CHICAGO. ILL, Nov. 9.-The fuctuation In
the wheat market was surprise to the oldest
traders to-day. F. or forty-eight hours there
have been copious rains throughout almost the
entire wheat belt, and all reports agree that

millions of acres OF sown wheat in the great
agricultural regions were either shrfvelling
upon the surface or drying up in the ground
without sprouting, so dry and parched was the
surface (lnni0nS redeemed
the crop in a great area, at least for the time
being, but drop in wheat on this account did
not materialize on the board 1t is true slight
decline ruled the opening. but indications of a
cold wave in the West and Northwest and re-
ports of strong cables quickly dispatched the
feeling of weakness, and the market quickly
rallied and was followed by a continued adj
vance interrupted only by occasional fiuctua-
tions The opening was about 1414c lower
