CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—Trading in wheat com- menced at a slight decline and there was so little energy In the business that the market sagged steadily throughout the session. The news was generally of a bearish cast, but sell- ing on any extensive scale was held in check, owing to the bellef tnat prices were apt to be glven a sudden impetus on the outcome of the situation abroad. December opened Y@y4c lower, sold sparingly and declined to 9% @69%e, closed at Toc. Corn was easy early In sympathy with wheht, but later railied under generous country buy- ing induced by wet weather and moderate re- cefpts. Thdleations of a large decrease in the world's visible supply, together with an improved cash demand, helped to ustain the advance. Eleva- tor interests during the latter part of the ses- slon bought freely. December closed at 31%c. Oats ruled strong, within narrow limits for cats, on moderate recelpts and a good shipping demand.
