CHICAGO, September 13.-The weaE-
ness OF wheat Saturday was renewed to-
day and for the same reason and weak
foreign mar kets and bull pool liquidation,
December closed at a 11s0Zc decline.
Corn was weak early, but recovered all
higher at the close. Provisions like corn,
started very weak, but changed and by
closing time advances of 5q10c had been
recorded.
special activity The opening trades were
at from q to 1c per bushel below the
ed at 951s@959sc, against Saturdays clos
ing price of 96hc. The tendency for the
next hour was to recover a little of the
first loss, but at the end of that time the
first thought of the traders came back to
them and a still lower price than the
lowest point of the opening range was
brought around without much business
passing: The Liverpool market was from
ID to 11ad lower, the receipts were heavy
39S cars at Chicago and 1902 bushels at
Minneapolis and Duluth-the quantity on
ocean passage was 0,OOO bushels larger
for the week, and an increase of some
V here around 100000 bushels in the Wis
ible supply was looked for and the eX-
pectatior. was subsequently fulfilled
Out of the 5oS carloads received at Chi
cago only 50 were contract, and only IS
cars Of 40 received al Minneapolis were
No. Northern. But little attention was
paid to this, however.
After the receipt of the visible supply
figures which, showed $4,000 bushels in
crease, although that was about what
very severe spell Dec Ae>ar recovered to
95& during the first hour. 1t fluttered I'M
easily for some time between 95$s and
$3.50 and until near the time for the an
nouncement of the visible supply figure it
gave evidence of further weakness. Then
however. it became very weak, and the
price, dropped down like the hammer of a
pile driver. Closing cables reported Paris
from Is centimes to 20 centimes lower and
Antwerp unchanged The report of thirty
loads being taken for export and claims
of damage to Argentine crops by locusts
tended to bring about a rally later in the
session, mad under covering by early SELL
ers December recovered to 941sq9iAc,
where it closed.
Corn participated to very slight de-
gree in the weakness with which wheat
was affected. For a time after the open
cline. This was caused by heavy receipts
and a phenomenal opening break in pro-
visions: which started liquidat ton by
md ho9s i o The Esbe supply in
increased 2,0l10Oo bushels. Notwithstand-
ing this. there was good buying, the mar
ket being helped perhaps by the hot
finally recovered. Receipts were 1,651
cars December ranged from 32aS2lsQ
S225c; closing unchanged at 915sc
oats, were influenced somewhat by corn
during the morning. Later in the day
good cash inquiry was reported which
caused a frmer feeling. The spread be-
tween May and December was narrowed
Receipts were $40 cars. Visible supply in
creased 15S,000 bushels. December ranged
from q to 20ssc, closing at PIC, a shade
developed yellow fever scare at the open
ing in provisions. Liquidation On fear of
further spread of the pestilence caused a
sharp opening break, but a prominent
packer who has been free seller, later
bought heavily and prices reacted. Trad
ing dropped off later but prices remained
strong. At the close December pork was
sc higher at IS 3214. December lard 10c
higher at 81 50. and December ribs 7l2c
higher at 81 s..
