CHrcaso. Sept. 25.-Wheat opened weak,
al from 5slsG4Sse for December. against
Sis4c 1T the close yesterday. IL had
further slight decline, TO 54ss@54l<c. and
then recovered until IL was in demand al
Ss.c, about an hour from the closing.
Some OF the better feeling was due TO the
strength which was developed By the corn
market. Besides the $50 cars of wheat at
Duluth, Minneapolis reports Si6. making
together .oa6. compared with 564 cars at
both places year ago. Liverpool was
quoted firm, but with q limited demand.
Paris was quoted "a opening az slightly
lower prices. and Berlin at q y mark
advance. The business in the pits was
very small, and but little was for the &C
count OF outside customers. Sotwith-
standing the abundant pastursge. tele-
grams from the country were again flied
up largely with accounts of the continu-
ance OF the milling of wheat on
very liberal scale. The receipts at
primary markets today. inciud-
ing Kansas City, amounted to o., 90
bushels. When Bradstrect's visible was
announced, showing 2.25sooo bushels in
crease in the stock in this country the

for May. Business had two-minuie
squirt of activity at the time referred to,
and then became as dull as before. New

was heavy for time. and the tendency of
prices was moderately downward, but
after selling st 81 14G5issc the market COM
menced TO do better under the reports of a
better demand from the East and prospect
i've small receipts here. The estimate of
only $50 cars for tomorrow. giving
confirmation to the latter report. caused
the shorts to make hurried purchases.

August 10. the proportion Of visible supply
In Chicago has very greatly increased.
