CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO, ILL. Oct 2S.-Business in whea.
was comparatively narrow to-day, much of the
energy which has been an attribute of the trading
tor more than month having disappeared and
the market getting into something of rus. Irices
early recovered several fractions from yesterday,
an advance of s4d at Liverpool affording strength.
Tne near approach of ecton has tendency TO
curtail speculative tran sactions. Receip in the
Northwest were again heavy at 12US cars against
965 last week and 1928 year ago. Chicago had
207 cars and inspected out 1887 bushels Clos
Ing Contnenia cables were all lower Export
clearances were II ght at 5S, 54 bushels. In the
las hour trading showed more animation than at
any previous period of the session, easy money
rates having the effect of causing the bulls to
hibIt more courage. Prices at This time reached
the ''calls' where they met with free selling. De-
cember wheat opene from 69@5s14c, advanced
TO 7l14c closing at 707s@7lc, 21s9214c higher
than yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-mor-
row l46 cars: No. cred spot wheat ranged nomi-
nay from 7Oc to ?2S4c, and closed a. abous n rs

lutely no interest centered in the trade. and the
tone was without guide other than that convened
by the eishboring wheat market the specula-
tive Indifference noted early ir the leading market
also prevalent in corn. Liverpool cables

had its natural effect on product Holders were
discouraged and sold their property. The pros
peel of restricted speculative demand during the
balance of the week was not calculated TO produce
bulliSh feeling. The very strong tone OF wheat
revived the dropping feeling of product toward
the close. January pork closed 212c lower and
January lard and ribs each unchanged

vailed. Prices were unchanged.
