CHICAGO. Sept 25.-Under a heavy in
Crease In the visible supply, wheat went
down with bump today, making pew
low price record for December at as
cents. That delivery closed 4 cent lower
than yesterday. May corn closed 4 cent
lower, May oats = cent lower. aud pro-
visions finished at declines all around.
The receipts of 80 cars of wheat at Duluth
was the most notable feature of the news
before the traders at the opening of the
markets. Wheat opened weak at from
545l@54T cents for December against 5S$l
cents at the close yesterday. 1t had a
further slight decline 10 81 $685. cents,
and then recovered until it WIS
in demand at 54I cents about an
hour from opening. Some of the better
feeling was due to the strength which
was developed by the corn market Be
sides the $50 cars of wheat at Duluth.
Minneapolis reported 3l6 cars. making
l.066 cars compared with 564 cars at both
places yesterday. Liverpool was quoted
firm, but with very limited demand.
Paris was quoted as opening at slightly
lower prices and Berlin at half mark adj
vance. The business in the pits was very
small, and but little for account of out
side customers. Notwithstanding the album
dant pasturage, kilograms and letters from
the country were again taken up largely
with accounts OF the continuance of
the feeding of wheat on a very liberal
scale. The receipts at primary markets
today, including those at Kansas City,
amounted to 922, 900 bushels. When Brad
streets visible supply was announced,
showing 2.25S000 bushels increase in the
stocks in this country, the market had an
other weak spell and the price declined
once more to its previously lowest point,
54ss cents for December and 594 cents for
May Business had two minute squirt of
activity at the time referred TO and then
became As dull as before. New Y ork wired
that there was no demand Tor export not
withdrawing the decline had reached 541l
cents, after establishing new low price
/ record at "a cents.
The INSPECTION of corn exceeded vester-
days estimate by 62 cars and that pro-
duced some weakness at the opening of
that market The first transactions in
May Were from 5l$I TO Sly cents against
5i5S cents at the end OF yesterdays SEES
sion. The ieelin. was heavy for a time
aud the tendency OF prices moderately
downward, but after selling at 5l15@5135
cents, tue market commenced TO do brtJ=r
east aud prospective smaller receipts here.
| The estimates of only $50 Cars for tomor-
row giving some confirmation to the
latter report, caused the shorts to make
some purchases, well as encouraging
some buying on long account. Attention
was called TO the fact that since August
20 the proportion of the visible supply
held in Chicago has very largely increased.
On the date mentioned the visible was
3. 066, 600 bushels, of which Chicago bad
LIS, 900 bushels. Now the total is 4, 296 900
bushels, 2,007 900 bushels Of which Is held
here. The buyers on yesterdays break
had "A good deal of corn TO sell near the
close and prices went down under the pres
sure The closing quotations for May was
5l$S cents.
Oats were extremely dull and the market
was back again in its old rut, closely fol-
lowing corn. The disposition TO dispose
or take in stuff was about equal aud Il
small scattered business was transacted.
An easier feeling existed early. May
started at cent lower at "a y cents,
shortly after 3415 at 3435 cents was bid
and then it sold off to 81 5 cents. At noon
il had rallied TO 341s cents. closing at 81 Is
cents.
The provision market was weak without
qualification. 1t started in limp condi-
ton and continued so until the end. The
last quotations were the lowest of the
days range. Hog receipts were again
light. The weakness near the close gave
the sellers some advantage. The declines
since yesterday in the January deliveries,
amount To 30 cents in pork, ls19 cents in
lard aud 10 cents in ribs.
