BY Telegraph 10 The Tribune
Chicago, Oct. 5,As the result Of yesterdays re-
ported taking of 250,0OO bushels Duluth wheat for
Germany and further quantity to-day for the
same destination the wheat market was firm, as a
rule. There were many weak intervals, and
great aggregate OF business taken altogether.
At the close December and May wheat were each
l.c higher. Corn lacked activity. but showed much
strength, and the oats market both active and
strong Provisions were in tired condition, with
change of consequence in the days prices
compared with those of the day before. With yes
terday's German purchases Of Duluth wheat IN
mind at the opening Of the market for that com
modify there was demand for the limited offer
iugs at a shade better than the previous days
closing prices That being filed there was still
more for sale, the encouragement to those who
were Offering the grain being the Hberality of the
Northwestern receipts and the Indifferent tone of
public cable messages The latter considerations
rredorninated for only limited time. and prices,
which had declined a trihe following the opening
erigbt advance took a more decided upward course
The Armour house did not give the market any
omen support at the beginning but the gen
erlI IMPRESSION that it was still pulling the
strings behind the scenes that were making the
r,arfonettes in the pit go through their supposed
fndependeut raanoeuvres. Local receipts were Sc
cars With the bull card provided by Germany,
however there was less desire TO sell short, and
some 1,neasiness among those who had already
made their venture on that side.

as SIC and as low as S12c to S5Ssc-
srbe market for corn void Of activity. but
+tara was an rIndercurreat Of firmness prevailing
IN The face of the absolute perfection of the weather
for thA curing Of the crop. There were plenty OF
h,,,-ers for Nav corn at 43c and shade better at
the onenine. and at slightly better prices when
the strength Of the oats market began to influence
some Of the corn shorts Local receipts were IA
cars. Tho highest for old December was 45lsc' the
1o7res+ L.z.o The close was 45c. May closed at
A21Lc after selling as low as 427sc TO 43c and as

The largest speculative trade was centred IN the
oats Dit the first hour. The pit was bare of offer
ings and in consequence prices made rapid stride
inward The crop this year is no larger than last.
and so far more oats have been accepted than IN
