THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS ‘Wheat Rules Dull But Very Steady Taken as a Whole.

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cnicaco, Ocs. 14.-~[Special Telegram to Tne Bee.]—The wheat market was dull and vory steady to-day, viewed as a ‘Wwhole. December wheat ranged at S214@s2%{c, opening at §2)¢c and closing at 823%c, May was the weaker of the two dfllv\vrl 8, Open- ing at %54, ranging from $5%c down to 851¢c. veacting and closing at S5 @SHlge. Nowt*was of an unusually conflicting char- ncter, and operators failed to detect a sottled drift in any direction. For jnstance, the receipts at Duluth and Minneapolis for tha day footed up to 1,455 of which 652 cars were at the former and $33 at tho latter. At the same time it was unnounced on the au- thority of the Minneapolis market record that farmers’ deliveries in southern Minne- sota and South Dakota had fallen off heavily, and that country ele- vators, in spite of tho hugencss of the movement, held only 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 bughels against the usual averago of 20,000,000 bushels at this time last year. Again the visiblo supply showed an increase of 1,200,000 bushels cxclusive of a large amount of wheat known to have gone into private warchouses, yet the quantity going into private and public warchouses does not begin to account for all the wheat that has disappeared from public view after having left first hands. Arrivals at primary mar- kets since July are about up to the average of recent years, but arrivals at eastern points are many millions of bushels below the aver- age, and the visible 18 only 20,000~ 000 bushels, @ against 82,000,000 bush- ols last year, last year's total 4n turn being below the two or three years last proceeding. ‘‘Where has tho wheat gone tof” is the absorbing question that puzzles bulls ana_bears alike, though the trade 18 settling down to the conclusion that wheat has gone into consumption. A lead- ing commission merchant figures that the exceptional barrenness of graneries of the curreat year was equivalent to a shortage of 80,000,000 bushels: in other words, that the cnuntry must absorb 50,000,000 bushels be- fore supplics can get to the starting point of ordinary year It has becomo a recognized fact that the country was extraordinarily hare of wheat July 1 of this year, barer than it has been in years, or than it is likely to bo in many years to come. Theorizing from that basis, it is not so dificult to account for the failure of wheat receipts to show up in the visible at this stage. It is this condition of things that makes the friends of wheat so full of confidence in the face of the bearish situation and on a questionably bearish eral speculative sentiment. To-day the for eign markets were steady, but exporters re- ported no buying orders, yet 1t 1s noted thav the export clearances of wheat alone amounted to 190,000 bushels—another con- tradiction, After the visiblo supply came in to-aay the market ruled firm throughout, with increased i mboe ad- vanced to ¢ 8 aliz- ing by scalpe caused some reaction toward the close, however, and, as before mentioned, December left off at 82icc and May ab Shi @s: A dispute between New York und o ns to the visible footings gave the scalpers headway for the movement. Hoth boards maintain the cor- rectness of their figures, New York being 300,000 bushels under Chicago. As compured with Saturday, prices show & fractional im- provement. ‘The corn market was firm, said to be on reports of unsettled weather in the west, but the minds of speculators were probably in- fluenced more by comparatively moderate re- pts uud the heavy shipments. The visiblo supply statenient showed stocks here to have decreased 511,657 bushels since the last report, and the quantity in store here now s 07, bushels, There was an in in the total stocks in sight of 045,000 busheis, The foreign market was strong and exports from the Atlantic seaboard were heavier than the recent averuge.

The tecline was chec the end of the hour, when the market be- came very quiet. The decline which rail- road stocks suffered before noon was but temporary. Trusts continued to dectine, but there was a good up-turn in railroad shares under the lead ot Atchison. Atchisan was the consplouous stock of the list, moving up on Boston buying to 317, or nearly 3 per cent over the close on Saturday.
