Chicago, Oct. 5.-The opening public
cables were firm for wheat and there
was some disposition among shorts TO
cover. Frank Dunn was the leading
buyer at the start and had consider
abb following. But the demand was
soon SATISFIED and the buying came TO
halt when prices began 10 waver.
Some Of the early buyers began 10 IN
load and there was free selling, and as
the market got little support there was
steady drop OF rs cents. December
going 10 59lz cents. Northwestern re-
ceipts Were again large. the exports
from both coasts for the week were
mullly 100000 bushels smaller than the
week previous. and an increase OF ov-
er 2,OOo,00 bushels In the visible supply
is predicted. Armour was said to be a
heavy seller of wheat against his enor-
nous purchases in the northwest and
the Scalping element was quite bearish.
The weakness in the Kaffir stocks in
Europe continues and had a depressing
influence. Partridge was a free seller
early in the session, but was thought
to have covered some OF II on the sub
sequent break The estimate OF 265
cars for Monday, and the probable lib
eral run all next week was the weak
feature during the latter part Of the
session. December opened at co.'s cents
sold TO SOS cents. then broke to 59iz
ceEts and closed at that bid.
The course OF fluctuations in corn
merely reflected in a weak way the
changes OF the wheat market. Prices
az the close showed, compared with
the final quotatio of the day before,
decline Of q cents per bushel, in Oc-
tober, AG% cent in December and A6
IS cent in May; the listing prices We're:
October so cents. December 27ssQz
cents and May 291s cents.
Notwithstanding good buying the
oats market was easier feeling and
showed a decline of from AG% cent
on October and December, while May
fell off Is cent The greater weakness
in the near deliveries was in conse-
quence Of the large receipts and heavy
estimate May ranged from 2eNqA
cents. ending at the low price.
There was as close an approach to
complete stagnation in the speculative
branch Of the provision business as
could be made without reaching
complete stoppage. Prices were nomi-
nally a tribe higher than closing prices
on the day before, owing to the steady
live hog market.
Estimated receipts for Monday are:
Wheat 26o cars; corn $50 cars; oats $50
cars; hogs 81, 900 head.
