Chicago, Oct. 6.-Liverpool cables and
foreign buying orders abroad and in this
market exerted a powerful influence for
strength in wheat here to-day Liverpool
was varously quoted from u to Id higher.
Several commission houses had orders
from Cincinnati, and the fact was ex-
| plotted before the opening, causing a
| strong curb market and giving prices the
| first advancing impulse. A rise of l cent
was shown by the opening quotation, and
| the sentiment produced by the encourage
| ing td1ngs carried prices another cent
| mat was the extent of the Improvement
however, slight recessions afterwards
taking place Bradstreet's announcement
| of an increase in the worlds stocks of g.
| 72lOOO, caused a drop of Nc, which was
followed by rally. Before the close
| there was considerable realization under
| the pressure of which there was a mod
crate reaction. December opened $50
6S7sc, advanced to 69$lc closing at &C
| nc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat
was firm at 1ac advance.
Corn-This grain received sufficient
ffrmness to cause a fair advance in price.
The influence mentioned was the prin-
cipal one at work, and under the encour-
agement afforded thereby Spectators
were induced to act on the long side, do
ing so with profit. May corn closed at
the inside-1sc higher than yesterday
Cash was quiet and 1ac higher
Oats-Following the lead of wheat and
corn, oats showed improvement early, but
reacted to yesterdays close later. A mod
erately good business was transacted
May oats were unchanged. Cash steady.
Provisions were Influenced by wheat,
and an advance in hogs. No notable in
cident took place. January lard closed
to 7h cents higher, and January ribs,
21s to 5 cents higher
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
