CHICAGO, Oct. wheat prices started In a downward direction and the decline continued throughout the en- tire session. The opening was barely steady on rather Indifferent cables, December being unchanged to a shade higher at 78%@T78%c. Local houses with St. Louls connections had selling orders from the start, and added to this was the break of mearly 2¢ in the De- cember price in St. Louis. One or two of the big houses here were on_ the seiling side early and this started a general liquidation and values declined rapidly. Onme of the chief factors In creating the bearish sentiment was the large primary receipts, those at St. Louis showing the greatest gain. There was little demand at any time in the session and the volume of trading was small. Closing prices were at about the bottom figures, final figures on_December being 1@1%c lower at 77 4 @7T3e. Extremely favorable weather throughout the corn belt, together with the weakness in wheat, were responsible for lower prices in corn. December closed 1c lower at 443%c. Local re- ceipts were 300 cars, With forty-six of contract grade. Jan.-Apl. 21 35 28 60 28 60 The weskness in wheat and corn was the principal factor in bringing out free selling of ocats by dlnco\ll'lled longs and prices slumped accordingly.

WHBAT—Foreign futures were firmer, but there was no noteworthy news from abroad. In this market, which is quiet and weak, quotations for both cash grain and futures were lower. The Chicago letter of Bolton, de Ruyter & Co. sald: ‘“The market 4s heavy and about 1 cent lower. The strength noticeable the | past few days has spent its effect. It came largely from a frightened short interest. There was nothing, and is nothing so far as we can see, to justify these fears. We are inclined to the view that there are many bullish factors which will some, time manifest their effects. Yet for the next few weeks the load which speculators must carry is certain to increase | rapldly. Every temporary rally puts us out of line with forelgn markets, which do not follow us. There is no reason why they should follow, because other exporting countrles are supplying them freely with wheat: Every dip in this market to a lower point adds our of- ferings of wheat to foreign markets and in- creases the selling pressure. The congested condition for the December delivery in St. Louis has put us about on a shipping basis to that market and has driven whatever mill- ing demand there is for No. 2 red wheat to this market. It Is not very great. We are inclined to the view that St. Louls, as well as this and other markets, must sooner or later come to the question of supply and demand, and that with their prices so tly out of line, they will get ail the No. 2 red wheat they care to buy. We would sell wheat cn the rallies.”” CASH WHEAT.

Country offerings are still small and the shi ping demand fairly good, but the market is evidently adjusting itselt to a new state of conditions.

Out of the large crop of last year the country must still Rave cohsiderable reserve of corn. Owing to the sharp recent decline in the market they are holding it back.

The Fruit market was fairly active, as re- tailers were stocking up for the Sunday trade, but supplies of all descriptions were ample Apples were a leading feature and well packed, highly colored offerings were in brisk demand at full figures, with occasional sales of exceptionally fine stock reported at a premium over the quoted rates. Common Apples were abundant and dull. Bartlett Pears were In limited nl ply and steady. Peaches were in free suppl and weak and It was difficult to obtain more than 40c per box for the general run of offer- ings. A considerable quantity of open boxes came in late in the day from Santa Clara and there was quite a surplus unsold at the close. The other tree fruits stood about as previous- 1y quoted, supplies of all kinds being ample. There was an abundance of all varietles of table Grapes except Seedless, the season for which is about over. Prices of crate stock ranged a little higher under a limited inquiry for shipment north on the sound steamer, but the general run of offerings sold to the local trade at per crate. Wine Grapes were quiet, with prices unsettled. Some sales were reported at $24@25 per ton, but there were about twenty cars on the track and buyers were holding off In expectation of lower prices. Nutmeg Melons and Watermelons were offering freely and were quiet at previous prices. Cantaloupes were in small supply and quoted higher. Citrus and Tropical Fruits had n noteworthy change. Cholce lots of Berries were in fair request, but the market was overloaded with poor stock. A large portion of the receipts of Ma- linda’ Strawberries went to peddlers at the minimum quotation and the canners secured quite a_quantity of Raspberries at the inside rate. Coos Bay Cranberries were offering at lower rates and moved slowly. Cape Cod lots were offering at previous prices and the de- mand was nothing extra.
