CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-Good export de.
mand and firmness abroad again helped
the grain markets today. December
wheat closed sc higher, May corn &c
higher and May oats &c higher. Pro-
visions were generally firm.
Wheat had strong, but not very
lively start. First trades we're at about
&c advance over the closing price of
the day before. Sellers were rather
scarce, and further advance at the
opening was only stopped by the mod
esty of the demand. The bulls. while
rendered more hopeful by the liberal
purchases for export Of the day before,
had a wholesome dread of what was
sized addition to the visible on Mon
day. Duluth wired that stocks there
would show an increase of 945,OOO bu,
and Minneapolis guessed the weeks in
crease at that point at 100000 blu.
Receipts here for the day were l42 cars.
Minneapolis reported $50 carloads and
Duluth 339, making 500 together, COM
pared with 1,S10 on the corresponding
day of the previous year. The weeks
clearances from both coasts, according
to Bradstreet's. amounted in wheat and
flour to $4,000 bu. against 3.3l7, 900 bu
on the week before, and 2, FOG, 900 bu for
the corresponding week of the year be-
fore. The cablegrams reported firmness

; closed yesterday at 52ss@52a4c,openeda at
| from 52X953c. sold as high as 5314c for
| a moment near the middle of the session
| for one or two fveS and kept close to
| SIC during the remainder of the day
| There was some weakness due to doubts
entertained of the genuinenesS of yes
terday's reported heavy business for ex-
! port and from the fact of the days
| clearances of wheat from Atlantic ports
being confined to 1881 bu from Phila-
| delphia. The days flour exports were
| 40.l72 Ibbls. Primary market receipts,
i including those at Kansas City, were
| 753, $50 bu. The closing cables came
! strong and at good advances at all
| points. The market here was at its best
near the close, with trading quite gen.
eral at 534c and as high as $3.50 paid
for little. 1t closed at 531lc bid.
The corn market was firm and higher

price, and did not lose that gam during
the subsequent fluctuations. 1t became

at the highest point of the days range
and &c over the price it closed at yes
terday.l For May, SOC was the genera
opening price, although few sales a
lJY were recorded. 1t rose to 5015@
5O14c, and dropped back to soc, witt
| another advance near the close. which
left the value at 504c. The demane

Business in oats was quiet during thu
