mately asserted itself. September wheat;
which closed yesterday at &12c. started
to-day at from SSC 10 SSl4c and soon crop
ped 10 S75sc. and after bobbing around be-
tween that figure and SIC FOR rev MN
utes, it rose in hc leaps TO SsS4c, helped
along by a flood OF buying orders from
those who had previously held aloot
They climbed into the bandwagon 100
late, however. From S9s4c, the Market
slid like toboggan down a wen piahea
runway until il was brought up with
splash into the figures between Sl52c anu
SIC. Although Sll2c was virtually the DOT
tom Of the decline. one 5O,WO DusneI Iot
was sold at the elimination OF the descent
AZ Sc, Business slackened after that and
the price had again recovered TO $3.50 Dy
1850 o'clock without the buying OF any
great quantity. Liverpool began the day
sensation by a 17sq24d advance ana
slightly increased this later in the day.
The news from New York however, was
somewhat discouraging, being 10 the erect
that foreign orders received To-Day We're
generally 10 sell out wheat previously
imous as 10 the damage 10 spring wheat
the price current in particular being rain,
er bearish IN tone. Paris cables showed
advances ranging from l9sc TO use. chi
cagO received 81 car loads against ia a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth got
los carloads, against AS last year AT
lantic port clearances were equal IN wheat
and flour to $4,000 bushels.
Those who did not get thrown out on
the plunge at SIC and S7l2c about 1880
had another chance 10 get Sl@4c, that
price being again obtainable ABOUT the
hour of noon. During the next hour II
went down to SSc and up TO $3.50, and IN
fact did not seem to know where 1t was
at during that time. The trade was not
heavy or general, the majority OF the To-
cal scalpers preferring TO look on. II
was current even more in the pit near
the close that wheat was settling up with
Alen-Grier, which indicates that they
have parted with a considerable portion
of the wheat they were holding Tor the
part known as the bull syndicat5. Acting
on that belief the crowd jumped on the
market and in few minutes hammered
IL down from around SIC TO SIC, ana II
closed at S1Isc for September and Slhc for
December
Corn was fairly steady. though showing
a degree of nervousness. at times on ac-
count of the erratic action OF wheat
There was q greatly improved trade. eS-
pecially from the outised. The bull crowd
changed. selling September and buying
December 10 the extent OF about mil
lion bushels, the feature of the market;
Crop reports were less favorable and
shipping demand was better. Local re-
ceipts were S54 cars. The market slid OFF
toward the end with wheat september
higher at from 2S%c TO 29Ac. It ranged
between 291sQ14c and $3.50, and closed at
2S3sG&c.
Oats were rather quiet within narrow
lower prices. AS in corn. the feature was
changing from September to December.
There was some increase in oats trade.
Receipts were S33 cars. September open
ed unchanged at $50 and ranged between
Bake and 1870. 1t closed at 11sQlSc.
In provisions the Cuddahys were heavy
sellers of October lard. presumably liquid
alton OF long time, which was takeq..RX
advanced sharply on outside buying, lard
ard ribs being carried along. Most OF the
advance was lost later during the last de-
cline in wheat. Hog receipts show fall
ing off. At the close September pork was
7i5c higher at IS 571z: September lard PIC
higher at 81 52i2. and September ribs IN
changed az s. 07i2.
