Chicago. Nov; S.-The holders Of wheat
position to-day, the news impartng in
creased confidence in values, after the sell
ing out of long stuff yesterday, the mar
ket evidently being in a strongly en-
tenched situation. The Cincinnati Price
| Currents summary gave some rather
startling information on the wheat feed
| ment report of S0,0O0,0O0 bushels used in
this manner, gave a particularly healthy
tone to prices. The pressure to sell was
noticeably great at different times but it
was stubbornly met and in the end al
though the inside quotations of the day
yesterday was shown at the close. There
was nothing of additional importance
heard, the routine items generally lean
ing to weakness. December wheat op-
ened from 53Aq537sc, advanced to 54l4c,
declined to 537sc, where it closed Lc high
er than yesterday. Cash wheat was steady
70 Ac per bushel lower business being
only moderate in that branch of the
trade.
Corn was decidedly weak during to-
| days session, the slight declines in wheat
affecting the tone unfavorably, but the
better feeling of that grain not appearing
| to reach the coarse article. The specu-
! lation in corn seems to have disappeared
| for the present at least, and this fact,
| with tho weakness in the cash market
| and the outlook for better weather, has
| curbed the enthusiasm of the bulls MAY
! corn opened at 50l2c, sold at 505sd502tc de-
! cljned to 49zsc and closed at 497ld50c-
1aQSsc under Yesterday Cash corn was
weak and i4Mlac lower.
! Oats.-The extremely narrow oats mar
| ket had no authority but the 1eeling of
! corn on which to base it's chances. For
! that reason, weakness was the ruling
! tone and moderately lower prices re-
! suited. May closed @s@1Rc under yester-
| day Cash oats averaged Ac lower, with
/ only light business.
! Provisions. s.-The selling of product yes
! terday was followed to-day by a unani-
nous desire to buy. Prominent packers
were taking most of the offerings caus-
! ing strength to prices after an easy open
! but later reports gave an improvement.
/ The strength of wheat extended to this
market, and some confidence came from
! the defeat of Mr. Hatch of anti-option
fame at the polls on Tuesday. The close
was strong, with January pork 22Jbc
higher than yesterday; January lard 16d
! 12l2c higher and January ribs 12ikc higher
