Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-The bull temper of
the wheat market was uncomfortable to-.
day. 1t was strong at the start 1t wa$
stronger in the middle and it was strong
est at the close. Yesterdays weakness
was forgotten and the sentiment under
went a complete and radical transforma-
tion. Everything in the way of news was
called bullish, and if it was not so literally,
it became so by argument anyway. All
the professionals, prominent recently, were
conspicuous buyers to-day. Cudahy, the
admitted leader, when December advance
ed from IS to 79%c, was again at the head
of the bull forces and the recognized tail
ers were with him. At ] o'clock the cli
max was reached, December touching
1890, and advance OF 4hc from yester-
days close. December wheat opened from
% to 75Ac, sold between 747s and 7S3sc, clos
ing at 7S47S1sc-3AGI4c higher than yester-
day. Cash wheat was up cents.
Corn was urged upwards by the strength
of the speculative tone of the larger mar
ket. There was no independent motive
for strength or flrmness in the situation
and consequently there was an utter alb
sence of enthusiasm to the buying. May
corn opened from 2S1z to 2Sssc, sold between
2Sh and 29lsc, closing at 29d296c-$lG7sc
higher than yesterday. Cash corn was
steady to nc higher.
Oats partook OF the firmness Of wheat.
but were lacking In activity so that prices
moved in sluggish manner. May oats
closed 1s49sc higher than yesterday. Cast
oats were firm to &c higher.
Provisions-The best that could be said
of provisions was that they were steady.
The run OF hogs was light and that mar
ket strong. This, with the rising quail
ty Of wheat sufficed to sustain product.
January pork closed cents higher; jan
uary lard unchanged, and January ribs
21ac higher.
The heading futures ranged as follows:
Opening Highest. Lowest. Closing.
