Chicago H.. Sept 19-The wheat mar
ket was steady, but at the close the con-
hdence in still higher prices was not so
great, as IT was in the beginning of the
session. The recent advances in English
and continental markets, lost some of its
Importance, and significance to-day Spec
ulators awakening TO the facts that higher
ocean freights have been the cause in a
great measure of the appreciation. At the
opening thereafter, there was good buying
but before the close, offerings exceeded a
greater influence, and prices rested slight
ly under the final ones of yesterday. De-
cember wheat opened from 61s46617sc. sold
between STA and &c, closing at 6lssc, a
shade under yesterday. Cash wheat was
firm and nc higher early, closing steady
and unchanged from yesterday
Corn-The prices profited TO a moderate
extent by the opening advance in wheat,
but there was lacking any independent
spiritsMay corn opened at PC. sold between
25ls and 2434 1247sc, closing at 247sc ,unchang-
ed from yesterday. Cash corn was firm and
Ac per bushel higher, closing steady.
Oats-Such trading as there was in oats
bore no mark of Importance. Minor trans
actions for local account kept the market
from being entirely lifeless, whilst SYM
pathy with wheat afforded prices their in
centive for strength.
Observation-Disclosures In the provision
market were not of character to arouse
interest. The tone of prices was appar-
emily with regard TO the feeling in wheat,
although the advance attained early in
prices, fairly we'll held until the close, the
recessions in the grain markets not receiv-
ing full response. January pork closed
ive cents higher than yesterday. January
lard. 5q71ac higher; January ribs a shade
higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
