Chicago, Oct. 29.-Wheat started in to-
day with boom in full possession of the
pit.and prices jumped sl1yward with start
ling rapidity. For about an hour 1t looked
as though there was to be a repetition OF
the action and scenes of ten days ago,
but at 7314c for December, realizing began.
Rumors of tightening money at New
York, which, later, were more than ver-
fed, caused great energy in selling, and a
break of &c took place Afterwards the
fluctuations were nervous and erratic, it
being evident that traders could find no
comfort on either the long or short side.
There were number of foreign buying
orders here and at New York to-day ID
which great prominence was given, the
early advance proving how fruitful in eff
feet they were. Liverpool opening cables
were led higher at the opening and IA
was added at the closing. Continental
markets showed gains corresponding with
ours of yesterday December wheat
opened from 715sc to ne, sold between
7S14c and 71Ac, closing at T7sc-7sQlc
higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was
1Gp2c higher
Corn-By advancing few fractions,
/ corn reflected the strength of wheat. 1t
is difficult to enthuse the trade in this
grain, and when &c advance in wheat is
scarcely important enough as an infu-
ence to cause a Ac or re sympathetic
rise, 1t is quite clear that operators feel
other than bullish. May corn opened
from 2S1aG2Sssc, sold between 2Sssd28AQ
2S3sc, closing at the inside, unchanged
from yesterday. Cash corn was lac high
er.
Oats-In recognition of the bullish az
ton of wheat, oats advanced a trifie
early. There were no appearances of in
dependent strength, and at reactive Pc
RODS of the leading market, an easier
feeling was exhibited. May oats closed
a shade lower. Cash oats were about
steady, with no essential change in prices.
Provisions-The situation in product
was such that important advances or de.
clines were improbable. There was no in
clinatlon to sell it short, and yet nothing
in the information or statistical position
warranted purchases. The hog market
was easy, that being the principal con-
sideration. The close showed January
pork unchanged; January lard SC lower
and January ribs 21AQ5c lower.
| Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening Highest. Lowest. Closing.
