Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Pit conditions prevailed in
a lower corn market which had little recupera-
tive power. Statistics were bearish and. lack
ing decided leadership, the crowd favored the
selling side. December opened hQAc lower at
56a4 Q565sc on lower cables and on good weather
for maturing crops. The outside demand was
slow and nearly all the buying was for the
short interest. December worked off to $3.50,
but recovered most of the loss until Shows re-
port came out, indicating point higher in last
months crop condition. This depressed the
market again and December closed weak &c
down, at 5612c.
Wheat ruled easier with nothing Of interest
in a speculative way The few orders placed
were not enough to influence the market either
way December opened 1s@Ac down at $3.50
6S1ac on lower cables heavy receipts and fine
harvesting weather. Most of the traders de-
serted wheat for the corn pit and as result
wheat followed the coarser cereal somewhat
December fluctuated very narrowly and touched
6S2z 46S7sc. closing steady 1sc lower, at 6S9sc
Oats were dull. December closed a shade
lower at 35H @35ssc.
Provisions gained some strength on higher
prices for hogs, but the trade was only local
and light. January pork closed 121Ac higher,
lard sc up and ribs 715@10c higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
