CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL, Nov. 2.-WHEAI-
HIGHS prices for wheat were in favor
TODAY. Although an advance CT 2.4c.
was recorded Tor the day, II was never
tLclCss. not an active market IN the stlct
sense OF the term what the cltcloll
would bring forth was the question. ana
ii great many Traders loaded up IN ire
hope that Doom would follow the an
Iour cement Of the name OF the winning
candidate for President. Tie market
received its urst announcement from
Liverpool. from where llWlgd. advance
was reported al the opening. The clos
ing prices at that place were even better,
= TO - al gain over saturday being
quoted. Routine news had practically
no effect. a slight reaction. followed by
n fun recovery. succeeding the posting
OF an increase Of .3yj. 900 bushels IN the
visible supply. December wheat opened
from I3itc. 10 1916 sold between i35sc.
and Zoe. closing at 'sHtJc.-214c. higher
than Saturday Cash wheat was strong
and 1laN2c. higher.
COKN-Rose I'm price little, the only
exclamation for the advance being The
stronger wheat market and the relations
10 that grain There was scarcely any
tradm~. the pit having but slight at
tendance at any time. May corn opened
IN gS'lc.. advanced 10 29l4c. closing al
2gi.a20i4c .-isc. higher than saturday.
Caeh corn was stronger and &c. higher.
OATS-Derived assistance in tone and
price from the other grains. but the mar
ket was lamentably duh. No incident of
more than ordinary interest. May oats
closed a.Qlbc. higher than Saturday.
Cash oats were strong early, but later
gost their vim and closed only steady.
PROVISIONAL stronger market gave
product a lift at tho opening. but free
offerings and a limited demand soon re-
suited i'm an easier feeling and lower
prices. Trade was moderately active
january porL closed DC. higher. Janu-
arv iard unchanged. and January ribs
a shade lower.
