Chicago, Oct. 31.—The bears in wheat had a rude awakening during the last hour of today’s session, although previous to that time their path-was hot strewn with roses. Yesterdav's weakness had Imbued t.he shorts with considerable courage, and ow ing to the fact that rain fell In many parts of the winter wheat*belt last nl£ht exhibited an obstinacy that did not agree wtth the programme. Afternoon reports of advices on the .Liverpool curb owing to the-war talk had the effect of agitating the crowd, anil so offerings were evtremely light and a sharp ndVance resulted. December wheat opened from 58% to 57V2C, advanced to 60c and closed at 69%<$60c, l%c higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was irregular^closng ilrm. Corn was steady to firm, as It has been for the past few days, but unfortunately the business was far from being active or in fluential. Prices made moderate gains, for which the upward movement of wheat ob tained the credit. Tho wet weather predict ed in different sections was construed as being a bullish factor, or partly the opposite from what it was. May corn opened at 29Vic, advanced to 29V2C, where it dosed, Vjc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was steady to linn without essential changes In prices. Oats were quiet; but steady. That was about all that could bo said for them, as there was no business large or important enough worthy of mention. May oats closed higher than yesterday. Cash oats were steady. Provisions—1The hog market did not follow up the improvement of yesterday. That was tho reason of the dull opening in prod ucts. Subsequently there wus a steadier feeling, influenced Indirectly by the action of wheat. The range on all articles was narrow. At the close January pork was 5c higher than yesterday, January lard a shade lower and January ribs a shade higher. The loading lutures ranged as follows: Articles Wheat Oct. Dec. May. Corn— Oct.

Liverpool de Olin^d $ ify *laady. Spot *ale4 t unchanged f>rfeee. New Orleans declined 23 to 24 points, but regained 16 points dr the deoline on Jan ary and 13 of the loss on Maroh.

Memphis recived today 3506 'boles, Houston 4477. Financial news from London and Paris was unfavorable. Spot cotton here was quiet and unchanged, with sales of 509 bales for spinlng. Port receipts were 23,045 bales, against 38,650 bales last week, 50,391 bales last year a.nd 34,447 bales in 1893. Today’s features: News of a bearish character depressed the price for a time, and then news of a bullish tenor caused a quick rally. Above and beyond al, how ever, was the smallness of the receipts not only at the ports, but also at the interior towns. The port got today onUt, about half what they received this day last year and 6700 bales leas than on the same day in 1S93, a fact which seems even more significant. Then the Now Orleans estimate for tommor row is only about half the quantity re ceived on the same day last year, while the Houston estimate showed practically the same disparity. The ports thin week are ex pected to receive only, about 280,000 bales, or 11,000 bales less than last week and 150,000 less than in the same week last year. General Oottdn Markets. Cities.
