Chicago, Oct 23.-For inactivity To-
days wheat market deserves to rank very
high. There was hardly any time in the
day distinguished for large transactions
or large import business, and the market
ended very much as it began, and with
only a trifing difference in price. Decem-
Der wheat opened at 60$sc, sold between
6O1zc and 6OQ6OSc, closing at 604 d6Oss, a
shade higher than yesterday. Cash wheat
steady.

29@sG29l2c-1kc higher than yesterday Cash

Oats remained almost stationary. May

Provisions-Trade was no better in prod
uct than il has been of late, owing 10 an
improvement in the quality of the hogs
received al the yards this morning, and to
an advance in prices there. Provisions
showed some Improvement in value be-
fore the close. A petition to the board
of directors of the board of trade is to be
be made a speculative article. The pack
ers will make the move. The idea is to
afford an opportunity to make further
hedges on their operations. At the closc,
to-day January pork was 12lzc higher.
January lard TIC higher and January ribs
sc higher.
