Chicago Market.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Wheat acted
rather erratic o-day. 1t was weak at
the opening, then firm, then weak
again until just about two minutes
from the close, when there was sharp
recovery of about &c per bushel. II
left Oil about &c higher than on Sat-
urdsy. There was NO apparent cause
for the sudden bullishness further than
the buying by the bulls, which was
started by the very much decrease in
the Invisible and the continuation of
the buying after the short sellers had
gone to the end of their ropes. Corn
and oats were easier and January pro-
visions trifle higher.
