Chicago, Nov. 16-The wheat market
was in bear hands until within fifteen
or twenty minutes of the close to-day,
when the bulls took a turn and hoisted
prices 1850 from the inside, but failed to

ular feature. Scalping was the principal
business transacted. May corn opened at
2S3sc, sold between 2Sl2c and 2Slsc, closing
at 2SAq2Sssc-a shade under Saturday.
Cash corn was weak and AQ1ac lower.
Oats were a trifle weaker than corn, but
not yet as weak during the session, but
Toward the close more IN line with the
former. Commission house carriers were
the most active traders May oats closed
unchanged from Saturday. Cash oats
