| CHICAGO, Oct. 2O-Good export demand
ana firmness abroad again helped the grain
markets today. December wheat closed
%5 cent higher, May corn = cent higher
and May oats Il ceuu higher. Provisions
were generally firm.
Wheat had a strong, but not very lively
start. First trades were at about Is cent
| advance over the closing of the day before.
| Sellers were rather scarce and a further
! advance at the opening WAS only stopped
by the modesty of the demand Duluth
wired that stocks there would show 95. 00C
bushels increase and Minneapolis guessed
the increase at that point at 7e0. coo bushels.
Receipts here for the day were 4l2 cars.
! Minneapolis reported 543 cars and Duluth
500. making So cars altogether, compared
with ], 3l0 on the correspondih. day of the
previous week. The weeks clearances
! from both coasts, according to Brad
| streets, amounted in whear and -four to
| 3. l92, coo bushels against 3, 81. 900 bushels
| the week before and =, 109. 600 for the CORE
spending week of the year before. Decem-
| ber, which closed yesterday at 52Zd3L
| cents. opened at from 527s@53 cents, so.d
| as high as So cents for moment near
the middle of the session, and kept close to
53 cents during the remainder
OF the day. There was some
weakness due to doubts entertained OF the
geuuineness of yesterdays reported heavy
business for exports and from the fact of
he days ciearances of wheat from Atlau-
tic ports being confined to 2937 bushels
from Philadelphia. The days -four ex-
port WAS 40. 7l2 barrels. The closing cables
Came strong and at good advances. The
market here WAS at its best near the close
The corn market was firm and higher.
1t opened d cent over yesterdays close
and did not lose that gain during the sub
seQuent fluctuations. 1t became stronger
near the close and wound up at the high
est point of the days range and y cent
over the price iJ closed at yesterday.
For May 30 cents was the general opening
priceEalthough a few sales at 49T cents
were made. Ii rose to 501sC84 ceuIs and
dropped back to 80 cents with another ad-
vance uear the close which left the value
ut 50l cents. The demand for through
billeu corn was active at an advance equal
to the gain in futures. The limit for 80
cents for May corn loOsened a good many
orders to sell No. g. and No yellow to ar
rive. which had been tied. to a discount of |
4 and cents respectively under May, as |
soon as the latter should be quoted at 80 |
cents. About 250, 600 bushels of No. and |
No. yellow to arrive in November and |
December was contracted Tor. Receipts !
here today l47 cars; estimates for Monday, |
200 cars
Business in oats was quiet during the |
entire session. Prices were shade |
hrmer, due to like feeling in corn.
The provision market sJeadied Itself |
after IA slight break at the opening aud |
worked gradually upward after that
closing with gain of "a cents in pork
and about % cents in ribs Lard did no5
get quite up to its closing price of the day
before. IL rested at decline for the day
at y cents. Hogs receipts today We're
1000. The estimated run for
is $4,000. Freights slow;
corn aud barley at | cent to Buffalo.
