CHICAGO , Oct. 5. The slri'tigth de
veloped by outside markets today , together
with higher foreign advice ? , caused an ad-
vfcitco hero In wheat. December closed with
an improvement of ic. Corn rose 1-Sfitec.
Oats advanced UlrS-Sc. Provisions left off
at Virtually unchanged prices.
Advices from Liverpool reported wheat
steady. Notwithstanding the extreme weak-
IICHS hero yesterday It was still snowing a
llttlo In North Dakota and a good many
xllght-wclghtcd bears In the speculative
crowd went * hort over night. It was under
Hticli clrcumstanacc that a llrmer tone
was Imparted to the market nt the start.
December , which left off lust night at 01 ic
bid , started at from U2c bid to Ctf62 1-Sc and
there were buyers of October at Uc over
December , New York began even stronger
than Chicago and Duluth showed consider
able bullishness In the cash wheat trading ,
an advance of Ic u bushel being noted teen
after the opening , The superior strength ut
these points excited a little emulation hern
and during Its display December advanced
to G2i/4li 23-Sc.
Chicago received 29G cars , against " 13 a
year ago , and Mlnntapolls and Duluth re
ported 1,018 cars , compared with 1W3 the
corresponding day last year. The aggre
gate at the chief western primary makrcts
was 1,917,000 bushel * , compared with 1.I93.UOO
bushels u year ago , Exports from the At
lantic and Gulf seaports were liberal , but
not largo enough to bo of much help to
longs , the sum total being 4I8.00U bushels.
Shippers reported some Inquiry from the
east for wheat , but generally at unwork
able prices. Ono lot of No. 2 red was re
ported disposed of early In the day , but at
a price not made public. December kept
within tliu range of fi2o and GUMo the greater
part of the day , but became stronger near
the end and closed at 62V4c , at which figure
quite a good business was done.
Corn ruled higher. Reports from the
country , especially Nebraska and Kansas ,
were almost unanimous as to poor results
of husklngs. Leading commission houses
nnd prominent sculpern bought with u good
deal of freedom nnd as offerings were
small prices were advanced materially. Re
ceipts were 702 cars. December opened 1-8
< < 3ie higher nt 29 5-8c and Improved to
2'J 7-8c , the closing tlgure. A good demand
for the cash article on foreign account , to
gether with an advance In the other grains ,
strengthened oats. Receipts were : I1G cars ,
of which 3.1 graded No. 2 May began 1-Sc up
ut 224C , Fold up to 23c and closed at 22 7-Sii
23c.
Heavy selling liy commission houses in
addition to a largo run of hogs nnd lower
prices at the yards caused a heavy feeling
in provisions the greater part of the day.
Near the end of the session , however , the
market appeared to take heart from the
firmness of wheat nnd corn , and prices re
covered frY > m the early depression. January
pork started 2V4o down nt $8.85 , advanced to
$8.00. then reacted to $8.8714 seller ? , the clos
ing figure. The range in lard and ribs was
narrow.
Kstimatcd receipts for tomorrow are :
Wheat , 290 curs ; corn , CC3 cars ; oats , 400
cars ; hogs , 32,000 head.

were quiet today but of good tone , notably
Americana. For the reasons stated In
these dispatches yesterday , profcsplonnl In
terest In Americans Is again Indicated here ,
but the closing wns distinctly under the
best prices In New York , under foreign
selling and realizations here. Northern
Pacific wan lowor. There was a sharp rlst !
In Grand Trunk by clique buying and the
market was caught short of stock. Span
ish 4s and Portuguese securities were linn ,
tha latter on the renewal of the Delagoa
bay cession reported. The latter probauly
affcctfi Katllrs. The reputed consolidation
of Anaconda with another mine la denied
In good quarters. New York Is buying
gold ut 77s ly.d , which keeps the discount
rate lirm at 23-S per cent. Call money
was easier on release of government divl-
.dcnds.

CATTLE-Tho yards wore full of cuttiu
again today , but as was HIP case yesterday
the most of them were feeders , while fat
cattle were far from plentiful. The early
arrivals were largo and the later trains
came In heavily loaded nnd faster than the
cnttlo could be yarded. It would appear
that a good many people had arranged to
visit the exposition during the week of the
parade and brought In cattle with them ,
which would account for a port of the re
ceipts. At the same tlmo the parades in
Omaha brought In a good many people who
took advantage of the occasion to look for
feeders so that It worked both ways.
The market today did not show such
marked changes nn were noted yesterday.
Owing to the .small number of desirable fat
cattle on snlo and the good demand the
market on that kind was Just about steady.
Of course common cattle us Is always the
t-aKe when there is a large run , were some
what neglected. The most of the steers
that would do for the killers ? oltl In reason
ably good season.
The market on cows and heifers was not
so favorable for the sellers. The receipts
were large again today and buyers started
out with a firm determination to buy their
supplies a llttlo lower. The chief bear
argument wns that that kind of cattle has
been yelling too high here In comparison to
other markets and that with the large run
there was no excuse for this market not
being In line with other markets. As the
run was large nnd the demand no larger
than usual , buyers were able to have their
own way to some extent nnd the medium
and common cows nnd heifers sold a little
lotver.
Yesterday over 140 cars of feeding cattle
\vero shipped out Into the country , but
there were a good many still left In the
hands of speculators. In addition to which
there was a large run again today. It
f'eemcd as If there was no end to the num
ber of stackers and feeders on sale , nnd
Hlill there was a good country demand.
The break In prices has attracted some ,
buyers ns there srcms to be a feeling that
cattle art * now about as low as thev can
be expected to go , and that the big run
cannot last very long. The good country
demand helped to sustain the market ami
the movament was a little mors active than
yesterday. Good cattle especially were In
active demand and values on the
best , especially , choice yearling stuff
are not so very much lower. Medium kinds
of feeders and stockers are all of 25c lower
for the week , and common stuff might sell
worse than that. Representative sales :

HOGS-It was another day of large re
ceipts of lioRK , not only nt this point , but
at all other markets as well. The general
situation ns wns noted yestrday Is very
much iigalnst the selling Interests. In the
llrst place , It Is beginning of the packing
season when packers generally feel llko
Kettinir ths prlco of hogs down. Then , too.
It Is claimed , that the price of hogs Is too
high , as compared with the prlco of the
product , the very excellent demand for
fresh meat trade having kept up the price
of hogs , on top of these bear Influences
has come n lufBO run of hogs , which has
given packers tn all sections of the coun
try nu opportunity to depress prlcrs , and
thty are not nt all slow In taking advantage
of the situation.
Today's market opened with n few loatH
of the best light hogs spiling at $3.GOfi3. < B.
or 5o lower than yesterday. Packing hogs
were all of lOc lower , packers bidding $3.60
for good hogs. Sellers w.ro slow about
niaklng the cnncesilsou and everyone was
inclined to hold on with the hope of squeezIng -
Ing out a llttlo mote , so that the enrlv
market was slow. Later advices from
Chicago , however , were no better , If any
thing worse , so that It was Impossible to
hold up values hero. In the end , the most
of the hogs sold , but at a decline gener
ally of 10c- , and In some cases even more.
Representative sales :

cclptr. of sheep were larg ? , as will bo noted
from the tnblo of receipt1 ! at thn head of
the column. At the same time quite a good

buyers did not have any very great lati
tude In the matter of making selections.

prices , and the demand was active for any

CHICAGO , Oct. 5. In cattle today , whiln

a basis of $4.0001.75 for common to fair

$ I.Cj5il.S5 , exporters taking a good number
of choice steers. There was a good stacker
and feeder trade , a few Inferior lots selling
down to $3.00 3.25 , but good selected steers
weld satisfactorily. Canning cows sold rcl.
ntlvely better than medium grass butcher
cows , while choice cows nnd helfors sold
remarkably well , nulls sold at $2.5W3.23
for bolognas and at $3.75R4.25 for exporters.

prices paid for corn-fed lots. The late hog
market was in extremely bad shape , with
Bulss 15c lower than yesterday.
