CHICAGO, October 2-On the whole the
dealing developed to-day in the wheat
market was weaker and fuctuating,
due to various causes. The drouth
continues, although it is cloudy nearly all
over the winter wheat country, but indi-
cations were generally for colder weather.
This. together with higher cables, and a
renort that the Russian Government had
nrohibited the exports of all grain, except
wheat. had the effect Of holding the market
pretty steady during the early part OF the
day. Before the close the market became
strong, and the closing was about XaJsc
lower than Saturday. Corn was strong
and higher. Oats, weak. Hog products
we're active and higher. Flour was un
