CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Wheat was weak
the greater part of today's session, but
near the end reports of heavy buying fol
export bracei up the market aud the mar
ket closed with cent gain. May corn
closed cent lower; May oats Il cent
lower, and provisions with but little
change.
Wheat started with a slight recovery
from yesterdays closing prices. but after
running for an hour in Il groove between
the opening figure and q cent
lower, it began TO drop an eighth,
sufficient 10 make fresh record.
December which opened at 55H cents
and sold sparing at 551s@5514 cents, had
declined before IL o'clock TO 545s cents.
May was a shade more difficult TO fnd
buyers than for December and touched
5953 cents few minutes in advance of the
latter month, reaching the same basis.
The opening temporary firmness was
caused by the number Of cars inspected in
store, owing to only 123 compared with 200
as estimated yesterday. That, however,
lost its effect when upon inquiry among
the receiving houses il was discovered that
the same difficulty still existed in
getting cars unIoaded as has been
complained of for month back.
Primary markets receipts were in the = @
gregate about 81. 900 bushels, which showed
some falling off compared with those of
the day before. Foreign markets were
weak. The second weak spell was the
result of more decided heaviness in corn.
Business had hen very light until the
pressure TO sell December at 545s cents be-
came urgent and that latter pressure
caused trading to become active and kept
1t so during the following fifteen minutes
while il WAS being beaten down 20 5455
cents. Reports of liberal buying for ex-
port caused a rally at the fuisn aud
December closed at 55E cepts
Corn ruled heavy COMPARED with its
closing value of yesterday. There was
some resistance TO the decline on account
of the receipts undermining the estimated
by $50 cars. This was ascribed 10 tie
crowded condition of the railroads and
scarcity of storage. snd caused loss to
only those who had ascribed a little bull
force to it Receipts in bushels were oil
$50 compared with 544 1873 bushels received
Oh the corresponding day of last year. The
offerings OF No. new corn TO
arrive in November aud Decem Der
are increasing. Philadelphia advices
reported liberal offerings of new corn
from Maryland and Delaware TO arrive
III November at prices lower IMAM the
above quotations. These severa items of
news were not reassurlng and the heavy
feeling which resulted in the decline
already referred to continued. May sold
at 50 to cents simultaneously at the
opening aud from that down to 5l5s cents
before any substantial recovery took place.
Some buying at this point caused a rally
and May flushed at 521s cents.
Oats continued TO decline, influenced
principally by a like action in the corn
market. Business was of fair volume,
although trades were all rather
small. The disposition TO sell re-
manned very urgent. Elevator con-
Germs were most prominent in Offering
stuff. Buying orders We're fairly pIenti-
FIJI, confined almost entirely however. TO
5000 bushel lots aud scattered chiefly
among local parties and scalpers. May
started at 3+55 cents. sold TO 30 cents and
then declined o 34$$4 cents, closing at 81 Is
cents.
The provision market was firm. but very
dull. There was no marked pressure to
sell or desire to buy. The Anglo-Ameri-
can Packing company and Hauely Broth
ers were the sustaining buyers but they
did great deal more bidding than buy
ing. Compared with yesterday. there is
an advance OF l2]5 cents in lard and pork
and ribs are as they closed yesterday.
