L Chicago. H.. Nov. 1.-THE tone Of the
wheat market to-day wasl a varied one.
The tendency Of prices was 10 decline and
at the end of the session almost two cents
loss from the final quotations Of yester-
day was noted. Liverpool held the key ~
the situation, and as the course OF affaIrs
at that place was unsatisfactory 10 hold
ers, selling became very popular. The first
cables were somewhat mixed, but 1t was
cleaned from their general tenor that
there was hesitation in the advance on the
other side Of the water. Second advces
were even more emphatic, a decline Of 1l5d
being reported. The puts offered the
only formidable opposition 10 the decline
here and It was solely TO the buying against
these privileges that to-day's break stop
ped where it DID. December wheat opened
from sOAc, to 79Ac, sold between 80% and
7SAc. closing at 79c--lkc under yesterday.
Cash wheat was easy ana &c lower.
Corn.-It was easy to suppose how corn
would act, with wheat weak and there ex-
listing no announcement in the position Of
the market itself. Prices slipped away with
much determination, although there was
some selling by the bears. Commission
houses had orders on that side and the
only buyers were shorts Nav corn opened
from 29lz to 29Hc, declining 10 29c, closing
at the inside-ss0%c under yesterday. Cash
corn was weak. and ha1sc per bushel low
er.
oats received their share Of weakness
from the toppy condition Of wheat. The
feeling in the market was not in the least
independent and trading was moderate.
May oats closed hd3sc under yesterday.
Cash oats were steady, owing 10 the
scantincss Of the supply.
Provisions reflected the tone OF tho hog
and grain markets. Only a slow, latess
trade was noted and price changes were
narrow. At the close January pork and
lard were each 2isN5c lower ana January
ribs unchanged.
