THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. A Gen al Air of Listlessness Pervades the Wheat Pit. CORN HOLDS A FIRM SESSION. A Repetition of Monday's Dullness in Oa Provisions Slow—Oattle in Light Supply—General Market Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET., CiicAGo, Oct. 4.—Special Telegram to the Ber.|—It was a day-before-a-holiday market all around at the start, with few features of interest, light trading and that algost entirely local, and a general feeling and air of listlessness, The opening in wheat wa: advance of e for December and May ® T3¢ and T4%e respectively. There appeared to be a toler- able tirm market at the opening, dependent on buying for heavy local operators and of smaller locai traders, who found traw to guide them in their purchases. Then for two hours the market remained almost station- Ary st about the opening price, or }c below. The close was at 71!;@715¢c bid for Novem- t:r. Tl @T3}4c for December and 87 for ay. ‘The corn market was firm throuchout the sesslon, but the amount of business done was small.

The receipts were 572 cars, The receipts for to-morrow are esti- mated at 812 ears. The opening was at 4'.",’c for November, 42!¢c for December and 45% for May, and prices did not fall below llleu figures during the session. ‘T'he closing was strong at the highest-point—4235@42%c for November; 43%c for December and 45ic@ $53¢¢ for May. ‘There was a rapetition of {ontardn)"- dull- ness In the oat market. Not enough specu- Iative interest was shown to hold the crowd together and prices were substantially un- changed.

Nearly all ! stocks closed slightly under the highest figures of the day. The market opened lower on part of the list, while some stocks kept up and a few were slightly higher, Londou cables gave lower prices, with selling orders for foreign account.

Mr. Lee was chosen temporary chairman, in the ab- sence of President Bechol. Messrs, Bed- ford and Ford were also absent. Mr. Hasoall made a motion to refer ail com- munications without reading, but Mr. Alexander urged the reading of the com- munication from the fire and police com- mission. Messrs. Burnham and Kierstead supported Mr. Alexander, Mr. Hascall insisted that it was not necessary to read it then, as there was important business on hand, and this communication aimed at forestalling the action of the meeting to be held between committees from the council and the board of trade on the police muddle, He #aid that there was nothing 1n the com- munication except that the commission wanted the council to take the matter into the courts. The commission itself could tuke the matter into the courts on uny one of several points. Messrs. Lowry, Baily and others supported Has- call, ut the latter finally yielded to Al- exander's demand. However, before the reading of the paper was reached Lowry again objected to having it read. He said there was a lot of dirty, underhanded work going on. ‘This ended the debate and the various motions went by de- fault, but before the communication 1n dispute was reached in the regular order of business the council adjourned. Communications were received as fol- lows: Approving contract with Edward Haney and James G, Carpenter for opening Thirty-first avenue to Daven- port street: approving the change of frmle of Twenty-second street from St. Mary’'s aventie to Leavenworth street; communication from Superintendent Whitlock calling attention to the prox- imity of the projected building of the BEE Publishing company to the new city hall, claiming that part of the trenches wer two feet four inches over their line, and that their excavations were now ten feet below the footiugs of the city hall wall; Judge Berka's report for the past month was referred, A motion was made to amend the a provpriation ordinance by inserting th t‘ time roll of the new policemen. 'This was lost, Boyd, Cheney. Hascall, Lee, Lowry, Mnuvnlla Sny er and \unanp Voting against it. A number of additional judges and clerks of election, to take the place of those previousl: appointed but who failed to r|u|\h{y, were approved, after which the council adjourned to meet next Thursday cvmmg AMUSEMENTS. ATUPEARAN TROUBADOUR'S AT THE A SRA HOUSE, Contrary to expectation there was a good-sized audience at the Grand last night, on the zppearance of Zerega's Troubadours, These play the guitar, the mandolin, the tambourine, the castanets, and one of them, Senorita Dewa Terval, mtroduces what is termed a Spanish wolian, The playing of all these per- formers is remarkable for its precision and expression. There are but five in struments, and yet they are capable of producing the volume and almost all the sounds of a well balanced orchestra. The grandest effect, however, is pro- duu:t{m the pianissimo passages. One of these last evening, that of the mud.mg bird, was extremely beautiful. The tones were extremely delieate, yet dis- tinetly defined, and resembled a quar- tette of rich, round female voices, the mote prominent of whick was _the soprano, the notes of which tloated airily as if from among the try of the wood with which the stage was set. Such an imitation of the human voice alone was an entertainment of an evening.
