Chicago Gram Market.

CHICAGO, Oct 16.-Wheat opened weak with
the sentiment decidedly bearsh. Everything
seemed to be against the bulls. The drought
in the Southwest was reported completely
broken, world shipments exceeded European
requirements by over a million bushels and
the indications were that the visible supply
when completed would show a heavy increase
while the amount passage had in
creased a million bushels. Under those con-
ditiCns the bulls became thoroughly disheart-
ened and left the bears in full control of the

weather prevailing throughout the West would
retard the movement encouraged heavy buy-
ing after about hour and a half of weak
ness, and the early decline was partly re-
covered. December closed with buyers at
