
nent feature Of the remainder of the day No
vember opened at Coo and closed at Sc. The
year ranged from Acc to 47c, the opening being
from 1910 to 47c, and the closing price $3.50
47sic May rested with gain OF 1sc since yes
terday.
The provision market was afflicted with dull
ness and Indifference the part of traders,
and in the absence OF any strong lead from any
of the influential packers changes in prices
were light.
Pork closed e14c lower for December and jan
uary and TIC for May.
Lard is unchanged and ribs are about the
same price as on the day before, except for
May, which is fraction better.
