A nlatlnctty strone; tone to the opening of
the Chlcnen market wna noted tills morn
ing, especially in I)TembT wheat, which
held (Irmly to Friday' closing. The lc
mnnrt for December whent was strong,
everybody In the pit being afraid of getting
short on May nmlon. A allKht decline
shortly after the opening wns checked nt
1.12'i by buyers from the pit. More than
a suspicion exlt that commission houses
with northwestern connections wero nx
Ions to absorb all offerings, particularly of
JecmhfT wheat. It looks very much as If
Cudiihy'a backers are buying wheat. Chi
cngo cmiirnlsMinn houses are generally ad
herlng to the bull wide of the market. One
feature of the market in Puluth Is the
livelv Imnortatlnn of Canadian wheat
Corn Is' f.ilrly strong, holding reasonably
close, to Friday's closing. The ensh mnr-
kets cf the country have a stronger tone
and cash nricea ere universally strong.
Millers are surprised at the way spring
whent Is turning out. and according to one
authority "there will be an awakening
among eastern millers shortly, as they have
not enoiiRh wheat at home to meet their
current trade, to say nothing of the winter
supply."

CHICAOO, Oct. 15. -Confirmation that
Puluth millers are Importing Manitoba
wheat was perhaps the chief factor In a
strong wheat market here today. At the
close December wheat was up c. May
was up c. t orn is off 7,r Oats are down
S.'v. ,'r"vL"ln" show a gain of 7c to 12c.
The wheat market whs strong from the
start. The fact that foreign grain mar
kets followed yesterday's sharp advance
here furnished considerable encouragement
to bull traders. Advice from Argentine
also were bullish, the weather there being
reported as extremelv unfa vnrshle. The
element of perhaps the greatest Importance,
nowever, wus me continued active aemana
for cash wheat and apparent scarcity of
that article. Phorts and commission
houses were urgent bidders for the pecem
ber option when trading began, but offer
ings wero extremely light. After opening
unchanged to v higher, st I1.12M$1.13.
the price of leccmher rose rauullv to
11.11. May was helped by the strength
of pecember nml after opening c lr.wer
to 'qc higher at 11.12 1 li. sold up to
$1.13. On the advunce numerous realising
snles were made, resulting In a temporary
setback. Pecember declined to $1.13 while
May sold off to $1.11'n 1.12. The bulls
soon regained control of the situation and
during the remainder of the session the
market held remarkably firm. Final quo
tations on May were at $1.12f71.12. Clear
ances of wheat and Hour were equal to
4.V6K) bushels. Primary receipts were 1,-
24.1,600 bushels, against l.iss.sio bushels a
year ago. Minneapolis, Puluth and Chi
cago reported receipts at 9itf cars, against
t:i-' last week and Wi a year ago.
In spite of the strength in wheat the
corn market was quite weak. Heavy sell
ing by a number of large comm's-iun houses
was responsible for tho decline that oc
curred miring the day. Favorable crop
prospects and excellent weather conditions
were lurgely Instrumental in creating bear
ish sentiment. The market closed at the
lowest point. Pecember opened 'e to 'it
c lower, at 4fifj4",c. sold between, 49Vi
4i50c and closed at 494c. Local receipts
were 112 cars with seven of contract grade.
Moderate liquidation caused a weakness
In the oats market. Trading was light
snd mostly of a local character. Pecem
ber opened unchanged at 29c, sold up to
29c und then reacted to 2Mc. The close
was at the low point. Local receipts were
1W cars.
Provisions were firm on fair buying by
pit traders and as a result of support by
packers. At the close January pork was
up Uc, at $12. 4o. lard was up 7c at $7.2o.
Kibs were 7'"110c higher at $i.60tf6.62.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
135 cars; corn, lol cars; outs, 194 cars, and
hnga, 2S.C0O head.

CATTLE About 100 head of cattle were
reported this morning, but no quotable
change In the market took place. For the
week receipts have been quite liberal, as
there Is an Increase over last week amount
ing to about 3,000 and over the same week
of last year the gain Is about 1,000 head.
In view of the liberal receipts, packers
have made a desperate effort to pound
values, but succeeded, In most cases, only
on the commoner kinds.
Cornfed steers of good quality arrived In
very limited numbers, and with a good de
mand from all sources the market ruled
active and strong and It Is safe to quote
prices on that class lOCiflSc higher for the
week. The common class ana warmed up
cattle, however, have been selling at very
uneven prices and are certainly no higher
for the week. Good to choice grades may
be quoted from 35.75 to $6, and a prime
bunch would bring more than that. Fair
to good cattle sell from 35.25 to to.G6 and
ths shorter fed and warmed up cattle
went from to down.
There has been a big supply of western
rangers on the market all the week, and
with the exception of the class of cattle
that sell from 14 to 14.50. which are about
steady, the general market Is 16&25c lower
and In some cases the decline Is even
greater than that. The big run of the
common to fair cattle gave packers a good
oportunlty to take off what they put on
last week. Fair to good cattle may be
quoted from 83.15 to 13.75, and the com
moner grades sell from t3 down.
The cow market also suffered to some ex
tent, but on some days prices were a little
stronger, so that at the close of the week
the market was not much over a dime, or
lo'lCo lower at the most, than It was at
the close of last week. . All kinds suffered,
the good as well as the common. Prac
tically all of the offerings are coming from
the western ranges, not enough native
stuff being offered to test the market.
Strictly choice grass cows may be quoted
from 12.75 to $.1. and something very prime
would sell a little above that. Fair to
good grades go from 12.25 to $2.76, and can
ners and cutters from 11.60 to 12.25.
Bulls, veal calves and stags have changed
but little during the week. Best grades
of veals sell ud to 36.50.
The market for stockers and feeders
closed very alow and weak, and, In fact, It
was very hard to sell anything but the
best grades at any price. The demand
from the country all the week was hardly
up to expectations, and as a result prices
kept weakening. Strictly choice yearlings
or prime heavy cattle did nol show a
great deal of change, but the genoral run
of cattle are 15'u2&c lower than a week
ago. Good to choice grades may be quoted
from t3.60 to t3.85, fair to good 33.00 to 13.40
and the commoner grades from 13 down.

HOGS There was a very light run of
hogs here this morning and besides that
several cars were consigned direct, which
still further reduced the number on sals.
All the buyers seemed to be quite anxious
for supplies and as a result the downward
course of the market was at least tem
porarily checked, and In fact the market
was a little stronger than yesterday's closa.
The bulk of the sales went at $5.10 and
I5.12H, with only scattering loads of com
mon stuff below 15 10. The chiles hogs
went largely at 15.15. with a load of 217-
fiound hogs at 35.20. Trading was not aot
ve at any time, but still a good clearance
was made by the middle of the forenoon
owing to the light offerings.
The market has been In bad shape at all
points this week and In fact the most dis
astrous slump In values has taken place
that has been experienced In a long time.
As compared with a week ago the market
la now fully 40c lower. This decline his
carried prices to the lowest point reached
since August 24. The receipts at this point
have been liberal for the time if year,
as there Is an Increase over the same week
of last year, amounting to about 13,000
head, but as compared with last week
there Is a slight decrease. Representative

BHEE1 There were about ten rars of
sheep and lambs on sale this morning, but
the demand was fully equal to the occa
sion, even though it was Saturday. ,nd an
active and steady market was experienced.
wetners sold up to ta.75, ewes W.46 and
Ismbs 15.00.
For the week recelnts of sheen have been
very light for ihe time of year, which has
been a surprise to the trade in generxl. It
U thought by many that a nhortage of cars
has contributed to the light uipllea. As
compared with laat week receipts show a
decrease of about W.OuO head and as eom-
wn 'he same we-k of last year
there Is a falling off of shout It flort head.
