Chicago. Sept. 25.-Wheat and corn were
irregular. the former closing strong, with
Dec. hsG%c highe-, the latter steady for
the same month. at a gain of 2sGkc.
Oats ruled steady at better prices. Dec.

WHEAT.
At the opening there was good buying
by local shorts, with some demand for
the long account on strong outside mar
kets and steady cables. Dec. was up Isc
to sc at 76Ysc to &c. and soon advanced
to 77lsc, with a marked bullish sentiment.
After holding steady at the advance for
a time the market gradually eased off on
the resumption of liquidation, due to a
tavorable aspect ia the strike situation at
abroad, with lack of outside supporting
orders. Long wheat came out on stop
orders n the weakness that developed
carried Dec. down to 76lsc before the mood
ness. The close was steady. with the
loss entirely regained-77isc for Dec.-at

and 1874 a year ago.
CORN.
Corn was firmer at the outset. with
covering by provision people the feature,
and early showed a substantial advance
over the opening. Cash and commission
houses were also good buyers and helped
the upward tendency. Before noon. how
ever, liquidation on the advance brought
about a reaction and the market lost all
of the early improvement. Uncertainty
manifested in the stock list curtailed spec
ulation and the break IN wheat influenced
corn values. Towar the end of the ses-
sion there was a rally On Improvement
in export demand and some damaged re-
ports from the country giving the market
a steady feeling, with prices back near the
top. Dec. closed at 46Ac, a gain of sale,
after ranging between 46ssc and SIC. Lo-
cal receipts were ass cars, with Al grad

OATS.
The oats market was fairly steady dur
ing most of the session. but in the last
hour weakened with other grains. There
was a slight rally at the close, n Dec.
was a shade better at 37Kc. ranging be-
tween 37Nc and 36isc. Local receipts
were 129 cars.
