CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Wheat showed consid-
cradle weakness at the start. Both foreign and
domestic news of bearish nature Liver
pool showed %4q1iad decline and Paris was off
Is confines. Receipts here were 312 cars, OF
which 80 of contract grade, Besides this
about 200, 900 bushels of contract wheat was re-
ceived by lake and out of private houses. Min
neapolis ana Duluth reported 1863 cars, against
1898 last week and 1927 year ago. Before the
market had fairly started weakness began to
develop in cash wheat in the Northwest, which
had its effect here. The market touched 6S4sc
for a moment, but selling pressure was too
much for the very moderate demand and prices
slowly sagged off. For the first hour SO
nothing occurred to check the bearishness ex
cept an indication that the visible supply state
ment might show decrease instead OF show
ing LOCO. 600 bushels increase as expected. Lii
quotation became less urgent after that and
the market rallied TO 63Ac. No more fuctua-
tons of note occurred until after the visible
supply statement came out. This was sur

difficulty in satisfying their demands. Another
feature in the strength was rumors OF heavy
that 100 loads had been disposed OF late Sat
urday night and to-day. These figures were
disputed by shippers, but had their effect
nevertheless. Primary receipts amounted to
l. 1872 600 bushels; amount passage in
creased 2,4S0. 900 bushels. The market became
very strong toward the close. trading increas-
Ing greatly in volume and a substantial ad-
vance in prices took place. December closed
Corn was slow until near the close, when it
developed considerable strength. December
closed &c higher
Oats dull and embarrassing until near
the close, when, in sympathy with wheat and
corn, the market became fairly active and
firm. May closed shade higher.
Provisions were fairly active. Yellow fever
news and liberal hog receipts responsible
for weakness at the opening and lower prices
prevailed for some time. Demand from pack
ers and shorts became fairly heavy later. and.
offerings falling off, prices advanced rapidly.
January pork closed 15c higher. January lard
TIC higher and January ribs INC higher.
