Chicago. oct 4.-The war rumors had pretty
well expended their force by the opening hour
| in the grain market To-Day. There was, how
! ever, lingering feeling Of uneaSness among
| the shorts which could be only allayed by
covering, This they did early, after which,
| things became easier, the crowd who were
| bulllshlJ inclinedi waiting for something TO
| crop out that would help both them ami the
| price. This was found in the ca 81 wheat side
! of the house, where whispers OF business was
| heard which later resolved themselves into
| positive declaration of sales of about 3l6 900
bushels of spring wheat for early spring ship
! ments to Buffalo. Its final destination not be-
! ing made public The good news soon became a
| popular subject for discussion, starting some
! buying for long account, which led the shorts
| to believe That safety depended on flight
! Prices became Duoyant and at the close were
! within NC of the top, with gain Of lc for the
| day. DecemCef wheat opened at 539sc, ranged
| from 53c05414c and rested at sic. The car lot
| market was firm, sales being made at un.
! changed prices The close was nominally 19c
! higher
! Corn-There was still feelingof uneasIness
| In corn. When the market opened some doubt
! as to the political situation abroad loading TO
| lmpart a nervous tone to the market The buy
| ing by shorts was prominent but when that
class Of buying was exhausted decline set in
| which carried prices 10 the lowest point OF the
session but still not as low as they closed last
| night. An improvement In the cash demand
! light receipts and light estimates for to NOR
! row with the unexpected bulge in wheat all
! combined to strengthen prices later. The close
was strong with May lac higher. May corn
]
| 49a{GD49bc and 5i05l1fc, closing at 5OEc. Cash
! corn was 4 per bushel higher.
Oats obeyed the direction OF wheat and corn,
advancing and declining with them. There
| was nothing of Independence in their action
and little of feature 10 the trade. AT the close
| May was sc higher than yesterday Cash oats
! we're strong and M@5ac per bushel higher
! Provisions-The strength OF grain before the
! close was the only saving influence In this mar
! ket. Until the rally from that cause came
! auout. there was weakness anu depression Of
! the most intense character to product. That
/ the cash demand Is so light eXciGes great deal
! OF comment for the reason that, AZ this season
! the inquiry from the south and from England
! should be at its BEST These markets are. how
] ever Oyerstocked and the consumption is SO
/ Eight as to do little toward depicting the sup.
