The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1897-08-28

to-day's market was due to the manlp-
ulatiOns of the new combine Chicago
receipts were 2G2 cars, of which only
We're contract. The quantity taken
from store was $4,000 bushels, Min
neapolis and Duluth received 1927 cars
against 6S4 on the corresponding day of
the year before.
Atlantic port clearances again con-
firmed the genuineness of the Euro
pean demand Dor American wheat and
flour The equivalent OF $4,000 bushels
was exported from the principal ports
In the last twenty-four hours, The
market was steadled somewhat by the
mad-day strength Of corn, but becam'
radically weak again on reports thai
foreigners were reselllng at the sea
board, December rose to 9llfc but de-
clined on that to SShc. 1t had recov-
cred to SOC at the close. September sold
as high as 96c, but closed at 93c.
Corn was active and irregular. The
market was badly demoralized at the
opening on account OF the break in
wheat at more favorable and heavy re-
eeipts, 1872 cars. The opening was
followed by period Of consider
able strength with good country and
foreign buying helped by drought
damage claims. The market yielded
later, however. on heavy liquidation,
started by the late decline in wheat,
and was quite weak at the close. A
heavy business was transacted. Ca
bles We're higher; charters were for
100000 bushels. December opened 1c
lower at 32Bc. 1t dropped to Slisc,
sold us high as 33e and closed at 800
32Bc.
A fairly good business was done IN
oats. The opening was weak with
everything else, elevator selling being
conspicuous, adm quite sharp decline
resulted. Part Of this was subsequent
ly recovered, but averaged weak. Re-
celpts amounted to 45l cars, Charters
were for 100000 bushels. December
opened &c lower at 100000, ranged
between 209sc and 1890, closing at
20%c.
The opening break in prices of wheat
and corn caused provisions to start
weak, Notwithstanding small receipts
Of hogs and considerable rise In their
price at the yards. The subsequent rise
in corn put the market climbing again
but the decline In that cereal later In
the day again produced q selling pres
sure that lost the products oil and
something more than they gained. A,
the close December pork was 10c lower
at IS 97m, December lard unchanged
at 81 95 and December ribs &c lower at
IS 20.
