CHICAGO Nov. 9-Kaleidoscopic chang ees
and general excitement marked the trading
to-day in provisions. Bulges and slumps
succeeded each other causing general inn
preston that the bull clique was working
up sentiment to slide out o. their holdings
Very little change irum 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 off sc and May nc since
yesterday. Corn is unchanged for Novem-
ber and December, but about nc lower for
May.
The provision market was the focus for
many of tho 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 a sudden
change and prices began to work upward
rapidly. On the call the feature was the
free selling of January lard by Cudahv, who
disposed of about COO tierces at IS 50 in such
lots as were wanted. Counselman Day
were good sellers OF January ribs early in
the session. The operations OF the bull
clique were confusing to the operators.
Cudahy was at one time a buyer and at an
other time seller, while Wright was drop
ping chunks of product in the market every
time il became radically Dullish.
While the first sales of wheat were at
about the closing figures of last night, the
market at once turned weak and continued
SO, closing about at the bottom Tor the day
The arriv his in the Northwest were heavy,
having been nearly . 900 cars for two davs,
and Minneapolis was said to have gone of
ic yesterday while communication with this
city and other markets was cut of. 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 BfudStreetS would have been
more encouraging perhaps had not the same
authority estimated the available supply at
IS S3l 90 bushels. Leopold Bloom is said to
have dumped his holdings as soon as the
market opened.
The feature OF the corn market was a de-
maEd for December corn, which infused
more spirit into the trades.
There was hardly anything doing in oats
barely enough to cause a range OF Kc in the
price OF the active future.
Freights steady with a fair demand for
vessel room at s1zc for wheat and 21Ic for
corn to Buffalo.
