Chicago, oct. is, noon.-The market
opened for wheat D9ecembeE 6V3a9 'Ss Sc,
s9.37l6; lard, October, $5.621a; ribs, Octo-
Chicago. oct. 1s.-If wheat would but
move a cent or 50 either way from 6046lc,
ii might bring about some action in the
market but so long as it clings to the
position it has held for almost two weeks,
there traders will not attempt anything
but the most insignificant business. Local
scalpers were the only people who seemed
to be at all alive in this grain to-day and
even their orders were curtailed. The teel-
ing at the opening was a little frmer than
at the close yesterday, but offerings be-
came a little greater than the demand
could absorb, so that prices were unable
to hold. The Initiated strength was carried
over, from yesterdays curb. December
wheat opened from 607sG61c; declined to
601sc, closing at 602sc-14@Ssc under yester-
day. Cash wheat was easy and Zee per
bushel lower.
Corn-The dullness in corn to-day had
the merit of being uninterrupted. Not a
thing developed to disturb the quiet which
reigned throughout the session. ANY
changes in prices were due entirely to the
action of wheat. At the opening, quota
lions were slightly firmer than at the close
yesterday, but wheat having displayed a
sinking tendency corn was dispossessed OF
what moderate strength it had. May corn
opened at 291h0295sc, sold between Z99sc ana
29slc, closing at 291ac-1sc under yesterday.
Cash corn was steady.
Oats-A decline of a fraction or slightly
over from opening prices took place IN
oats. The loss was simply through sympa-
thy At no time during the session was
business active and only few traders were
in attendance. The close was unchanged
from yesterday for May oats. Cash oats
were steady.
Provisions-That hogs suffered no de-
cline this morning was accepted by pro-
duct traders as favorable news. This SUI
feed to sustain the provisions market Tor
a while to-day, but near the end offerings
increased slightly and prices lost their
firmness. AT the close~January pork ana
January ribs were unchanged and January
lard 2lac lower.
