CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL, September 25.-All was
happiness In the bull camp this morning,
and extravagant predictions OF where
prices for wheat were going We're hearu
on all sides. but before the session was
oyer the 10y was turned 10 sadness, ana
those who had bought were figuring Just
how much Of a loss they could or would
stand.
Values at the start showed an advance
from Yesterdays close OF from 3-fql l-sc..
the greater part OF which was gained on
the curb last night.
IL was a short scare, pure and simple;
Excuses and explanations were offered
for the rise among which the elevator de-
cision was one OF the most prominent.
Some talk OF a scarcity or Russian oner-
ings in England was also ered,,ed Win sa
considered. 1t was doubtful II any par
ticular information had much influence.
During the morning the bull-fever began
10 abate. but upon the posting OF export
clearances amounting TO o3.3oS bushels.
there was revival OF strength. Within
the last half-hour the market broke
very sharply. offerings becoming large
and thu demand being VERY much cue tse
statement that the worlds shipments for
last week aggregated 100000 bushels,
which affected the sntiment adversely.
December wheat opened at from ~ LIZ
TO Gle, declined to 80 l-sc., and closed
at SO 1889 l-4c.--l-2l5-sc. lower Than yes
teriay. Cash wheat sold at a lc. advance,
but closed nominally weak and lower
with the futures
way OF features The beginning OF the
session was marked by some firmness.
but az IL did not follow from that that
the situation presented any alteration.
there was no disposition to buy. The feel
ing was In sympathy with the action OF
wheat, and when that grain began to de-
scend corn also turned In the direction
OF lower prices. The business was exceed
ingly dull and uninteresting.
May corn opened at from % 3-sc TO
al 20 i-sc.-l-sc. under yesterday. Cash
corn was steady,
With a range Of but l-sc. In oats, IL Is
NOT difflcult TO conceive the extreme mar
rowness in character Of to-day's trade In
that grain. The tone might be called
steady, for want Of a better name. May
oats closed a shade higher than yester-
ferday. Cash oats were steady
Provisions-Local scalpers bought pro-
duct at the opening. relying on the
strsngth Of wheat to carry prices higher
