Chicago. III. Sept. i3.--rhe wheat
market was easier at first. because
OF the slumpy character Of corn, and
later. owing to the failure OF the prl-
mary market receipts to continue the
indications Of the previous two days
that they had passed their Hood tide
and had commenced to ehb. December
wheat opened with sellers at 81 Lie
aud very soon It had declined to SIC.
Later It got down to Sc s-sc. ana seem
ed to become attached to those figures
for time. The reports from the coun-
try about the feeding Of wheat In pre-
ference to corn We're as numerous and
unanimous as ever regarding ,the in
ereasing tendency to give the cheaper
material to the hogs. ana the good
demand reported as existing In New
York for export. with twenty-five boat
loads reported worked there, and at
outports there was n recovery In the
market here TO 81 Lie FOR December and
It closed 81 i-Se bid.
Corn was weak. The statisticians
and crop experts jumped on 1t with
both feet. John 1nglis, the crop eN-
pert, was quoted as saying that the
states of Illinois, Indiana, ohio and
Missouri would have iO0000.00O bushels
more than the government gave for
the thirteen states OF heaviest produc-

In the oats market, while the feel

OF the session. big business was trans

S6c, closing at 30 i-Sc.
The provision market was weak. like
the others, The henviness IN grain had
some influence In depressing provisions.
but the weakness was principally due
to the action OF the packers, whose

mpnt or two at the opening, nut soon
