Chicago, Oct. 26.—Wheat had plenty of hull news to work on today, but the ulti mate outcome of trading was a loss, though not a serious one, to prices. There was an all-round complaint or the dullness of trade, and longs, finding but an indifferent local demand and absolutely none from the out filde* were constrained to sell out, not wish ing to carry their load over Sundav. Much attention was accorded the New York mar ket, as tho understanding was that the Sea hoard contingent was bullislily inclined. Slightly higher prices ruled at the opening and for quite a while afterwards, advances at Liverpool and dry weather and the fact that tho exports for the week more than exceeded 2.658,000 bushels affording a mod erate amount of encouragement. The Kusso Chlna treaty, with its probable effect on England, and whether war would result, was also used as on encouraging strength. The estimate of Monday's receipts, 807 care, changed the tone from steady to weak, and a raid being made on tho noar future in corn about the same time added to the de pression. The St. Louis Modern Miller em phasized its reference to the drought condi tions. It is that the visible supply will show an increase for the week of about 2,000,000 bushels. December wheat opened at 61Uft6H«c, doc lined to GO*@GO%c, where It closed, being Me under yesterday. Cash wheat was steady, closing easy. Corn—Under determined pounding by two commission houses the near future in corn was forced a full cent lower, the May sym pathizing with them, but not declining as much. The estimate® for Monday’s receipts —470 cars—was the basis for the raid, shorts also evolving some encouragement from them. Previous to tho activity uccompuny lng tho break referred to there was but a dull market, with no interesting features to record. May corn opened at 29*>ic, de clined to 293/sc, closing at 293stP20l2C. M to %c under yesterday. Cash corn docllned %c per bushel. Oats—The trade in oats presented no In terest at all. The early trading was fair, and so was that around the time wheat and corn were breaking, but on an average the dav was a very duD one. Prices moved up and down correspondingly to the action of wheat. May oats closed 14c lower. Cash oaLs were *c lower. Provisions—No class of trade In provisions appeared to be interested in that market. The feeling was steady, but it was con ceded that any extra demand or preemir© to sell would l>e felt in prices. The hog market was weaker, but exerted no influ ence on the product. The close was 2*c higher than yesterday. January pork is a shade higher; January lard a shade higher and a shade lawer for January ribs. Do mestic markets were quiet and easy. Lead ing futures ranged as follows: The loading lutures ranged as follows: Closing. • 59* 6 tilth 30* 297* 28 2 b Vi 1814 18* 20* 8 05 9 12 Vi 9 42V4 5 55 5 67V* 5 b5 4 5 2 Vi 4 60 4 8Q Cash quotations: Flour was quiet, but steady.

The South western and International shares also moved up fractionally. The strength or the market was short-lived, however, and In the last hour of trading speculation was positively weak. There were liquidating sales In the Industrials, and the bears re sumed aggressive tactics. Leather was the special feature, and dropped from 12Vi to 11%<211%, and preferred from 74Vi to 70%fy 71%, considerable long stock coming out on the way down. Sugar was also heavy in the closing dealings, and fell from 105% to 10.1% <Q108%. Lead sold down 1 to 32%, General Electric % to 35% and Tennessee Coal and Iron 1 to 38%. Western Union Beef rose % to 13 on the declaration of a dividend of 1% per cent, and later declined to 12. After tho payment of the dividend the company will have a balance of $68,000. Chicago Gas declined 1% to GS. The deposits of 1« idellty receipts for Central Trust receipts now ag gregate $16,533,200. The slump In Lead and Sugar led t.o realizations in the railway list, and a decline of % to 1% per cent took place. The market closed heavy. Net changes show losses of >4 to 1% per cent outside of Leother preferred, which declined 3% per cent on the day. Pacific Mail was easier, and declined 30(^30%, the reports current yesterday about a settlement with the Pan ama no.t having been confirmed. Bonds were firmer. Sales footed up 527,000.

Newr York, Oct. 26.—The Sun’s cotton re view- says: Cotton fell from 10 to II points and then recovered part of tho loss, closing barely steady, with sales of 1*11,300 bales. Liverpool advanced 4 points, and. then, lout half of this, closing quiot with hjkH. sales of 8000 bales at unaltered quotations. New Orleans Is easier. The New' Orleans receipts on Mon day are estimated at 14,000 to 15,000 bales, against 21.113 bales test Monday, 32,123 bales last year and 15,105 bales'in 1893. Spot cot ton here was quiet at 1-Hk* advance, wdth sales of 336 bales for' spinning. Middling uplands, 8%c. Memphis received 5810 bales, against 6390 bales tnle day lost week and 5355 bales the same day lqM year; Houston, 6797 hales, against 9000 bales last week and 13,370 Imles tho same week last year; Au gusta, 1286 bales, against 2170 bales last week and 1999 bales the same week last year. The exports from the ports were 33,957 bales, 10,164 bales to Great Britain, 9748 bales to Franco and 14,045 bales to the continent. The ports received 47.327 bait*, against 44,111 bales last Saturday and '13,899 bales last year. The s<>tftlicrn ei>ot markets were generally unchanged.

The Chronicle states that northern spinners have taken thus for this season 297,397 bales, a gut ns t 397,691 bales last season.

The exports frbm the ports thus far this season aggregate 580,878 bales, against 972,0S8 bales at this time la*H season. Today's features: The Liverpool news was disappointing,, and it w'as decided that Neill Brothers were to issue a crop estimate of 0,250,006 to G.uOOtOOO bales. Consequently prices declined, not only American, but on European selling orders. Later on, how ever, there were signs of a rally, duo to a report that after all Neill Brothers will is sue a bullish circular. Furthermore, quite prominent Interests In Wall street nave taken the bull side, and strong people in the cottpn trade itself are very friendly to the staple, while the bears, on the other hand, are disposed to be quite cautious.
