Chicago Sept. 15.-There was no vim to
the wheat market to-day. Traders aban-
doned hope of securing any further adj
vance at present and agreeable to the con-
clusion, disposed of wheat accumulated
during the past few days, the sales de-
pressing prices materially. The result of
the Maine election failed of effect repub-
lican victory having been a foregone con-
clusion. The opening prices were below
the final ones of yesterday, subsequently
declines taking place and a moderate re-
action occurring before the close. Wheat
opened from go to 59Ac. declined to 59lS@
sac, closing at 59lac, 5sc under yesterday.
Cash wheat was weaker and ne per BUSH
ell lower.
Corn exhibited entire accord with the
action of wheat There was only the
quietest kind of trade and nothing SAVIOR
ing Of an independent movement was
noted. May corn opened at 2444c, declined
to 24A9242sc, closing at 242sc, &c under
yesterday. Cash corn was easy and nc
lower.
Oats declined from lack Of strengthen
ing influence and weakness in wheat and
corn. A dull, monotonous market proper
ly explains the situation, May oats clos
ed %qkc under yesterday. Cash oats
were steady for good quality, but poorer
grades were easy and Ac lower
Provisions-The speculative atmosphere
of the grain markets being weak dampen-
ed the feeling in provisions. Temporary
steadiness succeeded the opening, but 1t
soon wore off, and quotations were mark
ed lower. A partial recovery TO GORE
spond with that Of wheat took place be-
before the close. January pork closed
2isG5c lower; January lard unchanged,
and January ribs 2I5c lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing
