Chicago General Market.


CHICAGO. Nov. 5.-The weakness
yesterday, were influential as a factor
at Liverpool this morning, and find
ing shat no resistance was offered to
the declining trend, in turn grew
weaker still. Wheat was for sale in
liberal quantities this morning, and as
short sellers have been strangers 10
the market for long time, the absence
of the demand which would naturally
be afforded by them was palpable.
Hence values slipped downward with
little opposition. Receipts in the north
west show falling off, something that
has been expected for quite a while.
1,221 last February, and 1,135 d year ago.
Chicago received IT'S cars and inspected
out 5000 bushels.
The Cincinnati Price Current, in its
weekly summary, spoke favorably of
the growing crop.
Closing Liverpool cables were I'D.
lower and continental markets were
irregular. Export cledrances were
large at 63S, 1903 bushels.
The market closed with a slight re-
covery from the extremity of the weak
ness, holders of puts" doing the buy
ing December wheat opened from 1874
to 75A, declined to 1872, closing at 741s
pa under yesterday. Estimated re-
ceipts for tomorrow, 10 cars. No 2
red spot ranged nominally from IS to
77%l and closed at about 751a @76.
Oats-The depression in wheat and
corn exercised a discouraging effect on
oats. which declined in sympathy. Re
ceipts were 719 cars and 1855 bushels
were taken from stock. Export clear
ances were 112.595 bushels. May oats
closed Il of a cent lower. Estimated
receipts for tomorrow, $50 cars.
Provisfons-The fact of wheat, corn
and oats being in a more or less de-
moralized state rendered speculative
buying of product rather hazardous and
as a result the demand was poor and
prices easy. Trade was moderate. AT
the close January pork was 10c. lower,
January lard 1919 lower and January
rihG 71hG10c. lower.
