TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Sept 19-wHEAT-wheat
prices tended downward today owing to
increased selling pressure and the absence
of any urgent demand. Reports of the
presence of a new German raider on the
Atlantic and destruction within the last
ten days of vessels aggregating 74.0SS tons
are said to count against the bulls. EN-
barge on export grain at Newport News
acted as a further weight, on the market.
Opening prices, which ranged from nc to
1Kc lower with December at $I47A to
81 ASH and May at s1.4sA to S1.49 were
followed by moderate additional setback.
Subsequently liberal sales to Great Brit
ain turned the market sharply up grade
The close was unsettled at &c to 11ac net
advance with December at $1.49% to $50
and May at $1.505s.
CORNICorn gave way with wheat. Re
ports of damage by frost seemed to have
lost force as market influence After
opening Nc to &c down, prices rallied a
little but then sank lower than before
In later transactions the market felt the
effect Of the bulge in wheat. The close
was steady at a range varying from 14c
OATS-In oats, heaviness prevailed as
in other cereals. Business was confined
to pit traders.

hogs lifted provisions. Shorts and pack
ers were buyers.
