TIE Trading in Grain and Provisions
Was Exceptionally Dull.
CORN LOST THpEE.EIGHTHS OF A CENT
There Was Little ReouperatiVe Power
Displsyed--Wheat Closed One-e'9nu
Decentralization Slightly Up.

Chicago, October All markets were
dull on the board Of trade today and De
cember corn closed y lower; December
wheat u depressed and December oats
shade down. Provisions closed Arm . to
12h up.
Pit conditions prevailed in a lower corn
market which had little recuperative power.
Statistics were bearish and lacking de
cldcd leadership, the crowd favoring the
selling side. December opened 4 to a
lower at 5G& to 56Ss on lower cables ana
good weather for maturing crops. The out
side demand was slow and nearly all the
buying was for the short interest. Deem
Der worked off to 56M, but recovered most
of the loss until SHOWS report came out
indicating one point higher in last month $
crop condition. This depressed the mar
ket again and December closed weak y
down at 56I2. Receipts, 2lO cars.
Wheat ruled easier with nothing of In
tercst in speculative way. The few or
ders placed were not enough to influence
the market one way or another. December
opened X to a down at 6j5s to 6Sl5 on
| lower cables. heavy receipts and fine mar
| vestlug weather Most OF the traders de-
| serted wheat for the corn pit ana as a
result wheat followed the coarse cereal
somewhat. December 1uctuatcd very mar
| rowy and touched 6SAm6S5s, closing steady
/ u lower at 6S9s. Local receipts were l4S
cars, two of contract grade. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported $50 cars, making
total for the three points Of 1903 against
800 last week and 800 a year ago. Pri-
mary receipts were 1,314,442 bushels com
pared with 1.064.OOO last year. Argentine
shipments this week were 10000 bushels
against 6G4, 900 last year. Seaboard clear
ances In wheat and flour were 34,VWJ
bushels. The scaboard reported twelve
loads taken for export.
Oats were slack with a Northwestern de
mand the only feature. Prices worked OF
early on commission house selling but later
December rccuperated and closed steady Q

was only local and light. January porS
