CHICAGO. Oct. Platter a strong opening In the
wheat and corn markets they became weak ana
closed with respective losses OF 14c and CSC per
bushel. The oats and provision markets were
even heavier than wheat and corn. Oats lost 1sc
and pork 35c barrel The weakness in wheat
largely caused by heavy Northwestern re-
