Chicago, Oct H.-Bradstreets report OF
available stocks to-day was called bullish
because it showed an increase of 2,37S,000
bushels, where traders in wheat had been
specializing on the hypothesis that it
would give an increase of 5000, 900 bushels
or therea bouts Whilst the bulk of to-
days business was transacted at prices
varying from unchanged quotations to u
decline the closing and last hour pre-
sented firm tone and gain, although
a slight one, over yesterdays final figures
December wheat opened from 52A to 52Is
d52A, sold between 523sc and 511hc, closing
at 52Ac-a shade over yesterday. Cash

II.
fiected the action of wheat, although
higher prices at the opening were due to
receipts of but rs cars, the estimate calling
for 100. Firmness at Liverpool was of as
sista-lce at the start. The shorts" who
covered yesterday, put out their lines early
to-day and later bought back with indif-
ferent success. May corn opened al 49lac,
sold down to 487sGD49c; rallied to 49fsU
49lac, where it closed-lsc higher than yes
terday.
Oats-Nothing of Importance developing
to affect the oats market, IL sympathized
with wheat and corn, more especially the
latter. The opening prices were firm and
higher, decline followed by an advance
with strength, was noted at the close
May closed Ac higher than yesterday
Cash oats were Nc higher.
PROFESSIONALISM a firm and higher hog
market, late reports being even better
than the first there was a good tone to
product when early trades were made
Firmness was not lasting, however, yes
terdays buyers displaying too much
anxiety to sell. The turn for the better
in grain influenced provisions along to-
ward the close, and the early loss was en-
tirely Eecovered. The close was 21kc higher
than Yesterday for January pork IN
chan,Sd for January lard and a trife
higher for January ribs.
