CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, September. A-Wheat was
Enthusiastically strong today, and for what
reason 1t was rather difficult to see. From
superficial point OF view II would APP
pear as though the decision Of the ware
| mouse commission yesterday, cancelling
| the licenses OF a number Of the elevators,
was responsible for the flrmness, but when
| IL Is remembered that the matter Is now
| TO be carried into the courts, where II Is
| likely TO drag for year or more. IL Is
| not clear why there should be any uneasi-
| ness over the question.
The market was palpably short, and. as
| offerings became scarce after the open

when covering was attempted. Upon the
announcement OF Bradstreets report.
prices eased of. but subsequently an
other rally occurred. and the close was
quite strong. December wheat opened at
50 l-2 to IS 5-sc.. and sold between IS 3-Sd

OF old corn on hand than the trade has
been arranged for. and that IL Is now being
marketed to make room for the new crop.
which Is ready to be housed. May corn

unchanged.
No feature appeared in oats. Prices
varied only according to the action OF
wheat and corn.
The trade in this grain has fallen into
a rut. no business having been transact
ed for some time.
May oats closed 1-sc. higher than yes
terday. Cash oats, steady to l-ic. lower.
Provisions-There was nothing in pro-
visions OF any particular interest: Liqui-
dalton in October continued. and the
packers OF long stun being Influenced by
the hog market.
The closing prices were 1-2c. higher
than yesterday for October pork, 2 l-2c.
