Close on - Provisions Unchanged to
Little Higher.
Chicago, Sept. s-Good export bust
ness and expectations Of an unfavora-
bic government crop report helped De
cember wheat to regain an early loss Of
q cent and close shade higher. Corn
was not Sc buoyant and declined 4 cent
for May. Oats advanced i cent and
provisions closed unchanged to cents
higher.
The bears in the wheat marke. had
enough encouragement at the opening
TO make their hearts glad. The worlds
shipments 70 Europe last week were l.

els from this side The amount on ocean
passage increased PAS, 600 bushels las.

and Duluth since Saturday numered .
512 cars, compared with BIS cars for
the corresponding time year ago. Chi
cago receipts were 462 cars, compared
with 247 on the similar days OF the pre-
vious year. The political situation had
likewise a little effect in creating the

days closing Of 571sd57S cents. The
VisloEe supply statement did not show
quite as large an increase as had been
rocked for. The addition for the week

Kept strong Notwithstanding the snAcu-
idliVe weakness here, was looked unon
as a favorable factor and there WAS an
couragement derived from the exnort
business, which up TO noon was placed
at ZfoVVS bushels, although all of II
could not De confirmed. The clearauc.ss
VI wheaf and -four for one day from the
Ihahtc ports were equal to 540Oo

sdered favorable by the buU con+f--

5I%s cents had taken Place. There was
considerable strength developed during
the last hour on a pointer sent from
New york that the government report
thursday would estimate only 800. O0O.-
600 bushels Of wheat. Early sellers
turned buyers and December sold TO IS
cents, shade higher than it closed
Saturday. That was the closing figure.
Low as corn prices were before, they
declined still more today. The contfn-
ued large local receipts augmented the
general depression among holders and,
though the market recovered a little be-
fore the close, II at no time showed real
strength. May opened i cent lower, at
"a cents, declined 10 23&4 cents, and
closed easy at 23zs cents.
Oats were dull and rather easy most
Of the session. prices being kept weak
by the decentralization of the low grades
in the same market. The upward ten
dency Of wheat had a good effect later,
and prices were somewhat higher at
the close. May opened X cent lower, at
1915 cents, and advanced to 1875 cents,
where 1t closed
Provisions were dull during the great
er part Of the session, but with a firm
undertone. Prices at the yards were
higher, an encoUra ging factor, and I'M
der good buying by packers the market
developed positive firmness. Price
changes were slight, but for the better.

$3.50; lard 21a cents higher, at $3.571sQ
$50; ribs unchanged at $3.50.
