Chicago. Sept. 2s.-To-day's half session
OF the wheat market was given over to re-
alizing almost exclusively. The buyers of
the previous days Of the week had hand
some profits in sight and less something
Unforeseen might transpire over Sunday
10 deprive them Of their gains. 1t was
deemed wise to take no chances. The &C
ton was erratic, sharp breaks and bulges
occurring, but the final position Of prices
gave evidence of the heavy offerings Yes
terday afternoon on the curb, there was
an advance over the closing prices. Decem-
Der wheat opened from 572s to SIC, declined
10 65#c, closing at 66lsc-lc under yester-
day. Cash wheat was easy and 1c lower.
Corn was firm, by comparison with
wheat, although the opening strength was
more or less a matter Of sympathy with
the leading grain. A reduction in east
bound freight rates to take effect, Oct. l,
was Of material benefit to prices, as the
demand for shipment is expected to i'm
prove through its application. May corn
opened from ~ to 259sc sold between 2524c
and 251sc, closing at 25l4c-a shade under
yesterday. Cash corn was about steady.
Oats-The frmness Of corn sustained
similar tone in oats Business was as slow
as it was possible for it to be and at the
same time maintain the appearance of a
market May oats closed Is of a cent I'M
der yesterday. Cash oats were easy, and
&c lower.
Provisions-A steady hog market was ef.
fective as an agent for sustaining prov1s-
ions for a time this morning, but the in
clination of the trade was to sell, and
soon recessions took place. Approaching
the close. there was better demand and
a slight rally occurred January pork and
ribs each closed 2lzc lower, and January
lard unchanged.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
