" is well known that Chicago cash
grain handlers have bought largely of
cash wheat. not only at MINNEAPOLIS
but AT other points, and that this de-
inand has been pretty well satisfied for
the time being. Little new business
is being worked.
The movement Of wheat from tho
northwestern markets to Chicago will
give the carriers all they care to han
die Tor some time to come, and the
wheat that has been purchased i'm the
Northwest and intended for shipment

December contracts. There is a great
accumulation of low-grade wheat i'm

The receipts OF hogs at Western mar

of hogs at Chicago. as well as at the
smaller points, was the loves last
week OF the season. Indications are
for still further declines. There is no
