Talbot g. Palmer's Grain Letter
Chicago October 31.-Wheat-Liverpoo
closed SD higher, London SD higher; north
west cars, 300 bushels, against 1,725 bushels
dast year. The market here today was a
political affair, the higher cables and lower
consols rejecting the war situation abroad,
which was disquietlng, and creates the i'm
preston of being longer drawn out than
has been expected by anybody. The dis
erepancy between primary receipts NOW
and last year continues very marked. The
fiuctua tions were narrow, and the interest
centered principally in calls. Sellers Of
them and some shorts were the best buy
ers. The situation is rather mixed.
Corn started firm with the moderate re-
ceipts, but eased off as the cables We're sd
lower, which induced some local selling,
but on the estimated receipts for tomorrow
coming out as only 24o ears, and with the
strength in wheat, the market showed some
little advance, but drifted into dullness. and
closed steady without special feature. There
were only twelve loads of corn reported
for export. $1,000
