z. II. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Wheat-The war
scare and peace rumors have been
the chief influence today. The open
ing was much higher under the influ-
ence of a twenty-four hour ultimatum,
said to have been given Russia by
England. This bulge called out heavy
realizing sales from strong local and
Northwestern sources, and was follow
ed by report that Russia had recalled
the offending Baltic fleet admiral and
peace was restored. The bulge had
been taken advantage of by many be-
lated longs who had failed to sell dur
ing the closing weakness yesterday,
while there was at the same time
quite general covering by The shorts
who had sold too confidently. Mean
while New York reported foreign SELL
ing of May there. Duluth reported all
offers of Manitoba wheat having been
accepted and higher bids offered for
more. The break was followed in turn
by later messages announcing Russia
willing to make and reperation, accept
the one asked-recall of the Russian
admiral-and also saying the British
channel fleet was ordered ready for
action. This was not generally cred
tied but nevertheless prices recovered
some from the low point which was
u cent below yesterdays close. Cash
prices today one or two cents above
yesterdays. seaboard sales reported
at Is boat loads, possibly including
seven from Duluth. Don't get short
this wheat now.
Corn The war was as influential
in corn as in wheat in forcing a cover
ing Of shorts. There was early infiuen-
tial selling from scattered sources on
the rallies. Weather turnout the west
is excellent. Offerings of new corn are
increasing heavily, particularly from
Nebraska. Acceptances on bids sent
out last night resulted In 100000 BUSH
els. Corn fluctuations We're much the
same. as in wheat Seaboard sales,
eight loads. Actual exports, $4,000.
