The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1897-09-10

from odessa that the crisis In the grain
trade In southern Russia had been en-
HANGED by the influx of half score OF
Hungarian commissioners who were
purchasing wheat at any price they
could obtain It.. II was also stated that
the government had made extraordinary
purchases Of grain for food reserve as a
precaution against another famine. This
soon obliterated the effect of the slight
declines at Liverpool and Paris and a
] more urgent demand arose, the conse-
quence being that by IL o'clock Deem
Der had advanced to 97Nc,
The scalpers have fought shy of the
market for some time and were con-
spcuously unwilling to have much to do
with II to-day. The absence Gf such an
important controlling force was seen In
the difficulty Of commission men filling
orders, especially buying orders, as the
latter were vastly in the majority. Sud
den jumps In the price were unavoId-
able. December wheat was not for sale
after the first half hour by any one who
did not have 1t previously bought and
the advance 977Sc was attended by many
fluctuations. The ordinary market news
had nothing very novel or exciting be-
yond the Odessa dispatch
Chicago received 295 cars, only 10 OF
them contract Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported 672 cars, against 1913 q
year ago. The Atlantic port clearances
were equal In wheat and flour to 5S5OO0
bushels The French demand for wheat,
which has been somewhat in allegiance,
has revived again. according to cable
gram from London, which quoted tho
sale at France of cargo already ailoat
of California wheat. New York report
ed 80 boat loads taken there for export
up to about IL o'clock.
The market continued strong, 0Sikc
being current for December about half
an hour from the close. People who
were still bearlshly inclined confined
short selling to the May delivery. and
that In consequence got to slight dis
count, its price being 97&c when Deem
Der was 9SIsc BY closing time Deem
Der had reacted to 97%c,
Trading in corn was not so active as
of late but the market was very firm
Some Of the firmness was due to sym
pathy with wheat, but predictions OF
frost In the northwest Friday. coupled
with some Of the worst crop reports yet
received, helped to maintain the price
Independent of the course of wheat
Country offerings were small. Clear
ances were G2S,OOO bushels; local receipts
LII bushels. Shorts bought freely to
cover toward the close. December
opened a shade lower at 32&@33c, sold
up to S3A933Sc, and closed at $3.50
33kc.
Oats opened weak, but flrmed up later
and remained so for the rest of the ses-
sion The cash demand was large, over
100000 bushels being taken for export
yesterday. This was the principal bull
feature Offerings were large during the
advance but not enough to counterfeit
the upward tendency. Receipts were 1858
cars. December ranged from 20%c to
21hc, closing at 2lhq2lHc,
Provisions were weak In comparison
with the grain markets, although pork
showed an advance at the close. The
yellow fever scare was not so much In
evidence, but there was scattered llqul-
dalton by small holders all day. The
cash demand was good. At the close
December pork was nc higher at IS 10.
December lard unchanged at 81 So and
December ribs 2iA6p5c lower at 81 95,
