Chicago. Oct. 1.-THE wheat market
to-day was a roaring bull one. From
start to finish there was one unceasing
clamor for wheat with the opening and
close rivals in excitement. The trade was
broad embracing all classes and condi-
ions of people, and everybody was a buyer.
Wheat was bought early, sold out at
profit and bought again at higher figures,
this proceeding being repeated over and
over again. The first stimulant the mar
ket received, and the one which was re-
sponsible for an advance of almost DC
right at he beginning, was the Liverpool
which reported Pad rise from yesterday
This had the effect of bringing innumera-
BILE buying orders to the market. When
they were filed, there was a pause for
realizing purposes, and then fresh starts
taken During the last half hour addi-
tiona impulse was given by Berlin quota
tions which were Az marks higher. News
from San Francisco infamed the ardor
Lamson Bros. & Co. had advices of several
cargoes taken at that place for shipment
to India, both by steamer and slow
freight. This news was of little conse-
duence as a factor. December wheat
opened from 1874 to lac, advanced to 76bc
nominal, closing at 75bc-3A cents higher
than yesterday. on the curb, after the
close, sales were made at 1873, cash wheat
kept in line with the futures sales being
made at from to cents over yesterday.
Corn was enlivened by wheat, the slim
illus which It received being of sufficient
Importance to cause an advance of ma
terial proportions. The effect OF the ex-
traordlnary activity in wheat was also
beneficial In corn, orders being more plen-
tiful and the buying exhibiting more OF
confidence than at any time recently. May
corn opened at 29c, sold between 2SAQ2SB
and 295sc, closing at the outside-lc higher
than Yesterday Cash corn was firm at
nc advance.
Oats received their quota of assistance
from wheat and under the encourage
ment so obtained made a fair gain in
prices. May oats closed FAC higher than
yesterday. Cash oats were up to cores
pond with the gain in futures, an average
advance of A6hc being quotable.
Provisions-There was bull action In pro-
visions as in everything else on the floor.
The influence of the hog market, which
was not quite so cheering as might have
been wished, was disregarded for the more
encourag ing effect of the wheat boom. At
the close, January pork was 321sc higher
January lard and ribs each 15@171sc higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows;
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
