GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

Thu enormous receipts which had accunlu-
lated since Saturday was the principal reason
for drop Of l15@lAc in the price Of wheat at
the opening of business this morning. There
was heavy business done in the pit for the
first half hour. by which time the price had
declined to 9S2Sc for December, but although
that was the point at which buyers hal the pro-
lection of the puts, it did not bring
in enough of that business to lift
the price more than 4c up to about II o clock,
and in fact, it dipped on ON c of the counter re-
actions to oslo, and remained there some time,
lifeless, and around that price later. The mar
ket reacted on closing to 9S5sc, or 2c lower than
on Saturday.
Corn was nervous at the opening of the scs-
sion. 1t was pulled in IL downward direction by
the receipts since Saturday, amounting to 81
carloads. Ii was drawn upward by the cool
weather throughout the corn belt, and reports Of
the condition Of the crops of Wisconsin and
Iowa The opening was over IL wide range Of
prices. There were free sellers of September mt
Csc, but not buyers at over 67A@67hc October
was offered from SOC down to jSlac. There was
quick reaction to 59l2c when it vas seen how
readily the first offerings were absorbed. The
pits were palpably in fear of the dealing of Il
clique and Immediately after the brush of ac
tivi% was over, the scalpcrs took their cue and
covered. The market had many recurrent
fits Of alternate strength and weakness,
sGl..u- is high as 59s5c and down
to - hut in the cni it rested al 1914, or only =
decliuc since Saturday.
Provisions started oil strong, AM for Il time it
looked Ike Z boom. October pork sold from
SHES to l1.274. i'll very few minutes, then the
longs attempted to realize. but found few buy
crs. Tho selling pressure rapidly increased,
when the market weakened and soon went all
10 pieces. October declined to 1860. There was
IL rally to 1850. but the pressure was renewed
and the market again broke going this time to
1855, and at the close was only 2li higher.
