Chicago, Oct 23.-Dullness was supreme
in all the speculative markets on the
board of trade to-day. A few minutes OF
moderate activity marked the close, but
the trade at that time was mainly due to
a desire on the part of shorts to cover
their outstanding contracts. In wheat
the trade was light and of little conse-
quence, the crowd holding OF all morn
ing in authorization of the Bradstreet re-
ports on the worlds Visible supply, but
failing to exert themselves even after II
became D1blic December wheat opened
from 525sc to sac, sold between 52izc ana
527sm53c, closing at the outside-a shade
over Yesterday. Cash wheat was easier,
sales averaging &c lower. .., s,,.
Some energy was impaired TO corn our
ing the closing quarter of an hour by re-
norted sales Of $4,000 bushels for ship
ment, some OF IL SAID 70 pc LOT dlrect eN-
port Previous to that line the business
dragged and prices merely held steady al
a trtding loss made at the opening. May
corn opened at 4974c, sold between 4y2sc
higher Than Yesterday. Cash corn was
Mc lower during the active trading hours,
The nominal close being strong.
oats mirrored the inactive and easy
tone of the other markets, closing firm
like them, but with no change from yes
terday in prices The range was narrow
and very little interest was taken In the
trade Cash oats were Ad1zc lower, while
grades showed tn egreatest weakness.
Provisions-The offerings OF product
were not large, but they were greater
tha, tho demand could conveniently alb
sorb so there was a moderate decline
The hog market. which opened firm, af'
forward became weak and the latter feel
ing made itself apparent In provisions
The ruling weakness IN grain was also
! reflected. At the close January pork wa.
/ nc lower than yesterday, and January
lard and ribs each Sc lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
