CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Sept. is.-7hssertions that a
heavy defeat had been suffered by the Bul.
garians In Macedonia acted as weight on
the wheat market here today. The outcome
was an unsettled close, 2Sc to- 3Mc net
lower with December at ,}i.6l. and May at
ti.biM 10 t.6ik. Other leading commodi-
ties shared In the decline In corn OF ~,
oats Nc to ic and provisions 2Hc TO 25o.
Bears had control Of the wheat market
Throughout tho session, and were Ablc to
prevent any import rallies In the last hour
especially many holdings were sacrificed on
automatic stop-loss orders to SELL The
failure Of the Liverpool market to respond
10 yesterdays advance here gave an unex-
peeted advantage to the bears at the start
but selling did not assume unusual proper
lions until after dispatches were at hand
telling Of huge losses by tho Buigarians In
battle lasting thirty-six hours. The
obvious inference was that the victory for
the Anglo French allies meant improved
chances OF the opening Of tho pardanelles,
and perhaps implied the speediest estimate
| OF rail route for Roumania and Russian
supplies to reach the Mediterranean.
siackenins Of milling and export demand
for wheat tended further to discourage tho
bulls. The falling off In the call from do.
nestle millers was particularly noticeable
on account OF the fact that difficulties re-
sultinw in Great Britain from the English
mill Operatives strike seemed to be grow.
Ing moro acute.
Corn values eased down owing largely to
continued favorable weather for the ripsn-
ing Of the crop. Field reports especially
from Nebraska wers for the most part cp-
timistic. Oats fells with corn and wheat
sales Of 100000 bushels to exporters failed
to prove much Of an offset.
Free selling In which packers took a
conspicuous part turned the provision mar
ket downsrade. The weakness In grains
formed a decided handicap for the bulls
