on the London exchange. In spite of the
apparent subsistence Of the Anglo-French
controversy. There was a sharp falling

Liverpool for wheat. which only yielded

Aside from this there wal q general ten

MARKETS.


Chicago. Nov. 2.-The fumored complica-
lions between Great Britain and Russia
gave wheat a firm start. The opening ad-
vance was added TO by heavy foreign ac-
~ceptances, New York early I'm the session
reporting 80 boat loads accepted on last
nights cable offerings to the other side,
and a Chicago house also had 10 boat
loads accepted direct.
English consols were &C lower to start
with and Northwest receipts were some
what lighter than the recent average. The
seaboard c~learances were not eXtraordi-
narily heavy, however. while the aggre-
gate of Western primary market receipts
were enormous, to 1.5s5,VO
bushels against 1.232. 900 bushels the cor
responding day of last year. In addition
to this. the early drop In British consols
was fully recovered about the middle OF
the session. That was too much for the
bulls. and the market dropped back to the
opening price before IL took another up
ward flight. Buda Pest was reported
3a4c higher.
Lower cables and the expectation of in
creased receipts on account of the i'm
proved weather weakened corn on the
start. A great deal of long corn was sold
and for some time the course of the mar
ket was downward. In the last hour OF
the session the tendency changed with
wheat and in the end became strongly
upward on heavy buying by shorts.
The sellers of yesterday changed their
views and bought back what they had dis
posed Of.
The Unexpectedly heavy decrease in
stocks of lard during October caused an
Improvement in provisions. The reduc-
ton I'm stocks was 5000 tierces. and IL was
said that the worlds stocks had been re-
duced by 100. 600 tierces. The English
houses opposed the advance In prices and
sold heavily on lard.
