Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 2O.-To-day's session
of the wheat market brought further and
greater discomfort to the bulls than they
have experienced in many days. 1t was be-
lieved at the close that the heaviest sell
ing was for the account of a syndicate
which is said to exist, and which, it is
claimed, was prominent factor in engin-
eering the bulge which lately eliminated.
The weakness, which finally resulted in
the complete Generalization of to-day's
market, originated abroad. December
wheat opened from 76 to 763sc, sold be-
tween 71s and 752sc, closing at 75lsG761sc-
11591ssc under yesterday. Cash wheat was
irregular, closing weak and nominally 11sc
under yesterday.
Corn received another push downward
from the dispirited feeling which prevailed
in wheat. Foreign advices were also dis
appointing in this tenor, Liverpool quoting
I'd decline. on the decline, all the big
professionals who have been carrying
greater or smaller short lines, covered up
and yet the demand was inadequate as a
sustaining force. May corn opened at 26hc,
sold between 26% and 26bd26lkc, closing at
269sd26lsc-6c under yesterday. Cash corn
was firm, especially for new, which was 10
11kc higher.
oats--Fairly good support was extended

shorts. May oats closed a shade under
Yesterday. Cash oats we're steady to firm,
with no essential change in price.
Observation-Disclosures in provisions
were Influenced more or less by the action
of the grain markets. The hog market
was unchanged, which fact left product
to its own resources for motive. The feel
ing at the close was steady, early sellers
having turned buyers. January pork clos
ed a shade higher; January lard and ribs
each a shade higher
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
