Chicago Gram Market.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2S.-Wheat opened strong
and active. Complaints of damage by drouth
in the Southwest and higher Liverpool cables
Notwithstanding the downward tendency of the
market here for the last week, caused the
change in sentiment. Buying was heavy from
the outset, and as offerings were scarce the
market soon got above call figures. Profit
taking and selling by holders of privileges
caused a slight reaction after 1ac had been
added 10 the opening advance. but corn had
begun to show decided strength shorts became
anxious and ran cover. Outside buying
hastened the upturn that followed and the
price tended upward the remainder of the ses-
sion. the market closing strong at the best
price of the day. smaller increase in the
visible supply than expected and liberal clear
ances helped to maintain the advance. De-
cember opened a shade higher 697sd7Oc, ad-
vanced to 702sc. sold off to 7014c and advanced
TO 10% d707sc the close.
Corn started strong and kept improving
little right along until within half an hour
from the close, when profit-takng checked the
advance. Reports of poor yields and large
decrease in stocks coupled with the heavy
mestic consumption. was the basis of the mar
kets strength December closed at 3l&d3116c
Oats ruled quiet and the advance was due
almost entirely to sympathy with corn. De-
cember advanced 10 2224 46227sc at the close.
Higher prices for hogs and a good cash de-
mand strengthened provisions. The advance
in n further announcement and a
moderate gain was easily established. Janu-
ary pork closed 71zG10c higher, January lard
and ribs PIC higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
