CHICAGO, Nov. S5.--Business was light
in all of the grain pits on tho Board of
Trade to-day. Traders were inclined to
even up their deals IN view of the fact that
tomorrow will be o holiday. The news
affecting the price of wheat was generally
bearish; cables were weak and lower; the
accumulations in Great Britain showed o
heavy increase during the past week in
spite of o decrease In the shipments from
Russia to England; receipts OF the lead
ing points in the country were heavy,
and the export clearances at the seaboard
were only moderate. December opened at
924 69olac, against 924sc at the close
yesterday and remained quite steady for q
time: then, under q f0ir demand from
shorts" to- realize profits. the market
grew firm and advanced to $3.50. A report
was then received that New York foreign,
ers were free sellers there; local longs
were also found to be unloading, and
Ream. Cudahy. kent. aud other bears"
were said To be putting out lines. These
offerings broke the price to &c. During
the last hour, however, there was O rally
&c 92sso OIL the strength of a dispatch from
New York, saying a cablegram was pub
lished to the effect that Russia will have to
import about O.. 0OO,O 600 bushels OF wheat to
supply the wants of the nation and that
tho Minister of the Interior had been dis
missed by the Gear for cOncealing the
gravity of the situation so long and allow.
ing SO much wheat to be exported. While
this report was not confirmed. it made
traders nervous and the close was nearly
at the ~top-92lsc.
The strength in November corn contin-
ned. There was very little TO be had. and
the price was advanced from Coo to 73c.
with very limited transactions. A reac-
ton followed to Tic. and then another
bulge, which carried the price to 75c, at
which it closed. There were rumors that
some of the largest dealers lat effected
private settlements at 72c. but tine market
did not show it. Year corn started at 47aSc,
sold to Aisle, broke To 1880. rallied to and
closed at 47l4c. May was steady at from
423sc to 434c.
Oats were quiet and steady throughout
the session. Hog products were inclined TO
weakness during the forenoon. but tiImed
up some during the last hour and closed
with insignificant changes from yesterdays
last figures. The early weakness was due
to the large receipts of hogs. and the sub
seQuent tirmness to the latest strength In
grain. The board will close tomorrow
Thanksgiving day. Tho leading futures
ranged as follows:

More Favorable Weather for Corn Shipments
Heavy Receipts During the Next Ten Days.
On Change yesterday the wheat market
ruled easier. Corn was firmer and oats
steady. The receipts were light. Six car
loads of wheat were inspected, all of which
graded No. 2 red; also. five cars of corn. of
which two were No. 3 white. one No. 4
white and two No. 4 yellow. In addition.
one car of rejected white oats and one car
of No. l timothy hay were inspected.
Buyers for export report the market for
corn not quite so good, being 1R04o of.
Receipts are picking up owing to improve
ment in weather. which enables farmers to
wagon their grain in. Shippers who were
holding Oft are beginning to ship. as the
damp weather was unfavOrable. The offer
iDgs of old corn are light on account of tho
Chicago corner. as every one is trying to
get his corn IN for November delivery. This
must be done by Saturday in order TO be in
tine elevator in time for certificates to be
issued on Monday. IL the weather contin-
ues good for the next ten days the receipts

amounts to only s per cent. of this
immense volume of business. Mr..
Carnegie is right in regard to the
credit basis. The business of the
country is transacted on 81 per cent.
of credit and per cent. of money.
The gold advocates are opposed to
increasing the money circulation and
favor contracting and expanding the
credit to meet the decrease or increase
of the business. They have been
contracting the credit for the past
year and this is the cause of so many
failures in the country, and why
Europe has drawn from this country
lately $40, 100000 gold to sustain de-
Ginning credit. The Bank of Eng
land has lately bought all of the sur
plus silver in Europe, and now wants
SIS, 900, 900 of silver from this country.
Having control OF the gold and of
the market, England can buy at
the present prices 348 grains of silver
for 70 cents. This is coined into a
rupee, the rupee buys one dollars
worth of India wheat, which knocks
off q cents on the price of wheat in
this country. The idea is held out
to the farmers of this country that
they will soon get a dollar bushel
for their wheat. 1t is a deception.
Not as long as India wheat holds out
and the Englishman can get our
silver to buy it with wheat will not,
cannot, advance. A short crop in
Europe may bring it up and nothing
else can but free silver.
