THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. There Was a Good General Trade in Whoat. CORN OPENED QUIET AND TAME, Cogs Active With Little or No Varia tion—Provisions Somewhat Unsets tled—Cattle Rather Slow With Higher. od Natives CHICAGO PRODUC MARKET, Special Telogram to apeculative Nov. 2 There was liberal Cricao, Tur Ber.) trading in wheat to-day and a broad market was the result, e, The public, as well as pro als, participated on a generous scale averaged considerably higher than lay, and closed with the improvement fully sustained. The opening was rather wild, with sales at $1.10%@1.11}%. This was about 'y above yesterday's close. The trad ing crowa concluded that the w arket had been opened high to enable somo of the leaders to sell to advanta and the vrevail ing disposition was to sell. Nevertheless the market advanced to #1.111, cased off slightly and then went to $1.11%. Heavy selling by the gene crowd and by houses that were conspicuous on the buying side Tuesday and Wednesday, broke values sharply. May ¢ clined first to $1.107{ and later to §1 1014, December sold down the scale from 1,053 0 $1.07 1, undJanuary from $1.071) to$1.0835 The market rallied about lc from these prices on renewed buying by Kennett, and persisted purchases by Lyon. The latter house bought steadily in an unobtrusive way, throughout the session, on soft spots. The crowd is just now very badly mixed on the question of speculative probabilities. An old and very careful observer, who rar allows his prejudice or sentiment to cloud his Judg. ment, unburdened himself in this wise: “The syndicate or combination that smashed the market down with a great mass of speculative offerings the other day covered its wheat, [ should say, and possibly made a turn on the other side. Th *n- k brought out a big lot of wheat on D or- ders. The market is now about even, I should juage, und ripe for anothel raid. It ‘will continue w0 sent temptations so long as our prices are out of line. I want to state, however, that we are rapidly approaching a Jegitimate basis, and [ cannot see why oper ators snould engage in short selling as cour- ageously or as heavily as when vrices were 10@12¢ higher. 1 hear of some flour being worked for export, and foreigners are not so indifferent as our castern and foreign advices indicat As before stated, there was a good general trade in wheat. Commission houses report active business, and that is fuctory proof of the revival of public inte wheat speculation. The break has induced a healthy inve ent inquiry, and new buying seems to b v by good people. “'Shoe Stringers,’’ as narrow margin operators are termed, have fared ill of late. The closing range was 3cr1c higher than yesterd viz De !m\mri 08 January £1.074%, and May S @111, he near futures made the greatest proportionate gain. Prices are now de above bottom touched for May, and 4¢ above bottomn for D ber. The corn market opened auiet und about closing prices of the previo “There was nothing, apparently, to cause any strength in the wheat pit, and’ that was the cause assigned later for the firmer tone which the corn deal assumed. Receipts w e heav, and those estimated for Lo-morrow, & ‘were ¢ uly not small enough to make AA bull feature of. Liverpool was quoted firm, but Atlautic seaboard shipments were lij and the outward inspection from here was under Tecent averages. There was a good demand from shorts, however, und they were en- couraged in ‘their desire to buy, by purchases made by leading operators and by the sharp dewmand of cash corn. The amount of busi- ness done was light, and principally of a local scalping _characte) but the offerings were light, and the feeling averaged firmer than yesterday. 'The market closed at 405{c bid Tor November, an advance of Jc on Wednes- duy’s price; December at 381¢, is lc higher, and May m 833¢e bid, is virtually unchanged. “The provision trade was somewhatun- settled. The continued large receipts of nogs encouraged free selling at the opening, and under the excessive offerings some- thing of a break occurred in prices eurly in the day. Later, however, the market gained in strength. Morning sell- ers showed a disposition to cover some of their short sules, and_the ground lost was in a great measure recovered. Hutchinson was ulso a good buyer during the last hour, and the closing all around was comparatively strong. The day’s actual decline in pork was only 5@itge, while lard was unchanged to 21g¢ higher, and ribs unchanged to 2lge 1o Grain men and the old bear contin- gent in the product were the principal sellers on the depression. Speculative trading was quite active, though for cash property orders showed a falling off.
