Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO Sept. 13.-Wheat opened very dull
and weak September at sc decline and De-
cember 12c below yesterdays close. The bull
ishness caused by the Government report had
entirely disappeared Foreign markets were
weak and lower and local and Northwest re-
cepts We're heavy. The market, with those
conditions prevailing, was apparently in a ses-
sion of dullness and further decline. But
shortly after the opening some sharp bidding
for September brought to light a condition of
affairs in that option that indicated a war
among prominent elevator interests for cash
wheat with the Weares and Peavey on one
side and Armour on the other In August,
when September was 22sG2I9c under December.
a large line, selling December and buying Sep
tember. Armour held the bulk of the cash
wheat and is said to have sold in the expecta-
ton of getting a larger carrying charge later
Instead however the difference has steadily
narrowed and efforts to-day on the part of
shorts TO cover a rather small line were unsuc-
cessful. Then prices began to jump. The mar
ket suddenly became very active. with big and
little shorts bidding for September wheat but
securing little until the price had jumped from
the opening figure of 70l2c TO 7214 472&sc AT
that price elevator people holding the wheat
pressure but the evident unwillngness OF
longs to sell except at enhanced values made
ket stirred up during the entire session. The
strength of September put shorts in the more
deferred futures on the anxious seat also and
business in December and May was active all
day with a steady advance in values Sep
tember reacted to 717sc and closed at that price.
December opened at I012nTOasc ana advanced to
713sc where it closed.
Corn was strong, though not especially active.
The strength of wheat was factor early and
later the good cash demand and some pros
poets of frost tonight stiffened the market still
more. September was especially strong. De-
cenber closed BQAc higher and September
12Gssc up.
Heavy selling by longs caused a slight de-
cline in oats. The market early firm, but
liquidation. which became general made
heavy market later. December closed a shade
lower.
Provisions were weak early on a fairly liberal
run of hogs. but rallied later the strength
of wheat and on the excellent cash demand
There was a cessation of the recent selling and
the general demand improved. At the close
October pork &c higher, lard 10c higher
and ribs 21265c higher.
