Chicago, Nov. 14.-Whilst wheat declined
in price to-day. it was not without meet
ing with considerable resistance. Several
times 1t rallied with enough vim to cause
Shorts just a little uneasiness, and to
set them to scurrylng for cover. The cash
situation gave token of less congestion,
and it was said that an offer of No. 2
spring wheat to New York at cents I'M
der the December price was rejected, with
| the statement that it was yet cents too
| high. The principal source of weakness
came from a report that rains had fallen
in India. AS it is claimed that the season
there has not advanced too far for moist
| ure to be of benefit, the effect was detri-
| mental. December wheat opened from
SOAqalsc, declined to 7S2ic, closing at 79c-
1bc under yesterday. Cash wheat was
weak and lie a bushel lower.
| COIll-<A HdIuTdl lOW6IlHB OF the pIlc6
of corn took place. The undertone of the
market lacked firmness, and the action of
wheat was against improvement. Bust
ness was neither greater nor smaller than
it has been of late and the trade was de-
| void of character or incident. May corn
opened at 8lac, sold between 2S5sc and
| 2S14@2S2sc, closing at 28$scjIsd4c under
yesterday. Cash corn was 15c per bushel
lower.
Oats were quiet, easy and undressing
A few unimportant buying and selling or
ders, such as are usual at any time, were
| executed, but further than that the mar
ket was featureless, for prices depended
| upon the feeling manifested by the other
grains. May oats closed a shade lower
Cash oats were steady for good, but easy
| for other kinds.
Provisions-Lower prices were quotable
! in this market, the decline being due to
the weakness of grain, as well as of hog
| prices. Trade was slow and barren Of
| feature. AT the close January pork was
| 7130iGc lower; January lard, 71Ac lower,
and January ribs, 215q5c lower
| Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest Closing.
