CHICAGO
CHICAGO. October 22.-Wheat was excited AMI
nervous throughout the session Tho opening
was easy, and close to the closing figures OF yos-
t3riay, but the shorts wore scared and nervous
and procee led 10 cover. The groundwork OF
thor fear was a seasa iOnal dispatch published
after the board closed yes eriay afternoon 20
IN eiect that Ruesla had captured the ap-
pr0aches 10 Cons.antinople and the city was al
their mercy. The result was an excited bull
calls sold up Be. The truth Vi the reOort WAS
positively denied this uOrning, hut the shorts
were too badly panic-sIrichcn to recover at once,
and their purchases caused moderate adyl.lce
In the carly dealings. Later, whom the
crowd got over Its scare. the selnng
became about as urgent IA the buying had pre-
vonsly been. ana In all the improvement was
soon lost, together with as much more on the
Other side. December opened w.. lower at
9j-sc. sold steadily up 10 0fAac broke % 99l4c,
rallied 20 95tsc.. but on renewed heavy selhng
went of 20 94l;c., iuc,uated narrowly, ana
closed weak AZ N-l6r., against Sot<c AZ the close

firm, selling up early partly In sympathy WITH
tho strong Keeling in wheat, but later II broke on

most nervous shorts hal apparently covered.

declined 70 49iSc., strengthened 70 5O3Sc., broke
TO i9tic., and closed steady at 40jsc. Oats were
again iirm early, but s0ftened little later Ia
thu day. Heavy export buying Is still reported.
Some dispatches, however, deny the Russian
prohibition on which the wheat market g0t
strength yesterday. Tho close showed an al
vance Of lsal4c. compared with yesterday. Ho'
products were generally firm, largely In sym
patty with the early strength in grain, but
much Of the advance was lost during the last
hour. Pork shows an advance at the close CON-
