CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. September lit looked
very much like boom in wheat this
morning, prices opening NC. higher than
much more inside OF the first thirty
minutes. But the bull hopes were DOOM
ed to disappointment the market barely
retaining the opening advance at the
close. FOR the last nOur there was no
vigor in the tone, and early buyers were
free sellers. The strength which at
tended the early portion of the session
was derived from various sources. De-
cember wheat opened at from 60% to
60 7-Sc., sold between 60 5-SQ60A and Size,
and closed at 60 7-sG6ic.-5-sc. higher thaA
yesterday. Cash wheat was firm and
lzlAc. higher.
Relying principally on the wheat mar
ket for direction, corn was slightly
higher but the trade was far from ac-
tive. May corn opened at "a 5-Sc., adj
vanced to "a 7-Sc., and closed at "A 5-sc.-
a shade higher than yesterday. Cash
corn was firm and lac. higher.
Oats advanced by means of the good
offices of a stronger wheat market. Busl-
ness was mainly local, but commission
houses reported few outside orders.
May oats closed shade higher than yes
terday. Cash oats were firm and Lie.
per bushel higher.
Provisions-Bogs were In heavier supply
at the yards this morning than yester-
days estimates. This caused an UNI
favorable sentiment. The strength OF
wheat helped the feeling In provisions
later, a fair recovery taking place. At
the close January pork was &c. lower.
January lard shade higher. and January
ribs shade lower.
