CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Large sales for export
to-day and report of damage TO crop IN mani

wheat prices after an early decline. Decem-

lard sc and ribs 212q5c.
Stormy weather throughout the West ana
Northwest a little uneasiness over the war
situation abroad and reports from the sea-
bonrd of a continued good export demand for
wheat started the market strong. Easier mar
kets abroad and fears of a large increase IN
the visible supply which were afterward veri-
fed caused period of uneasiness shortly after
the opening. There was flood Of bullish news
later however, which caused a general STAN
pede of the early short sellers. Reports from
New York TO the effect that exporters
were buying December wheat freely, with the
ocean freight rates advanced to 13 cents TO Ant
werp which is considerably above the highest
Letter and war figures last spring. The reason
given for the advance was that 100000 bushels
had been engaged for export to-day and that
there had already existed scarcity of vessel
room. Minneapolis sent reports that her flour
sales were enormous, with the cash wheat mar
ket strong, and that the Manitoba crop had
g. 600. 900 bushels by the incessant rains OF the
last three weeks. Receips were LIBERAL Chi

and shipments of wheat from Russia last week

the week before Continued reiteration of the
reports of damage by drought IN Australia and
by wet weather to the wheat in shock In Mani
toba finally carried December up TO 64Ac near
the close.
There was a big trade in corn and prices
scored a substantial advance Wet weather
throughout the corn belt with its prospect of
further cutting down the receipts from the
country was the leading influence. The visi-
BILE supply increased 1851, 900 bushels last week.
