Chicago October l2.--wheat opened
at a slight decline from Saturdays
close. The government crop report in
dlcated the total spring and winter
crop to be about 42i. 100000 bushels; that
favored the bulls, but the receipts here
and the northwest were too heavy to
come from such a small crop. and this
stimulated the bears. Liverpool was
unchanged according to first cables. but
Berlin started at from ~ to 2h marks
advance: The foreign news was. how
ever, OF strongly bulilsh flavor. ex-
cept as regarded the shipments from
Danubian and Russian ports. those be-
ing heavy. The East Indian need OF
wheat was apparently confirmed by pri-
vate letters and by something more
tangible. more engagements Of wheat
in San Francisco for shipment to India.
San Francisco wired that England
and Australia and India were all COM
peitiors for wheat there All cabied
offers OF flour by local and Minneapolis
millers were accepted. Later cables
came surprisingly firm. Paris and Ber-
lin closed with almost boom and Liv-
erpool also closed strong. About an
hour from the close the inevitable sell
ing to realize profits caused a partial
reaction.
