Chicago, Oct. l2.-There was but a slug
gish trade in wheat to-day, no topic of in
terest presenting itself, and spectators
failed to get beyond AQ$sc until quite
near the end of the session, when some
frmness came from report that an I'M
usually good demand for cash wheat had
sprung up in Minneapolis. This was the
excuse for prices getting &c beyond the
previous boundaries, but it was more like
ly a desire on the part of a few scattered
shorts" to cover their deals, the low
price leading the theory that a further
decline was improbable, although, at the
same time there was hardly any reason
for an improvement. December wheat
opened from 525sc to 52s4C, sold between
621s452ssc and 5Sc closing at the top-a
was quiet.
Corn-Scalpers and. local traders were
about the only people doing business in
corn to-day, 1t was a narrow, unimpor-
tant market, with the opening easy and
the close firm. May opened from 1919 to
1850, sold between 4914c and 1890, closing
trife over yesterday at 499sG49A. Cash
corn was steady.
Oats-The every day story of sympathy
defined the course of prices in this market.
May oats closed bQAc higher than yes
terday. Cash oats showed no essential
change.
MISUNDERSTANDING orders predominated
by a ratio of four to one in product to-
day. This state of affairs made itself
felt after a weaker opening on cheaper
hogs was made. Prices rallied on the de-
mand, packers and commission men be-
ing unanimous in their efforts to buy. The
close was &c higher than yesterday for
January pork, 21A05c higher for January
lard and 56D71ac higher for January ribs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
