Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Sept. 14-Uncertainty in regard
to the September wheat situation made wheat
rather feverish at the opening. and for short
time a really large business was done. Cables
We're stronger and higher. and this and yes
terday's bulge in September due TO the eleva-
tor fight gave tone of bullishness to trading
that was reflected in slight opening advances
in the deferred futures. The bullishness grad
ually disappeared when Weare, who was so
prominent in yesterdays September deal,
seen to have considerable September to sell.
This at once relieved the tension in that
spect and the September premium, at one time
&c over December, gradually disappeared al
together. Rumors of private settlements OF
September among big shorts were current and
that gave rise TO the oe!lei that tne cohses-
tion had been relieved. The inclination among
local professionals was apparently to SELL and
support came principally from the outside,
most of the commission houses having buying
orders early. The September tension once re-
moved, the market became exceedingly dull.
New York reported good acceptances of last
nights cable offers and the Northwest reported
a good cash demand, but the market in a gen.
eral wav showed heaviness until the primary
receipts, 1,341, 900 bushels, when positive weak
ness developed. December opened shade high
at 712s@711zc. 1t advanced to 71Ac then
tember opened al 72G72Ac and declined to 707sc,
closing 12c lower at 1850. Weare was bid
caused the rally in that option Large pur-
chases of wheat at Southwestern points for
shipment to Chicago were reported.
Corn was irregular and fairly active. A fea-
ture was the strength of September, growing
with recent strength of September wheat and
the small stocks of corn, which made shorts
inclined to get out. Prices advanced sharply
early, but heavy liquidation by longs followed,
nearly all the advance being lost. The mar
ket rather easy late in the session. fol-
lowing wheat. December closed a shade lower
and September &c higher.
Oats very dull. December closed un-
changed from yesterday.
The market for provisions neglected.
There was some frmness early but the market
sympathized with the late weakness of wheat
and corn. Most of the light trading was in
the January product. At the close January
pork and ribs were shade lower and January
lard unchanged
