Late mail adv1ces from New York say: 1.-The
situation on new California raisins was more
unsettled than ever yesterday and local buyers
have about given up trying to get raisins until
matters on the coast adjust themselves. There
Is no lack Of buyers who would take round
lots at the last reduction of prices but the
trade seems now TO consider getting goods at
the quotations almost absolutely hopeless. None
of the orders sent out Monday at the low
prices, 50 far as can be discovered, has been
confirmed by the association and there was
little further effort made yesterday to get bust
ness accepted.
The spot raisin market has been very little
II any affected by the mix up the coast
Stocks Of nearly all descriptions Of domestic
raisns are very light, scarcely enough, it is
believed TO meet normal consumptive require

liberal but very closely controlled and in
strong hands. New Valencia layer raisins, ar

Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO. Oct There were both bullish
and bearish conditions at the wheat opening
which tended to influence the market in both
directions. Cables were higher and there was
a marked decrease on passage, which caused
December to open 1s@Hc to Ac higher at
69Hc to 69H9692sc Under the influences of
heavy worlds shipments and liberal receipts,
however the market eased off to 6S7sc. There
was some early short selling, but on a report
of an improvement in the export demand the
shorts began to cover and strengthened De-
cember. The report of a considerable increase
in the worlds visible supply. however, eased
prices for time, but the bulls rallied and
December became more active and closed firm
12c advanced at 691a a0695sc
Corn had a quiet, narrow market of To-
cal professional character. There was little
or no outside demand and local offerings were
light and, following wheat, December gained
strength throughout the session. December
closed firm, 3s@12c advance at 57Ac
Oats were quiet. December ruled narrow and
