Chicago, Oct Sit was difficult to de-
termine just what effect Bradstreets re-
port had on the wheat market to-day
There were any number of advances and
declines TO prices and very little consid-
Grafton was given to anything but that
report During the morning hours the
trade was anticipatory and after the noon
hour the market first advanced and then
declined, finally closing quite well at al
most the extreme inside figures of the
the worlds available stocks were larger
by 1856 900 bushels than they were a
looked for and at most trades had been
placed before the announcement was made
The latter action OF prices was based on
sentiment Yesterdays advance found
few supporters at the opening to-day. and
the course OF the market at the start was
downward followed by a rally, and the
later irregularty as stated. December
wheat opened from 52es to 529sM52@4c. sold
between 527A and 52A&5294c. closing a ( 52ssc
Essdi5c under yesterday. Cash wheat was
steady at unchanged prices
Corn. Notwithstanding several strong
spots in to-day's corn market there was
"a conspicuous absence of the vim and
snap OF yesterdays trade. At the open
ing there was an all round desire 10
realize. The decline which ensued was
foilowed by a rally later, a very erractic
rnovernent to prices taking place. At the
close the tone was weak at the lowest
poInt OF the session. May corn opened
from 5ii5 TO 5lhMMc, sold between 5Obs&,
5ibc. closing at 503sd50ssc--7sc under yes
terday Cash corn was steady for new.
and 1c lower for old;
Oste-The oats market kept on the heels
of the other grains throughout the sss-
sion not advancing or declining however
as much as they did. The tone was sInnilsr
in ali cases and the close was weak nj a
decline OF sc from yesterday for Nav
oats averaged iac higher the close he
ing nominally easier
Provisions-The live hog market was
encouragingly strong and higher bofh
early and late product took the lnc@ntive
thsrefrom at the start. When grain he
came weak there was an inclination Ia
decline IN provisions and prices lost n
portion OF their early gain. The close
was PIC higher than yesterday each for
January pork, January lard and Januarv
ribs
