CHICAGO, Sept 17.-Heavy clearances at
the coast today held prices steady in the
wheat pit September closed unchanged, De-
cember Ac higher. Corn rose &c. Oats ad-
vanced 1sGAc. Pork left off unchanged. Lard
212c higher, and ribs unchanged.
The wheat situation had no fresh light shed
upon it by early cablegrams dispatches
but the market started at a slight improve
ment for December delivery. September,
however showed a tendency in the opposite
direction, and that becoming more pro-
nounced, it dragged the active option in its
wake. A factor which helped the market
somewhat at the start was the report that
prominent business man of Ohio, who is now
travelling in Russia, had written to this coun-
try that he had learned from a Russian off,
cial that the wheat crop In the Voga dis
trict was q failure and that $4,000 600 bu Of
wheat from other parts of Russia would be
required to feed the population of that prov
1nce The rank and file of the speculative
crowd was like the leaves of the aspen, which
culver even when the air is calm, and that
supersensitiveness was shown by the futter
in the market that attends the spreading of
the old tale from the Volga. Chicago receipts
were 176 carloads against 246 the same DAY
last year. Minneapolis and Duluth received
i1l2 ears compared with LAB a year ago. The
Atlantic port clearances of wheat and -four
Tor the day amounted to a heavy aggregate
and that was the cause of considerable firm
ness in the market near the close Including
Clearances from New Orleans, Galveston and
Neport News, wheat and flour amounted to
715.G00 bu.
September wheat after opening unchanged
to 1sc lower at 651sQ65Ac, and declined to
642sc, was again wanted in the last ten min
utes at the price it started at and closed firm
at 65Ac December was similarly affected,
and turned from being quite weak to mod
erately strong and closed practically at the
top. The opening was nc higher at 62%c, de-
clined to 62Ac, then firmed up to 625s662slc.
the closing price.
Corn was dull, but firm. The market opened
above the price of calls, and there was some
selling against those privileges but the offer
ings were not sufficient to materially influ-
ence values. The initial upturn was due to
moderate buying by commission houses.
Prices held steady on a very dull trade
throughout the session, and closed near the
top price of the day. December opened &c
higher at 29$4c, declined to 2sssc irmed up
TO 29$4G297sc, and closed at 29$4c.
Oats demonstrated their ability to follow
corn. Trading was light and nothing of i'm
portance developed. May started 1sc up at
22lsc, declined to pc, then improved to 22h0
22Ac, the closing price
Provisions were firmer, but very quiet
Packers were inclined to buy, and there was
no pressure to sell. The feature of the DAYS
trading was the purchase of 300, 900 pounds
Of ribs by prominent packer. The general
trade was light, and the range of prices in
consequential.
Estimated receipts for Monday are: Wheat,
10 cars; corn. $40; oats, 800; hogs, SO, 600
