Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO. Oct. 19.-Wheat opened easy and
lower. Disappointing cables and the steady in
crease of local stocks were the main factors
against the market. There was very little eff
fort made to follow up the decline, and after
the price had worked off sc the selling dis
appeared entirely. Then for two hours the mar
ket remained in n comatose state with fluc-
tuations narrow and trades widely separated.
During the last thirty minutes the frmness in
corn and complaints Of poor condition of win
ter wheat started upturn which was but
feebly contested and the market closed firm
at the best price of the day. The weakness
Of outside markets handicapped the trade. De-
cember opened Ac to sc lower at 7024 4Q707sc,
touched 7O7s671c. declined to 7O1kc, and ad-
vanced to Tic at the close.
Corn ruled firm and active. Buying became
pronounced that shorts were forced to cover
and a rapid advance followed. There was a
slight reaction profit taking. but elevator
buying and shipping demand caused an up
turn, and the market closed at the top Light
receipts and poor huskings returns accelerated
the advance. December rose to 32hc at the
close
Buying by shorts and strength in corn
steaded oats. The easiness of ocean rates
helped the advance. December closed with
sellers at 223sc.
Provisions slumped quite early when any
selling pressure was applied to the market
There was no fresh feature connected with the
trade to account for the weakness January
pork closed 10c lower at SO 30d9 321k: January
lard. sc lower at S. 32h, and January ribs TIC
lower at S4 Sly.

THE hide business has been very active

tr4t the Hide market shows to-day higher

OF the Hide trade. The general business IN
raw material is very active, and hides there
fore follow the trend of the general market
ana are pushed up 10 very liberal nEuIes
The present values will probably last unlll

however. look for any special decline in the

huHine freely and there are no stocks OF
Hides ru the market. Harness. skirting and
sole leather have been sold in quantity at Ialr
prices. and the better grades of Hides, those
that are well taken care of and in good con
ditiar. command high figures. Wet salted
heavy steers are in demand for harness and
sole leather Wet salted medium and hght
steers sell freely. Wet salted cows bring tuI
prices Wet salted kip. veal and calf are
firm and rule at liberal values. Dry Hides
during the past month have shown advancing
