Chicago Ill, Oct. BIT was more than
a surprise to even the most sanguine
bulls to find the price of wheat on the curb
this morning 1AG112c higher than it was
when they went home yesterday. The
buoyancy extended to the regular market
and opening prices were still a little better
than the unofficial ones. The one topic
of discussion, as of stimulatve properties.
was the demand from India and Australia
for cargoes at San Francisco. The in
formation on the crop from the latter
country was also calculated to inspire con-
fidence in the advance Compared with
these considerations everything else bore
the stamp of unimportance. The tone
of the market was invariably firm to
strong and the greater part of the appre-

December wheat opened from 7015 to 70%c.
sold between 704c to 7OBc, closing at 7OA0
703sc-1b01Ac higher than yesterday. Cash
wheat was 11zc higher.
Corn was scarcely less active than
wheat at the opening to-day; stimulated
by the strength of Liverpool cables an
advance Of Id, being reported at that
place, and by the buoyancy of wheat,
prices started in at material gain over
yesterdays close, maintaining the tone of
firmness subsequently. The large char
tiers at this place recently and the demand
from abroad tend to encourage traders
May corn opened from 2S14 to 2S94c, advanc-
ed to 2S7sc, closing at 2S15c-%c higher than
yesterday. Cash corn was quoted al 1561c
higher than yesterday.
Oats-The booming propensity of wheat
and corn was not without influence on
oats, which advanced through a natural
cumulative impulse. May oats closed &c
higher than yesterday. Cash oats adj
vanced 19G94c.
Provisions-The bull fever was on in pro-
visions too this morning. Prices were
again higher and that, with soaring In
clinatlon of grains, afforded the necessary
motive for better things in product Late
in the session a receding movement set
in and everything receded. January pork
and lard each closed SC under yesterday,
and January ribs 21ac lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening Highest. Lowest Closing
