CHICAGO, oct. IA--Confronted by pros
poets OF an adoIJional DiB increase or the
Visible supply the wheat market !ooay
undsr last night. Corn declined no nc
TO nc net anu oats tsc 10 No. The end
or lne day left provisions varying from
unchanged to &c aaVance.
Receipts oil wheat were large, not only
in the United States but also across the
Canadian line. Arrivals Tor the week AZ
primary points reached more tnan 2,VOQ0OJ
bushels In excess or the total year ago.
Furthermore, II was SHOWN tnat the
European crop had proven to be the third
largest on RECORD, ana not great way
below the bumper yield of lSVJ, Under
such conditions the importance OF the
shortage in Russia was minimi1ed to an
extent that only short time ago would
bulls were still more discouraged by re-
ports that cash sales here mad not
amounted TO nearly as generous an Az
Bregate as most traders believed and that
the transactions were chiefly in the soft
winter wheat trade. In consequence, the
market at no time displayed any sign
OF being elastic, and the close was at Al
most the lowest level of the day, De-
cemOer, during the session, tluotuated
from 9S7sc 10 SS1s9yy54c, with last sales
ssAc, & net loss OF &c.
Official predictions u fair weather led
many longs TO reduce their holdings or
corn. Weakness ensued AS there was but
little short interest TO absorb the OFFER
ings December ranged from 64ltc to b4Hc,

ness in the cash market. Iop and pot
tom figures tor December were 9,AI4oc
and Hssc, with the close nc OF at 4i7sc.
Provisions trailed upward after noBs.
At the last gong, pork was E1he to &C
dearer, and the remainder OF the list
either unchanged or al an advance Of not
to exceed a nickel.
