GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Sept 17.-Weakness of coarse
grains for the greater part of the day and
persistent selling by local traders caused
an easier closing in the wheat market
today. The final quotations showed De
cember wheat 1z@&4c lower. Corn was
down }s99sc. Oats were 1sc higher. Pro-
visions We're down sc.
Because OF rains in the northwest and
southwest. the market opened slightly
higher. Commission houses were good
buyers but pit traders commenced selling
at once and continued offering wheat un-
til the end of the session. The steady
pounding finally had it's effect The weak
ness in the coarse grains was also against
the bulls and there was much selling for
profits the advance in prices having been
steady for several days Cables were UP
I'D on firmed American offers and small
er shipments TO the United Kingdom. The
shipments from Russia and ports on the
Danube were about one-half the amount
for the same day last year. Other bullish
news was contained in the Indiana crop
report, which showed a wheat yield Of
100000 less than that of the government
crop report. Cash markets were strong
December wheat opened sc 10 14c high
er at I312c to 13%sC, sold between 72Ss6D
1224c and 1859 and closed easy at 72249
I21sC, y TO Il Of a cent lower.
The corn market was heavy all day
Local receipts were heavy and general
rains throughout the corn belt also weak
ened prices Clearances were small and
primary receipts were $4,000 higher than
for the same day last year. The local
cash market was affected by the liberal
movement and declined nc to sc. Gables
were sd lower at 421sc to 42Lc sold be-
tween 473sc and 4214c, and closed easy at
417sg4212c to Sc below the close of Satur-
day.
The oats market was weak during the
greater part of the day, being strongly af-
fected by the slump in corn The local
cash market, however, held firm and later
in the day all OF the early loss was re-
covered and the market closed steady
and sc higher. December opened I'M
changed at 3212c, sold between 32Ikc and
321sC and closed at 325sc
There was no particular feature to the
provisions market and the list ruled fairly
steady. Hogs were steady and the bulls
were encouraged by the fact that the
run seems TO be growing lighter. The
domestic cash demand was good. At the
close January pork was sc lower Lard
