that to belong 10 these orders made

Chicago Change.

Chicago, Sept. 23-The last minute of to- days session was more exciting than the balance of the day in the wheat market. There was decided furry during the sixty seconds and prices rose 12e per bushel. The buying ardor appeared to result from the decision of the warehouse committee toueh- ing the elevator controversy, although the decision was public property fully two hours before the close. The opinion handed down was adverse to the warehouse men, who have been dealing in the grain market, but it is understood that the matter will now go into court. From the opening up until the time for bulge, there was little of
 interest in the trade. First prices were lower than the last ones of Saturday, a little separately. December wheat opened from 577s to 57&c, advanced to 5Slae, closing at 5SSs Q5S1ac, AQssc higher than Saturday. Cash wheat sold at steady prices
 showed a slight loss in prices. although the business was transacted subject to a fairly steady feeling. May corn opened at H7sc, sold between 2SAg2S5s and 291sa29Ac, closing not partake of the closing strength of wheat. Cash corn was steady to shade lower.
 The situation resembles that of corn in that the crop is large and the supplies of old ca Is are coming forward freely. The action or the two markets presents considerable simi- larity. May oats closed unchanged from Saturday. Cash oats were 14112c per bushel lower.
 Provisions were moderately active at in tervals and prices ruled steady, the hog ,market communicating the maintaining force A certain amount of liquidation in the October option both by longs and shorts is looked for from now OIL, ana the weight of the buying or selling Will go great way toward defining the exact status of values: At the close today October pork and lard were unchanged and October ribs 5c lower.

Statements by LaZard Freres to this effect and the increase in the supply Of commer- cial bills while slight tends to confirm thls theory The favorable report of the North west road for August and rimors of an in ta,.jor advance in the price of anthracite coal also assisted the upward movement.
