Chicago, Nov. AT the close of to-
days half session the wheat market rest
ed with just shade better prices quoted
than at the end yesterday. But from the
opening until the final trade was made
the action was rapid and most erratic.
LiverpooPs advance of 1%@2d did not
meet expectations, although there was a
bull feint at the start, the disappointment
at the absence of vigor abroad soon found
expression in swift decline of almost a
cent. AT the expiration of the first hour
an advance, which was ascribed to Brad
streets report that only 22OO0 900 bushels
aVallable for export remained in this coun-
Try, set IN. 1t grew in force until PIC
rise from the inside was scored. The
New York bank statement made a moor
showing Tor the week, and, when it was
NiSNSAONf tlIeiS was q slump of
1sc. After that fluctuations were rather
narrow. December wheat opened from
ISSsc to 7S1sc, sold between 791zc and 771c
closing at 7S1sc-a shade over Yesterday
Cash wheat was firm.
Corn-The strong tone and apprecia ting
ABILITY or wheat had a strengthening eff
lect on corn, but the action of the mar
ket was about the same as has been noted
OF late. Whilst prices advanced the i'm
proVement made showed little If any in
crease, and the undertone was not bl1ov-
ant Later in the session prices deciinsd
from lack of buying support. Nav corn
opened from 29h@29hc declined to 2Ss:c
closing at 2S1sc-b@hc under yesterdav
cash corn was 11c higher, closing abont
steady. '"0u'
Oats-Naturally under the Immature 10
