CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO ILL, Oct 20.-Affairs were not so
propitous for the wheat bulls this morning, which.
however, did not destroy all confidence in yet bet
ter pri But when fractions constantly
dropped from quotations 1t requires believers in
advance to draw on their funds of faith for
encouragement. This WAS the situation early
to-day. Liverpool cables far from buoyant,
while continental markets did nothing more than
keep in line with figures. Quite little long
wheat sold to-day, the demand being quite
tame com pared with the furor of yesterday.
Receipts in the \ orthwest were 1877 cars,
against 1883 last Tuesday and 1886 year ago.
Chicago received 277 cars ana inspec ed out 10000
bushels. Export clearances amounted TO 40 ,7Z6
bushels. Bradstreet's report on the worlds ock
not issued to-day. The market improved
Lisbon and the Importation OF $4,000. 700 in
gold. Quite q furry occurred during the closing
side was recorded December wheat opened from
777s 90 7e1a sold be ween 1884 and 1858 closing
at 1880, 1c higher than yesterday. Estimated
rece pts for Tomorrow, 3l2 cars
CORN-That the sentiment which obtained in
wheat during the past week or ten days has had
no permane influence on corn was evidenced by
the direction taken by the latter in the immediate
start today. Prices in this market are tardy TO
advance with, but show readiness to participate in
the weakness of the leading market Liverpool
cables were quiet and steady, Receipts were 937
cars, and 676,73l bushels were taken from store
Exports amounted TO 677,711 bushels. A sli- ht
rally took pace toward he close. May corn
opened at 291ac, declined to zs15@2s5sc closing
at 2914c, 14c under yesterday. Estimated re-
ceipts for tomorrow 910 cars
