CHICAGO, Oct. lS.-Better tables. larger
clearances, smaller receipts and better eX-
port demand, seut wheat up q cent today,
but large offerings at the close weakened
the market and May finished by 4 higher.
Corn and oats closed practically un-
changed and provisions with slight Losses.
Wheat opened cent over yesterday
closing price. The cablegraIIs were more
encouraging than Tor some time past.
The Cincinnati Price Current says the
market for winter wheat WAS still re-
stricted and the feeding of it.maintained.
After some selling against calls had
caused slight shading OF the first
advance, New York infused a little
more spirit into the bulls by
wire that there were some foreign buy
ing orders there from the continent, upon
which information another cent per
bushel was added TO he gain with which
the market opsned Primary market re-
ceipts were smaller than on any previous
day, and the Atlantic port ciearancrs were
larger. December wheat opened at 521 !
cents, sold sparinglv at 522s cents, aud
after reactinG to 523s cents, IL rose to % -
cents. The presence of wheat IN the New
York clearanceS WAS somewhat disap-
pointing 10 bulls and cooled their ardor
again aud was down again to 52s5@52l
cents about 1l:30 a. IN. Although good
deal of selling out by scalpers caused COM
parative weakness now aud then, the
market made higher reactions after each
decline. The death of the ameer of At
ghauistaD, damage TO the Argentine wheat
crop confirmed, and a repetition of the
early reports from New York of good de-
mand from the continent were the latter
influences which put December up to %
cents. Offerings Increased near the close
and the market declined TO moderate ex-
tent, December flushing at 521Z cents.
Corn averaged firmer. 1t started with
some trading at tue price it stopped at
yesterday, aud a little at cent per bushel
higher. the better feeling was
due in part TO the frmness of
wheat. The daily reports of
disappointing results from huskinGs
We're continued and those Game today from
Illinois, Iowa and Ohio in greater mum Der
than before. The principal bearish factor
was said to be the seeming indifference of
the eastern consumers who don't appear
to view the light stocks with alarm. The
days fluctuations for May delivery were
confined within the limits OF 4955@495s
cents, the latest trading being at 1875 q 49,
cents or l-l6 cent lower than 1t closed yes
terday.
Trading in oats was quiet and confined
almost entirely to scalperS ana local par
ties. A slightly firmer feeling existed in
sympathy with corn. May started 1T 325s
cents sold as low as 32l cents, as high
32$ cents aud again was selling at 90 a
1925 cents, closing at 81 "a - cents.
Liberal receipts of hogs caused heavi-
ness in the provisions market but very
little trading resulted. Fluctuations We're
narrow as "A result of a general disiuclina-
ton TO do business. The leaders refrained
from leading aud their followers stood
still. Prices started with a decline of
cents in pork. lard and ribs, and that rep
resented at the close the result OF the days
business in lard aud ribs, pork losing an
other 255s cents.
