Chicago, Nov. "a little boom in wheat
took place to-day, which, although show
ing no very great advance in prices, was
held 10 be an evidence of changing senti-
ment and the beginning of the long looked
for recovery. it was not quite clear what
the strength was due to, but it was plain
to be seen that the local talent were work
ing on the long side. December wheat
opened at 53lsc, sold from 53u53sc to $500
539se, closing at 53l2c-l4c higher than yes
terday Cash wheat was strong and 1Ac
per bushel higher
Corn acted Independently of wheat
during the entire half holiday session. As
the wet and rainy weather of the past few
days was largely responsible for the
strength and advance, so, in like manner
did the fine clear weather and forecast for
a continuation OF IT reduce the market to
the condition previously ruling Weakness
was the tone all day receiving emphasis
from a prospective heavy movement next
ing taken as a precursor Of what was to
follow; May corn opened from 513sc to
9lt8G, declined to 5OBc, and closed at Sic
Zee lower than yesterday. Cash corn was
ste9dy at unchanged prices.
Prices of oats declined in sympathy with
those of corn. Weakness ruled from the
noteworthy business being transacted
May closed &c lower than yesterday Cash
oats sold about Ac under yesterday.
ProVlsions-Product was very weighty
to-day. 1t was not so much the pressure
of offerings, although there was plenty for
sale, as the fear of some long stuff com
ing out that caused the depression in the
market. The weakness in corn was also
a factor of some Importance and tended
TO check any inclination to buy. Beyond
steadylng prices temporarily at the start
a firm hog market was of no avail as an
influence. The close was 12l5c lower than
yesterday for January pork and TIC lower
each Tor January lard and January ribs
Leading futures ranged as follows:
