CHICAGO GRAINS.

- CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Big export business rallied the wheat market today after a material decline which was largely the result of rains in Argentina. Prices closed unsettled. s1.S5 to S1S5A for December and s1S414 for May with the market as a whole one cent off compared with yesterdays finish. Corn lost Is to F O $ and oats 14 O 2s to $. In provisions the outcome ranged from 21a decline to a rise of 25c.
 Export sales were estimated as high as 2,O0O,00O bushels.
 Many longs took advantage of rise on wheat prices and indulged in pro fit taking to such an extent that the market weakened toward the close.
 Increasing arrivals weakened the corn market. At times, however, wheat strength and the unsettled weather gave a temporary advantage to the bulls. Oats gave way with corn. Export buying tended to make the market relatively seady.
 Provisions, influenced by miscella- neous buying, developed firmness at the close. Earlier the market had eased off owing to a set back in the value of hogs.
