CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. october 2o.-There have been
exciting days I'm the wheat market Dut
to-day's Outranked anything OF recent
date. and. probably. in many years.
yeritable panic existed at the close, ana
millions of bushels were poured into
th4 market prices cutting no inquire ia
the matter. Tight money was the cry.
The cash-wheat situation mas become Tue
all-importaut factor; Money rates are
high. and no one wishes 10 undertake the
responsibility OF carrying wheat under
those conditions. The early market was
weak. cables coming lower ana Foreigners
selling. A period OF comparative steadi-
ness prevailed for two hours. but IN the
last half hour confusion OF the most
extreme kind had possession or tie pit,
and December dropped 10 &c. under yes
terday's close. San Francisco was said
TO be in q panic, which served 10 aug
ment the disturbed feeling here. Closing
English ami continental quotations were
all lower. The Cincinnati Price-Current
reported a favorable week for the crop.
December wheat opened at from "a IA
10 q Use. sold between Iiis and 40 l-4c.,
and closed at 7Oiac.-4a4c. under yesterday.
Cash wheat was weak and ffi6c. lower
Corn yielded INTERESTINGLY TO the de-
pressing influence of the weak wheat
market. No startling Incidents We're
noted. The trade was not large, and the
main object OF operators was 20 dispose
OF what corn was accumulated whilst the
outlook was rosy. May corn opened al
s7i4c.. sold between Is and q 3-Sc.. and
closed at 27i5c.--3-Sc. under yesterday.
Cash corn was steady carly. but closed
weak and &c. lower.
Oats--Nith wheat and corn declining.
little hope was entertained for oats.
Holders made the best OF a bad situation.
and sold. May oats closed l-sg1-4c. under
yesterday. Cash oats were firm early,
but closed 1-4c lower.
PrOvisions-Undcr the stress OF weak
ness in the grain markets, product dis
played an easy feeling at the opening.

tone. The hog market was firm. which
