Chicago, Oct. 19.-There was little merit
to the wheat market to-day, either from
a business point of view or in the way of
Improvement in value. At the start the
bulls had slightly the advantage, but they
the session was over. An effort was made
at the opening to boom prices on dry
weather eDorts from the winter wheat
belt showers for that section which were
predicted yesterday not materialiZing In
addition to this, the sensational dispatches
in regard to the Venezuelan question an
pearing in some of the morning papers
rather tending to make shorts uneasy
The demand was not of the kind that sus-
talns, however, ana before many minutes
mad passed decline set in, which was
only stopped by puts. The belief existed
that the visible supply would show al
most 100000 bushels increase for this
week. That tended to increase the weak
ness, as did also a large estimate for
Mondays receipts-508 cars. December
opened 60$4c to 605sc. declined to Coo closing
at 6o60601s-AdSsc under yesterday. Cash
wheat was easy, and re per bushel lower
COrn-ActiVity was unknown in corn to-
day. The situation was practically the
same as ii has been for weeks prices
varying but little, and the traders finding
but scant encoura cement to do business
The ups and downs of wheat defined the
course of prices but fluctuations were
slow and narrow. May corn opened at
29i2c, and closed at 29l4c the range being
within those figures-a loss of nc for the
day being noted. Cash corn was steady at
unchanged prices.
it may be stated that for upward OF five
minutes after the opening not one trans
action had been recorded Later, a few
trades were made. but most of the ses-
sion was on par with the opening. The
close was weak through sympathy with
surrounding markets.
ProViSions-The trading was far from
brisk, though fair. By far the greater
part of the session was with nothing at
all doing. Some steadiness was seen AT
the opening, but the decline in wheat and
a loss in value to live hogs prevented pro-
duct from maintaining firmness. The
close was 12jac lower for January pork
212Q5c lower for January lard and 7Jkc
lower for January ribs. Domestic markets
were quiet and easy.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing
