uture 1fssiG and PROVISIONS
CHICAGO. Oct. 2.-Absence of export demand
mere and at northwestern grain centers caused a
slump in wheat prices the local exchange to-
day, the final quotations showing net losses of
Is a! sc. Corn and oats also closed weak. but
provisions firm.
with the exception OF one or two mild rallies
the wheat market weak the entire session
ana closed at almost the lowest point Of the
ca5- at one time fair rally was experienced
on reported heavy sales OF flour by Minneapolis
nltlers, and later prices again made slight
gains on report from New York which claimed
that " boatloads of wheat had been sold for
export This later found to be untrue
the shipment being only 16 boatloads. The
market was also bearishly affected by liberal
export movement from Argentina, and continued
heaVy movement from the northwest. Clear
bushels exports for the week shown by
Bradstreet were equal to G 4S3 900 bushels
Corn was strong early in the day con-
timed excellent demand for cash grain by
Shippers Trade was rather quiet late in the
day and the market closed at almost the bottom
with prices 112@1Ssc lower
oats were firm the greater part of the Gay
but eased on late in the session, owing to the
weakness of wheat and corn, and closed shade
to sc below the previous close. The strength
of cash oats, which were up "a 4@1ac, was one Of
the chief bullisb influences
Provisions held hrm all day despite the weak
ness manifested in the grain market and closed
at net gains Of 2IaGgl0c A feature of the
trading was the buying OF October pork by
local packers.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
