Chicago, Sept 25.-Wheat established its
highest quotation for the week at the close
to-day, %GAc above Wednesday. The
earlier portion of the session gave promise
of something different, but results proved
that the bulls had not yet given up the
fight, but were still acting on the agrees
sive Over confidence on the part of the
bears accomplished their own undoing,
there being nothing else in evidence really
weighty enough to cause the rise. De-
cember wheat opened from 6415d647sc, sold
between 641aa671sG 67Ac, closing at 671sc-
15sc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat
was irregular, closing 1zq%c higher than
yesterday.
Corn was willing to follow the down
ward trend of wheat early, that being in
line with the sentiment of trade. Trade
was usual of little Importance and scant
interest was exhibited. May corn opened
at 25Ac, and closed at 2514a252sc-a shade
over yesterday. Cash corn was easy ear
ly, but closed steady.
Oats-But meager interest was attached
to oats Prices were almost stationary
during the morning hours and the changes
were of a slow and perfunctory sort.
May oats closed 1sdAc higher than yester
day. Cash oats were easy and 14c lower.
Provisions were comparatively steady
most of the day. whilst business was not
of any merit. January pork and ribs each
closed unchanged, and January lard 3
cents lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest Lowest. Closing.
