CHICAGO, Ill, Oct 14.-Bull enthusiasm in
wheat in full force at the opening of the mar
ket this morning, in explanation of which
urged the reports Of cargo sales at San Francisco
Liverpool offered no further encouragement, that
market responding to our advance of yesterday by
14d. The effect of this information was apparent
shortly after trading began, when prices declined
114c. A slow recovery then took place. North
western receipts we're not so heavy this morning,

and GA year ago.
The reduction was ascribed to difficulty In OBJ
tanning cars. Chicago received 355 cars and in
spected out II 600 bushels. The market exhibited
more or less weakness throughout the session,
holders availing themselves of every little
cry to dispose of wheat. Closing Paris and Berlin
cables were higher and Antwerp unchanged Ex-
port clearances liberal at 36S,940 bushels
In the last fifteen minutes prices advanced over
1c from the inside but again quietly declined and
closed within fraction of the lowest point OF the
day. The furry was occasoned by reports OF
fresh demand from India December wheat
