Chicago, oct. l5.-Wheat was very sick
to-day. Depressing items of news were
received from every quarter and an ah-
solute lack of confidence resulted. In
terest was principally centered in the
visible supply, and that statement may be
said to have been the main reason for
the loss of 1c, which the closing quotations
show. The estimates on the supply were
almost as far away from the exact lit
crease as they were on last Monday out
increase would take place, but the popular
figures 100000 bushels. The selling toward
support to the market. December wheat

prices were relatively lower; future sales
were made at decline of 4 to 14c.
Corn-The weakness of wheat overpow-
cred corn prices to-day, although the Wis
ible supply decrease was $500 bushels,
and the amount on ocean passage 96S 600
bushels; The receipts, although not fully
cars and larger estimates for tomorrow
point to further Improvement. There was
a car of new corn received today which
although not passing grade, because of
dampness, nevertheless, served to remind
the trade that the new crop was upon
them. May corn opened at 49Ac, declined
to 4S7sc, closing at the inside-5s of a cent
below Saturday. Cash corn was 15c lower
Oats were forced lower by the declining
tendency of wheat and corn. An increase
of 100000 bushels in the visible supply
abetted the weakness. The trade was de-
void of feature, business being dull most
of the session There were no withdraw
ais from store. May closed nc under Sat
urday. Cash oats were nc lower, through
sympathy with the futures.
Provisions-The packers and commission
houses were the best sellers of product
during the morning hours, but were en-
deavoring to keep prices from breaking
under the offerings. Scalpers were little
timid until after the visible supply on
wheat was posted. for fear that the stow
ing would cause an advance in that cereal
and sympathetcally affect product, but
when grain became so intensely weak
they cast aside caution and sold freely
The close was 10c lower than Saturday for
January pork, 7i2c lower for January
lard and TIC for January ribs
Leading futures ranged as follows:
