CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. October l4-Wheat prices
were subjected TO some wild gyrations
to-day, but throughout the entire session
here there was hesitation in the tone,
and lack of enthusiasm on the bull
side There was no authentic news on
which to boom prices; i'm fact the trend
OF the day was the other way. In the
last fifteen minutes there was a furry,
when sharp bulge of lc., followed by u
break of equal proportions, took place.
1t was said that the New York market
had orders for cargoes for India, but the
report lacked verification.
At the opening prices We're up. on the
strength carried over from yesterday.
but the failure of Liverpool to reflect
our appreciation of yesterday caused
holders to sell freely, and a retrogreSsion
set in. December wheat opened at 10 $50
10 7-sc., sold between Il and 50 l-ia69 3-Sc.,
and closed at 90 3-S469l2c under
yesterday.
Cash wheat was irregular. closing about
1c. under yesterday Corn showed agree
ment with the movement of wheat. At
the opening, buying was encouraged by
higher Liverpool cables, and by large in
spections from store, but the quick de-
cline in wheat eXerted a depressing in
fiuence, and prices declined. May corn
opened at from % 5-sd2sAc., declined TO
Zl%c., and closed at Is l-sc.-3-8c. under
yesterday. Cash corn ruled easy and
about l5c. lower.
Oats took strength ard vigor from the
adjoining pits, but lost 1t when weakness
assumed control OF the situation. May
oats closed 1-Sc. under yesterday. Cash
oats were easy at a decline OF lac.
Provisions-The support was withdrawn
from product right at the opening, this
morning. and prices fell away sharply.
A decline of sc. in hog values was os-
tensibly the immediate factor. but the
recent advances were apparently viewed
as of doubtful merit, and holders were
willing sellers to obtain profits. At the
close, January pork was 2jc. under yes
terday. and January lard and ribs were
27i2c. lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
