Chicaxo, Oct 2s.-1mproved weather
In the northwest and increased receipts
ct Minneapolis and Duluth today sent
wheat down grade. Better crop condi-
lions in Argentina and India acted also
against the bulls. Support came only
from shorts and they showed no spe-
cial eagerness to buy. The opening
which was u lower to a shade up was
followed by q rather decided sag with
little sign Of any power to rally.
Reports of increasing stocks IN Rus
sta added to sentiment in favor OF the
bears. Later, however, offerings be-
came scanty and prices reacted. The
close was firm at an advance OF Is net.
Corn.
Corn eased off owing to predictions
Of several days Of fine weather. Prices
started a sixteenth down to Is advance
and then suffered a gradual setback.
Liberal sales Of Argentina cargoes
at the seaboard tended TO cause fur
Their depression. A recovery ensued
tho in consequence of expected poor
grading in a large part of Iowa. The
close was firm, Il to a @ Is higher.
Oats.
Oats reflected the course Of other
grains. Offerings were fair and de-
mand moderate.
Provisions.
Considerable demand for provisions
resulted from an upturn in the hog
market First sales were unchanged to
5 cents higher but the gains were not
well maintained.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-Wheat - Wheat
opened easy but, as was the case yes
terday, news kept growing more IA
vorable. and at the close. prices were
near the top and u to 4 higher than
yesterday. While we are not in line to
do business while Manitoba wheat is
running SO freely and being pressed for
sale, domestic milling demand has
shown decided Improvement Primary
receipts are running light for this time
Of year and the heaviest pressure from
first hands seems to be about over.
About the most depressing feature in
today's market was a cable from
Broomhau saying that all correspond
ents report a heavy production Of
wheat.
COMMUNICATIONS Of more favorable
weather brought early weakness in the
corn market. Heavy buying by local
bulls, followed by free short covering,
gave an early irmness to the last half
Of the session, the market closing at
practically top prices and u higher
than yesterday. Cash demand Of fair
volume was reported over night and
cash premiums were slightly I'M
proved. Husking returns. SO far as
they are reported, are Irregular
Enough Of them. however, are reported
as disappointing to cause a renewal Of
uneasiness over the short crop, which
was responsible for the sharp advance
of last month. Primary receipts are
much heavier than a year ago, but
shipments We're also relatively larger.
Oats-Again today, oats showed
more strength than other grains. News
Of the day was rather conflicting and
practically a stand-off but local traders
bought freely and shorts were forced
to cover Cash business was brisk.
$4,000 being reported sold here today.
Provisions-The tone in provisions
was firm and moderate gains in prices
were recorded. About the only pres
sure came from realizing by recent
purchases and on signs Of weakness
good support was IN evidence, Cash
trade continues to show improvement
