made at an advance OF about 1Oc. a heavy
fall Of snow delayed traffic considerably.
and when buyers first started out a small
portion OF the estimated supply had
shown up. For a while buyers took
ward $50 they began to get pretty well
filled up, and as there were indications
that the receipts would be even larger
than the early estimate values began TO
early strength and the balance of the
offerings sold at figures that looked TO
be about a nickel below the opening.
On the whole the market can be quoted
as 5q10c higher. Bulk OF the sales was
made at N.6a7 20 with quite sprink-
ling up to T75, the latter price being
the top. Trade was fairly active during

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and ciosinE
Prices ON Board OF Trade.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Relief from drouth
IN Argentina led to a setback today Tor
the price of wheat lAs result the tne
showed a gain Of hdAc over last night
and oats a decline of kc to %qhc. In
provisions. the outcome varied from zfSc
loss to a rise OF 1oc.
Argentina dispatches that told of SUI
ficient moisture for wheat everywhere
except near Bahia Blanca had a bearish
Influence which was not entirely over
come during the day. There was also a
general snow fall throughout Kansas and
Nebraska, making the best conditions for
the growing crop. Accordingly short
sellers who had Withdrawn from the
market yesterday, came back In force
and put quotations under an amount OF
pressure that the bulls of even the most
stubborn sort could not entirely with
stand
Wheat prices would doubtless have had
q greater fall had IL not been for the
fact that primary receipts were much
smaller than year ago Further sus-
the worlds available supply Increase ap-
peared absurdly slender compared with
what experience would suggest.
Prospect that the winter basis of feed
in" would be established without delay
81 rated the corn trade from wheat.
Rt LIKING OF profits by longs eased off
the market a little about midday, but
the close was almost at the top figures
of the session.
Heaviness in oats resulted from hedR
ing. sales here BY Winnipeg buyers OF
ca lots. The stock OF oats In Chicago
Is ,-acreasing but the supply still shows
an unwieldy excess, judged by last year :
figures.
Moderate Investment demand with cov-
ering by shorts made provisions generally
firm Predictions that the cold weather
would bring increased hog receipts were
rot needed
