Chicago, Sept. This has been a bear
day in wheat with emphasis. At the start
there was possibly half minutes steadi-
ness and hesitation, but the popular de-
sire was to sell and very little opposition
to declining prices was encountered during
the remainder of the session. December
wheat opened from 59kc to 59Ac, declined
to 5sl4c, closing at 5s1zd58ssc, 11s91Ac un-
der yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and
16t115c per bushel lower.
Corn was in sympathy with wheat,
prices declining moderately, but the trade
remained inactive and devoid Of attrac-
tiveness. The pit was. for the most part,
neglected, the few orders executed being
for small lots and for local account. May
corn opened at 251sd25Ac. sold at 25Ac, de-
clined to 2issc, closing at 2434c-iac under
yesterday. Cash corn was easy and Ac
lower.
Oats we're not active, but there was a
steadier feeling In the market than In
either corn or wheat. Nothing transpired
which at all savored OF consequence May
oats closed bc under yesterday Cash oats
were steady and unchanged.
Notwithstanding in provisions was at
quite firm quotations. The offerings were
moderate. and the demand about fair A
steady hog market was quoted, which was
apparently the principal cause Of strength.
January pork and ribs closed unchanged
and January lard a shade lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
