CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
On Buliish News From Abroad Wheat Takes
An upturn.

Chicago, Nov. 2s.-Railroad embargoes
and marine peris that threatened to bring
to a standstill shipments OF grain, led to
a semi panic In the wheat market today
Exciting breaks In values, as rVich at one
time AS 1889 bushel. were followed by
partial rallies. The close. nevertheless, was
wild, at $l,e6 to s1,67h for December and
N,74h to $l.7b for May, with the market as
a whole 9 to Nc under yesterdays finish
Other leading staples, too. all showed a set
back-corn &c TO IN @2Nc, oats 2ho to &c.
and provisions 10 TO S0c.
Although much nervousness was shown by
tho wheat trade at various periods through
out the session. It was not until the last
hour that the fall In prices became Of an
extraordinary character. The fact however
that final buying orders seemed to have al
most vanished from the pit brought traders
to n sudden realization of what was implied
by virtual embargo on railroad transport
of grain to the seaboards. One after an
other OF late the railroad lines have been
giving notice that temporarily grain ship
mcnts could not be accepted. This was
especially the case today and ultimately
proceeded to such an extent that nearly all
roads east from Chicago were shown 10 be
involved in a general congestion of facih-
ties, shakeup due, In measure, to the
evident imposslbility Of obtaining an ade-
auate number OF ocean, freight vessels for
immediate sailing.
In the last thirty minutes OF trading the
tails Of this situation and by reports OF nu-
merous successes Of the German subma-
rincs, as well as by the torpedo boat raid
on the English coast. threw wheat holdings
on the market with a reckless energgy that
has seldom been equaled. The result was
that prices nuctuated as much as 4 cents ut
a time between trades, and the pit nearly
a bcdlam, while wheat that owners had
hoped to realize 81 or even 50 bushel on
was sacrificed In some cases as low as
Sissy.
Coarse grains tumbled with wheat. The
restrictions on shipping affected corn and
oats equally with the more expensive cereal.
but the liquidation OF holdings. although
severe, did not draw out the haif-frenzied
eagerness shown In wheat,
Provisions gave way. chiefly owing 10
weakness In the hog market. Arrivals Of
hogs throughout the west were greatly in
excess OF the number on the corresponding
day year ago.

Cattie--Beef cattle were In fair demand
this morning, the trade being reasonably
active, while prices were steady to little
stronger. Good cornfed cattle sold up as
high an 1880. Stockers and feeders, owing
10 the foot and mouth disease scare which
makes the handling Of such cattle outside
tho state OF Nebraska more or less uncer-
tain and difficult, were slow. Some Of the
best cattle that were picked up by outside
buyers commanded about steady prices but
the palmer kinds were very difficult to
move a. speculative buyers were pretty gen.
orally out Of the market Commission men
~ rule are advising the country against
shipping stockers and feeders until the
question regarding the foot and mouth dis
ease has been definitely settled.

Hogs--Another very liberal run Of hogs
was reported In this morning. Receipts
wseh a ~ heaviest one.dsy su vyov mere
since February, Total for the two days Is
also unusually heavy. amounting to SAt2b
head. ~ compared with 1885, last week.
2o.ss3 two weeks ago and 1890 year
ago.
Continued heavy receipts finally Lad their
natural effect on the market, prices taking
Z severe drop today. Early shipper pur-
chases were = dime off. while the first hogs
packers bought were generally 10@l6c
lower. and tho outlet was very restricted on
that basis, most buyers wanting hogs at
i5625c reductions.
After the early rounds the market be-
came still draggier, sellers being In no
hurry TO make the concessions packers were
asking. After later wires from Chicago
indicated 10000 lower trade. however,
local statesmen realised that they might as
well give In, and big share Of the desir-
able hogs sold at prices that were fully loo
lower.
Summing up tho general market, prices
ranged from 0tll6c lower to as much AZ csc
lower on lighter kinds, and tho average
promised TO be more than 15e under yester-
day Most grades closed at the low time
Of the day. though the best weighty hogs
were up to noon no more than ibc lower.
Bulk OF sales were quoted at ss.5o09.sb,
with tops at 5000. The representative sale
column today does not really reflect the
market accurately. for the most OF the
lights sold late in tho day. and consequently
many Of them were not weighed in time to
be quoted.

The seaboard reported rather large ex-
port sales to the British government, but
In spite OF this the wheat market had a
bearish tendency and closed about INC
under the opening quotations. The subma-
rines have caused much uneasiness In wheat
and with the underwriters raising the
freight rates on foreign shipments the trade
is Inclined to prefer the short side Of the
market.
There was very little export business In
corn and oats and both OF these markets
followed wheat on the decline. The corn
situation In Argentina has been helped con-
siderably by recent ralnfalls and this was
a bearish factor In the market.
The trading In the local pit was very
active and was featured by heavy selling
at the close, with May wheat carrying most
Of the trades. December wheat:
