Chicago, Nov. 1s.-Infuenced by the
steadiness Of cables. the smallness Of re-
ceipts and the strength Of outside mar
kets. which ruled firm today. closing "a
&c over yesterday. Corn, after being af-
fected by light receipts and strength of
wheat. was sc higher. Oats was 1sq4c
higher and provisions slightly lower.
Evidently in full agreement with the
reciprocity theory. wheat here opened
| strong, in response to the strength Of
Liverpool today, the latter market IN
| turn ascri5ing its steadiness to the firm
1 ness here yesterday. December opened
1 sc over yesterdays close and May &c
higher at 17sq711zc. The trade was ex-
! ceptionally dull and fluctuations were
within a range of nc. The price early
eased of shade on selling against calls.
/ but the depression was only momentary,
/ while bull sentiment had al last appar-
| emily become preponderant. Outside mar
/ kets showed advances and the continent
! was generally higher. ST. Louis was re-
/ ported to be buying in the local pit and
| ii was believed that exports would pick
up with the reduction in ocean freights.
Receipts were small and the demand from
-four mills reported improved. On buying
