Chicago Gram Market.

CHICAGO. Oct. 10.-A decline of sc marked
the opening in wheat Even at their conces-
SION there was little demand and under liqui
oation by longs, mostly OF local nature
sun turther recession in prices took place.
Liverpool was slightly lower at the start, but
developed radical weakness before the close
OF the session there. 1t reflected the views OF
traders in regard to war prospects in the
IransVaal. which were evidently considered
much more remote, and this fact had a strong
influence on local trading An equally i'm
portant factor was the prospects of a heavy
increase In the visible supply The increase
was finally announced at 2S03 600 bushels
LEGAL stocks showed an increase of $50 600
bushels. Another source of weakness was the
enormous primary receipts. ?461.O00 bushels
compared with 2,0l5 600 bushels a year ago
The opening price for December was 72A Q729sc
against saturday s closing Of 72Ss072Ac. The
price worked down to 721sc. where a little COW
erlng by shorts caused period OF steadiness
The demand limited however and when
Satlsned the market again slowly declined
keeping on the downward course until we'll In
the afternoon. The trading was narrow. The
Iorthcomlng crop report had a restraining in
1uence and the absence of demand was but
another factor in the weakness The price was
almost continually under puts and not until
near the close was any indication of rally
apparent The December price in the mean
time got down to 1&G717sc. A break OF almost
cred quite freely toward the close and caused
an ADVANCE to 72h@72Ac. where the market
closed A report from New York that sixty
loads had been engaged for export had some
influence in causing the late rally.
Corn during the morning was active and
strong. Elevator people and commission
houses were sharp competitors for all offerings
Later the feeling became easier on predictions
Of general rains and part of the advance was
