Chicago, Oct. 25.-Either a bulge or a
break in wheat would be a source Of graf
ifcatiOn 10 the commission men If the
dullness and inactivity would come to an
end To-day was insufferably slow in that
market A fruitless effort to boom prices
at the opening was followed by an easier
feeling In fractional declines, but prices
were as stubborn in opposing bearish en-
deaVOrs when a certain point was reached
as they had been to bull tactics earlier.
Two Of the large ground floor houses es-
saved to boom the market during the
early hours of the session, but it was no.
ticeable that the same firms were prom
iuent as sellers before the session
closed. December wheat opened from 6lM
elise, sold between 6I4Q6l3sc and 609s4
6Ja4c, closing at 603aW60Ac-14c under yes
terday. Cash wheat was steady.
COrn-Ihe vim was out of corn trading
to-day although the feeling was firm,
the continued light receipts keeping shorts
a little bit anxious. The selling was prin-
cipally on May, operators who were doing
so at the same time buying May oats.
A theory has existed for some time past
that this spread is a favorable one owing
to a probability of the two grains coming
near together when the new crop of corn
begins to move. Very narrow limits pre-
vailed I'm the market to-day, the range on
May being but Ac, with the close at the
outside. May corn opened at 298c; sold
at 295sc, closing at 29Ac-a shade over yes
terday. Cash corn was firm.
Oats-Early there was a moderately
good business doing in oats, but that
subsidized later and from noon until the
close there was absolutely nothing Of
in terest in the market. The tone of the
market was taken from wheat, that grain
fluctuations governing those of oats. May
oats closed sc lower than yesterday
Cash oats were steady.
observation-disclosures Of product were dis
posed to sell all day to-day and there
was also an inclination on the part of the
shorts to press offerings. Hogs were again
lower and the demoralized condition Of
affairs at the yards seems TO be the
key to the situation in product. January
pork closed 10 cents lower; January lard,
&c lower and January ribs, 715c lower
Leading futures ranged as follows:
