CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, October BIT was more
than a surprise TO even the most SAN
gune bull 10 find the price OF wheat on
the curb this morning from i ii 10 j l-zc
higher than II was when he went home
yesterday. The buoyancy extended TO the
regular market, and opening prices were
still a little better than the unofilciai
ones. The one topic OF discussion, as
well as OF stimulative property, was the
demand from India and Australia for
careoes at San Francisco. The informa-
ton on the crop from the latter country
was also calculated to inspire confidence
I'm the advance. Compared with these
considerat iOns, everything else bore tue
stamp of unimportance. The tone Of the
market was invariably firm 10 strong,
and the greater part OF the appreciation
was well sustained throughout. Deem

Corn was scarcely less active than
wheat at the opening to-day. Stimulated

advance OF ID being reported at that
place, and by the buoyancy or wheat
prices started In at a material gain over
yesterdays closlngs, maintaining the tone
of hrmness subsequently. The large char-
tiers at this place recently and the de-
mand from abroad tend to encourage
traders May corn opened at from Is IL

at 2S 1-2c-5-Sc. higher than yesterday
