MINING STOCKS
PRODUCE.

Chicago, October 21.-Though the dis
appearance of the European war scare
was the ostensibie leading influence in
wheat to-day, the action of the market
here indicated that the trade had been
pretty well water-logged by the enor-
nous quantities sold during the last
few days. Prices siumped sharply near
the close. December wheat closed Ike
lower. Corn lost 1Q11sc Oats de-
clined 12c. Pork, lard and ribs each
left off Zoe lower.
The disappearance of the European
war rumors and cable advices that the
continental markets were entirely in
different to the excitement raised yes
terday, caused a concession inflated
prices of wheat here at the opening.
English consols had also recovered yes
terday's decline and wheat at LIVERPOOL
closed rs @1Ad lower than last night.
With such an array of conditions con-
fronting theme even in the most radical
bulls considered it prudent to at least
wait for reaction in prices. The fact
that the northwest receipts amounted
to 1,i90 carloads, as compared with S52
for the corresponding day last year,
and the total primary market arrivals
were liberal, did not increase the bull
courage. Nevertheless the seaboard re-
ported export business early, and had
the total up to seventy boatloads long
before noon. In addition to that there
were sales here of 100000 bushels cash
wheat at the lower level of prices. and
the northwest weather news was dis
quitting on account of the serious dam
age to the crop at Manitoba. Export
clearings from the Atlantic ports were
equal to 521 GOO bushels, and Chicago
receipts only amounted to 237 cars,
against PAT for the same day last week.
Primary market receipts were 1885. 0e0
bushels, against 1,041 eco bushels a year
ago, and the trade was counting on an
increase of 10000 bushels for the
week in the visible supply. There
was good general trade and it was
under those conditions that December
wheat which opened %@1c lower. at
67@67Ac. ranged between 667s 067lsc
during the forenoon, with the price
