Chicago. III, Sept 11.-To-day's wheat
market resembled many in the recent past
in that II was a declining one, and be-
of trading The crowd decided early that
the weather was too hot for comfort and,
thereafter, devoted as mucn TINE as pos
sible TO endeavoring to keep cool, neg
lecting the market very notieeably- At
the same time, due care was exercised TO
prevent prices from exhibiting any
strength, sellers appearing on the slight
est provocatiOn. The Northwestern move
ment received prompt attention, the ar
rival OF 1898 cars in mat section this
morning leading to considerable selling
al the opening. The government report,
apparently had little affect in determining
the course of prices -0,l december ll5 wheat .
5S7sc and Size. closing at 5l1za579sc-lAc
under yesterday. Cash wheat was lc
per bushel lower.
Corn-AfteF Vainly endeaVoring to main
tain firm position corn finally acquiesced
In the weakness communicated by the
wheat market. The crowd was iHdispos-
ed to do business on account OF the sui
try weather and at the close the total Of
the days business made a poor showing.
the government report reduced the condi-
tion of corn slightly, but mat was expect
ed and consequently values were not
affected on that score May corn opened
al 295sc declined to 2S7sc, and closed at
29c-5sc under yesterday. Cash corn was
1kdfc per bushel lower; closing nominal
" at the extreme inside.
Oats.-OWinE to the extreme heat and
to the lifelessness of the other markets,
oats were unable to make even a pre-
tense Of activity. There was a steady 10
firm feeling in the market, however, the
lack of business evidently preserving
values. May oats closed &c under yester-
day Cash oats held firm, the nominal
close showing some weakness.
Provisions.-Here, as in the grain pits,
the most notable feature was the dulness
of the trade. Lower hogs were not caicu-
lated to inspire buyers of product with
any ardor and in speculative way the
weakness of wheat extended anything but
an encouraging influence At the close
October pork was 1872 cents lower; Octo-
Der lard, PFC lower; October ribs IN
changed. Domestic markets were quiet
and easy and foreign were slow.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
