CHICAGO, Oct S.-The bullsh enthusiasm
with which trading closed yesterday caused
everything to open stronger this morning. but
this feeling soon elsed out, aud for the re-
mander of the day the course of prices was
generally downward, with the c.ose in all of the
trading pits at or near the lowest figures
W heat furnished the trade with a genuine sur
prise. At the start looked very strong and fora
few minutes everybody was looking for an
excited and buoYant market. But change
quickly followed, and was an unexpected
event. The opening price of December was
9934c 10 81 CO.'S and TIE latter was the top
figure After q few minutes wheat began TO
COME out, and the crowd was staggered by the
magnitude of the Offering aad private cables
coming in lower, and good rains reported in tle
winter wheat belt vita clearing weather in the
northwest prices began to tumble. The bulls
lost heart at once aud fastened to get rid of
their wheat. Short sellers raided the market
viciously, and 1t did not take ten min
utes TO send prices back to 9)c,
and finally 9S8sc was touched. There was
slight reaction, but the market continued heavy,
saggng off to 954c in the last hour and closing
weak at 9SBc Cora started stronger and higher,
partly in sympathy with tne strength in wheat,
but largely in small receipts, only seventy-six
cars being ported where 100 had been ex-
pected. October sold early at 5iIsc aud
up to 55c. Taen realizing sales became
free, and wheat making its big
break corn followed. october sold
off to SIC, reacted to 5l3sc and fell to 5354c
The market then steadied for a time, but re
sumed its downward course during the after
noon, closing at the bottomiprics, 535sc, against
541sc yesterday. Oats were firm early, with
otler graius, but weakened with them and sold
off later. Pr, visions were weak, mainly in
sympathy wlth Ger sals. Pork scored a decline
of i001116c. lard 2I9c.for October and January
while december was unchanged. Ribs were SC
higher for OCTOBER, unchanged for November
ami 2l6c lower for January.
