MARKET REPORTS.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Wheat attempted
to advance today. aided by lighter re-
ceipts and better cables, but was
hit hard by the big increase in the vLsi-
BILE supply and closed unchanged for De-
cember May corn closed CSC higher.
May oats was unchanged and provisions
at slight declines.
Wheat got a good start from the favor
able nature Of the early news affecting
IL. The foreign markets were all quoted
somewhat higher. The receipts here and
IN the northwest were comparatively
small and there was a substantial de-
crease in the amount on ocean passage.
Another material advance in the visi-
bic somewhat cooled the budding ell
thusiasm of the bulls as the figures
were being received. Primary market
receipts, including those at Kansas city,
were only $4,000 bushels and export
clearances from Atlantic ports since the
preceding report cleared the equivalent
of 100000 bushels. n dispatch from San
Francisco reported 10000 tons of the
syndicate stock of wheat there as having
been posted as weevilly, that was gener-
ally regarded a bulliSh point Stocks
in Liverpool are $50. 900 bushels smaller
than they were on Sept. /. The visible
supply increased 1,22400O bushels last
week and now amounts to 1,4S,OOO
bushels, against 6O,52S,0O bushels year
ago. Chicago stocks in regular elevators
are 227 900 bushels less than they Were
on the previous Monday. December
started strong an 54c, against 53A 4533sc
at the close on Saturday, and continued
firm until the increase in the visible be
gan 10 force itself upon the notice or the
crowd. Partridge and bennington We're
free sellers at above 54c, supposed 10 De
for Rosecrans and Baldwin Farnum were
liberal sellers also for New York princi-
pals il was guessed. the advance Gull
minated at 54Hc and afterward the price
receded TO 5S9sQ53%c. Closing cables
were firm, with the exception that one
very reliable private Liverpool message
said: Holders unable TO sustain the ad-
vance" December at the close was at
$3.50. Corn was firm at the opening and
continued strong during the greater part
OF the session. although the full amount
Of the early gain was not retained TO the
close. Receipts were smaller than had
been estimated on Saturday and the es-
Inmates for tomorrow were even lighter
than today's receipts. That apparent
confirmation Of what had previously been
heard of as diminishing receipts at inter
Tor points was the main cause OF the
stronger tone which prevailed. The visi-
BILE supply increased $4,000 bushels, COM
pared with an increase of AL 900 in the
corresponding week of last year Chi-
cago stocks are 2.2420O0 bushels. or 2S9,-
600 bushels more than a week ago, and
the total In the visible is 1905, 600 bushels,
compared with SOL 900 last year. Cash
offerings were very light and the de-
mand for round lots Of No. in store,
good. May opened at from 50Ac to 509sc,
advanced gradually to 511sc and then de-
clined to 50ssc, closing at 505s65O%c.
The oats market was fairly active
one throughout the entire session. Ship
pers were taking the greater part Of the
stuff, most Of which was being handed
out by local parties. Darlington Hannah
disposed of a good deal. May was taken
today and cash being disposed OF. Values
were firm on May early and eased Off
later. At the start IL so;d from $3.50 %
34c, touched 34hc and sold down to 33&c
Sympathy with corn and free offerings
were principally influential I'm causing
the decline. May closed at 33sc.
The provision market was quiet and
rather firm until about twenty minutes
fro1 the close, when prices broke on free
selling and left the market lower. The
receipts of hogs were $4,000. and only 49,
0C0 are estimated for tomorrow. Pork
for January sold at &c above Saturdays
closing prices, but later broke 1212c and
at the close a &c decline was established
for the day. Lard and ribs pursued a
similar course with a loss OF &c each as
the result.
Freights steady at 11kc for wheat. 1850
for corn and 11&c for oats to Buffalo,
11sc for oats to Midland, 215c for corn to
Kingston.
