Chicago, Nov. H.-Wheat was irregular
to-day. but the evening up of shorts
la tan. f1,ns O11
Since a week ago Friday the tendency has
been downward, and naturally the bears
have taken occasion to sell rather freely
The usual indisposition to leave anything
open over Sunday was demonstrated by
the buying seen to-day. A good bank
statement was influential in stimulating
the demand. The opening was steady, de-
spite an array of bearish items of news.
December wheat opened from 7515@75Ac,
sold between 76Ac and 74Ac, closing at
757sc-A@9sc higher than yesterday. Cash
wheat was irregular, closing steady
Corn displayed reasonable sympathy
with wheat, the tone being easy early and
firm later. Prices did not decline seri-
ously, probably because there was no par
ticular interest centered in the market.
May corn opened at 2sssc, advanced to &c,
closing at 26Bq27c-1sc higher than yes
terday. Cash corn was steady, with no
material change in prices.
Oats-As was expected, oats barely held
their own, whilst the decline in wheat was
in progress. When that grain recovered,
however, prices in this market received
assistance therefrom. May oats closed
14c higher than yesterday. Cash oats
were steady and unchanged
Provisions-The weakness which has
been the prevailing characteristic of this
market for some time past was relieved
a trif1e this morning. An advance in hog
prices induced a little buying, and

much their own way lately, covered. jan
