Close on Slight Changes-wheat and
Corn Essier Under the Influence of Bic
Receipts in the Northwest
CHICAGO. Nov. l9-Kaleidoscopfc changes
and general excitement marked the trading
to-day i'll provisions. Buges and slumps
succeeded each other. causing a general i'm
preston that the bull clique was working
up sentiment to slide out OF their holdings
Very little change from yesterdays closing
prices resulted in the end. The wheat and
corn markets were easier on heavy receipts
in the Northwest and selling from there.
December wheat is or Ac and May 5sc since
yesterday. Corn is unchanged for Novem-
Der and December, but about nc lower for
May.
The provision market was the focus for
many of the scalping crowd from the grain
pits. who found that hog products afforded
better opportunities than their usual spe-
cialtieS. The market opened easier under
the influence of rather heavier hog receipts
than had been looked for, but on John
Cudahy appearing as ready buyer of JAN
uary pork and lard there was sudden
change and prices began to work upward
rapidly. On the call the feature was the
free solling of January lard by Cudahv, who
disposed OF about 600 tierces Mt IS 50 in such
lots as were wanted. Counselman & Day
were good sellers OF January ribs early in
clique were confusing to the operators.
Cudahy was ut one time "a buyer and at an
other time seller, while Wright was drop
ping chunks OF product in the market every
lime it became radically bullish.
While the first sales of wheat were at
about the closing figures of last night, the
market ut once turned weak and continued
so, closing about at the bottom Tor the day
The arriv lls in the Northwest were heavy
having been nearly 2, 600 cars for two days
and Minneapolis was said to have gone off
-
city and other markets was cut off, An
other reason for the weakness was the fact
that the bulk OF the short interest covered
yesterday. The exports for the week. as
reported by Brddstreet's, would have been
more encouraging perhaps had not the same
authority estimated the available supply at
96, ,s31, 900 bushels. Leopold Bloom is said to
have dumped his holdings as soon as the
market opened.
The feature OF the corn market was de-,
maEd for December corn, which infused
more spirit into the trades.
There was hardly anything doing in oats
barely enough to cause range OF Nc in the
price of the active future.
