The morning call., 1894-10-23

effect OF a very heavy increase In the visible sup
ply governed the dealings for about fifteen MN
at the opening.
Following that and previous TO the receipt of
the visible statement there was some buying
AGAINST puts ana oy timia shorts which enaplea
prices TO receive loss OF 3sc. That was followed
by weak spell, due to a report of some wheat
having been found by an Inspector on saturday
having weevii in 1t as il delivered to a vessel.
The weevil ceased TO bear she market after the
matter had become fifteen minutes old teie-
gram TO ST. Louis miller said the Argentine crop
was damaged to the extent of 80 per cent, and
that along with the frning closing cables
and some more business for export from seaboard
caused the market to rule firm in the afternoon at
some dlttle recovery from bottom quotations. De-
cember opened at 531s05314c, declinedto 527sc
recovered to 53c and then worked off TO So Isc.
After the visible supply statement was COM
plered the price until the close stuck closely
20 527sc, finishing at 527s@53c.
Corn was firm early and rather weak in the end.
May opened unchanged al 5014c, and became
gradually firm until 1t was worth 6014c and 501a
@5u55c, the ruling price for moment being 52c
Il worked off then TO 4B7sc about half an hour
latter price ruling near the end. Rather heavier
receipts than have recently been ruling and the
absence OF any but a very limited spring demand
were the cHiefreasons OF the easier Keeling which
prevailed in The latter half of the session. The
visible supply increased only 2oOOO as against
an Increase of $4,000 on the corresponding day
OF last year.

at 4612c; the closing price for May was DUG
