COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Trade Witnesses Decided Turn of the Tide
in Wheat.
PRICE OF DECEMBER DECLINES HEAVILY
Dealers Work ON the Theory that Re-
cent Advances in Cereals
Have Been EntireIy
TOO Rapid.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Today witnessed a de-
cided turn of the tide in wheat the price of
December declining a iull cent ana half.
It was not so much bearish news as a gem
eral opinion that a reaction was overdue
that caused the decline. All other markets
were heavy, corn declining CSC. oats sc and
provisions from 10c to l7l9C.
In the wheat pit at the opening everything
pointed toward lower prices. December
which closed yesterday at C9isc, started at
GSRc. and only little could be sold at
that, the bulk of the first transaction being
at 6Shc. After fuctuating for short time
between GShc and 6S2sc, 1t dipped to 6Sisc,
and rebounded to 6Siac More was for sale
at that, however than there were buyers
for, and the price resumed i;s declining ten
dency. The apparent cause Of the opening
weakness was the BverpOol cable, which
quoted futures Id lower. This was more of
a decline than was expected, though 1t was
doubtless partly due to the reduction of
Liverpool dock charges. The northwest
was "perniciously active" receipts at Min
neapolis and Duluth amounting to 1,714 car
loads compared with 95S last week and ia
last year. Argentines shipments for the
week were 1885, 600 bu compared with 10000
bu. on the week before, and with 10.G00 bu
two weeks ago. Perhaps a much more
powerful reason for the opening decline,
and, at any rate, for the weakness which
vanced, was the feeling among traders,
which has been steadily growing for the
past week that the recent advance has
been too fast, and a reaction of material
kind from realizing sales to take profits was
inevitable. After the reaction to 6SLac, the
market became very weak and about half
an hour from the close it got down to
6Ilac.
After the reaction to 6Shc the market became
very weak and about Il half hour from the close 1t
got down to C9iac. The closing price for De-
cember from 6IIRc to 67Nsc.
Corn was quiet and weak, influenced by the
slump in wheat and by the fine weather which
Is predicted to Increase country shipments. There
a good deal of liquidation, the heavy buy
ers of Thursday and yesterday being the sellers
today. May opened &c lower at from 26i4c to
269so and declined to from 25Ac to 2j7sc where
1t closed
oats fairly active. The feeling was easy
and prices declined in sympathy with wheat
and started the decline, and free selling assisted
to great extent. May opened at from l4c to
Ssc lower at 20c, declined to 191ac and closed
easy at from lgIsc to 1850.
A fair amount of business done in pro-
visions, but heaviness the most prominent
feature. Packers had for sale at somewhat
under yesterdays prices all tina anyone made a
bid for the heavy estimates for next week max
ing them cautious. January pork closed 171%c
and January ribs 1Oc lower at $3.50,
Estimated receipts for Monday are: Wheat,
26S cars: corn, 675 cars; oats, $50 cars; hogs,
40 COO head
The leading futures ranged as follows:
