CHICAao LIVE sroCK.



 Chicago Nov. 8.--Continuance of an enormous movement of wheat in this country had a weakening effect on the wheat market here today and resulted in final losses of l-2 to 7-S compared with Saturdays close. Corn was drag ged down by a bearish government re- port and closed at net losses of 6-e to 5-S to 4-z. Oats also closed easy but provisions firm.
 Heaviness and inactivity character fixed trading in the wheat pit through out the entire session and at the close prices were almost at the bottom. There
 was a little iirmness at the start owing to a bulge of 1-2d to Id at Liverpool, but the market lacked support and prices soon eased of on only moder. ate selling. Sellers became somewhat more aggressive in the final hour fol- lowing the publication of the Govern ment report which made beartsh showing on the new corn crop. but the market failed to display any great amount of animation. Primary receipts aggregating i,eil, ,0o0 bushels compared
 with 1.1G0.000 bushels the correspond- ing day year ago told the story of the downward trend of prices. The December delivery ranged between 10l 7-s to 102 and 1o3 1-S during the { day, and closed at 102 1-S.
 Wet weather in the corn belt tmpart- ed slight firmness to the corn market at the opening but an official predic- | tion of colder tomorrow soon caused an easier tone.
