Ing side. Minneapolis put her sales OF
flour yesterday at $4,000 barrels.
Broomhall cabled that the Australian
crop had been damaged by drought and
there was wet weather In the NORTH
west which promised to cut OF to some
extent the arrivals In that quarter
With all of this the temper OF the trade
was skeptical. Some OF the important
interests here seemed ranged on the
selling side and there was fairly free
selling from st. Louis. Local export
ers were bearish and claimed that the
advance here had carried them out OF
line so far ms exports from Chicago
were concerned. The actual Hearings
OF the day were 477,OOO bushels, Prl-
mary market receipts were 1,66T.OO0
bushels. against 1.375,00O bushels year
ago. Arrivals here were 159 cars,
against 1853 last year and Minneapolis
and Duluth received LBS cars, as CON-
pared with 1910 last week and 920 n
year ago. Though sales OF December
were made early around Csc to 65&c, an
advance over last nights close OF IA
&c, there was a backset TO 64FsG6l&c
before noon. Directly after that time
reports OF ninety loads OF wheat and
eighty-seVen OF corn taken for export
at New York started the price up to
65ssc again. The weekly as well as the
daily calls, were in this vicinity and
considerable opposition was experience
ed. During the closing hour the report
Of export business Mt New York were
swelled to 100 loads, with an accom-
panying tale OF 1l2 loads OF corn. The
resulting excitement was intense
enough to carry December wheat up to
65ihc, where II was met by the offerings
of numerous people who had good pro-
fits and were willing to take them,
Though the New York stories were sup
plemented with reports OF 10000 BUSH
els cash wheat and over 100000 BUSH
els cash corn disposed OF here, 1t did
not tighten Che load Of those OF whom
the property had been dumped and In
their EFFORT TO shift the weight the
market was slumped down 10 64hc for
December and the close was at 64h@
6iAc. Another depressing feature near
the close was 4 decline OF &c per bushel
ut Buda Pest to-day and &c In the past
three days.
An enormous export business and
higher cables caused strong feeling in
corn at the opening. There was tenn
porarV weak spot early, however on
account OF very liberal sales By those
who had profits In sight New York
reported thirty boatloads engaged for
export before the opening here and this
total was swelled to liz loads In the
course OF the day. That threw the old
bull crowd into the breach and speedily
developed a strong market which con-
tinued until wheat came 90 disaster
when corn traversed tho same road.
December began hGNc higher Mt 3OssGr

closing figure to-day.
A scattered demand from scalpers
and shorts Improved oats early. De-
cember was comparatively very much
stronger than May, the spread being
narrowed bR &c. There was n good
shipping demand and cash prices show

then fell on to &c at the close.
More reassuring yellow fever news
from the south and an advance In the
price Of hogs Mt the yards strengthened
provisions Mt the start. There were large
receipts OF hogs at the principal west
