CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The opening in wheat rather indicated a bull market, although 1t was difficult to find any explanation of the appar- ent inclination among traders to bu.-, beyond the fact that Liverpool did not show the de- cline naturally looked for after yesterday s buying orders at the start, with a scarcity of offerings, the result being that December opened at 63&4637sc yesterdays closing price. with GA cents offered almost immediately But the tone of the market soon changed. North western receipts liberal Receivers said the country was responding more readily to bids and indications favored freer movement of wheat. This sort of news weakened the con- fidence of buyers and resulted in q corres- bonding increase of offerings under which prices gradually declined, December getting down to 63iac about hour from the start In the meantime September had begun to show radi- cal weakness. Cash demand was reported poor and primary receipts, 1895, 900 bushels, were 00G00 bushels larger than a year ago. This partly offset by heavy clearances, which the Russian wheat yield. But extreme weak of outside cash markets. notably New York, and attempts by dealers in that city to shipped, started liquidation that brought the price down with a rush. all classes of sellers coming into the market and the rapdity of the decline bringing out stop orders both in Sep tember and December. The latter option ral lied to 63Xc on the heavy clearances. but the selling which the slump in December started brought the price down to 63c. The market grew very heavy toward the close. Selling pres sure was removed in a degree, but the weak cash situation was very effectual in keeping buyers away and prices kept declining to the end. December closed at 1c decline
 Corn was weak all day. Cash inquiry was fair. but not much business done. The market
 Oats were influenced by wheat and corn.
