Chicago, October 25.-War or no
war between England and France was
the paramount question in the speoula-
tive pits to-day, and the general opin-
! loh was that private solution Of the
difficulties was more clearly in view
than could he believed yesterday. A
general decline resulted amounting to

English consols were again lower at
the start, and the Liverpool market
opened excitirgly higher. The logical
results of that 10y itself had been a
wild scramble for wheat here and a
much more material rise in prices
than occurred the day before. Wheat
spectators had, however, to take &C
count of many things that were not
paraded in view of the multitude and
it was due to some OF those obscure
influences that q severe decline in
prices that iIaugurated the days bust
ness was not so illogical as appeared
upon the surface. Many Of the active

settlement of the FasnOda difficulty
and fastened to rid themselves of their
war-priced wheat English consols
later in the day recovered their early
! decline. This was hailed as the har
binger OF peace and helped to bring
out more long wheat and even some
from the more careful short sellers

The weak feeling that had prevailed
in the market during the first part OF
! the session was arrested for time
by a report from New York that !oo
hoatIc9ds of wheat had been sold TOT
export. Traders as rule mere were
not disposed to believe IN such heaVy
! business, however, and pointed TO the
easier tone in both lake and ocean
freights as opposed to its probability

That was disappointing to the pears,
ard the market rallied a little on it

Oats ruled with the selling of long

| and it did not require much assistance
! from the declining wheat and corn TO
cause prices to fall off. Receipts were
only 2O2 cars, the movement being cur

Heavy grain markets and further
