CHICAGO, Oct. 81.—There was a better | trade in wheat than for some time past and |after an easier opening the market turned strong and prices weré well maintained | throughout. the day. The opening was a trifle wer on cables, favorable weather and larger ceipts in the Northwest. December opened A@3ic Tower at 80%c to 80%e. Soon after the opening commission houses became active buy- | ers of December and with traders showing a | disposition to hold on to that month the mar- | became quickly strong and the price ad- | vanced to 8lc within the first hour. May was | influenced by the. strength in the fmmediate | near-by delivery and showed a faif dvance. | Just before the close some of the advance was |lost on realizing. but the close was strong, with December 13c higher at 80%c." Early selling of corn,~due to the weakness of cables, caused an eagler feeling “at the start, but offerings were light and when wheat began to show signs of strength the corn-mar- ket also became firmer. December closed a | shade higher at #4c. There was & little selling pressure in oats at the start, along with the weakness in other grains, but the strength in ‘Wwheat soon checked this selling desire, prices remaining stationary December closed & shade higher at 85%c. Provisions were firm, the bulk of trade being covering by local packers of January ribs and lard. Prices advanced easily,. help to~ some extent by the strength of the hog market, and | | the gain was well maintained. January pork closed 10c higher, lard was up 10c and- ribs 12lac higher.

WHEAT—The forelan 'markets were not materially changed. Cables from the Argen- tine predict an export surplus in that coun- try this crop year of 2,500,000 tons, which is very heavy. Chicago wires to Bolton, De Ruyter & Co. !say: “It was again extremely dull, with very little metivity reported in the cash trade and { peculative operations ‘mainly of a scalping na- ture. As we'see it the situation in wheat has, two distinct]y opposite features, the do- | mestic ‘and the foreign.. The domestic situa- tion is_uridoubtedly m:ons Primary receipts last week are 3,000,000 bushels less than the same week a year. The visible supply s increasing, but slowly. Spot Wheat | in all markets is still at & premium. The ex- | port demand shows on the whole & little Im- \ piovement. Stocks are emall on the other | ! hand, the price Is on about an 80c basis, which | is not low. Russla, the Danublan-and India o seliing Wheat to Burope at a rate never $etore Wmown. We think crop prospects in Australia and Argentina at the momen( |ndl- | thes, ntries | have ever had. It is therefore a Tittle ditficult | sree to see how the strength of our domestic situa- | tion will be able to bring about the necessary | improvement in foreign markets on an advance | to keep us on export basis, There is an in- | {and if we go off of an export basis we will | | accumulate stocks rapidly. The movement of our crop, particularly in the Northwest, has been long delayed and there are a good many | holes to fill up, though these are probably rap- ] idly belng filled, There is a lot of buliish | sentiment and talk and it has all merit In it, | but we are ourselves inclined to think that it is a little too much.

The market was overstocked with most kinds of vegetables and although trade was active there was a heayy surplus unsold at the close, In fact, the receipts during the past week have been more than sufficlent for the average dally requirements and large lines were carried over from day to day.

Iris, the theatrical agent, rélates this Instance of juvenile precocity. “A proud father of a young hopeful of 5 was In the habit of going out every evening after a glass of beer. The young- ster soon grew Inquisitive about these nightly outings and his father used to tell him in baby talk: * ‘Papa doin” out for his walkie-walkie." “The kid had a habit of looking out of the window to follow his father with his eyes as far as he could see. He didn't have far to look, for the man always made a bee line for the corner saloon. “Now, this young hopeful kmew more about the saloon than would naturally he expected, and one evening when company ‘was present one of the visitors asked him where his father was.. To the great amusement of -all he replied: Papa’s gone out for his Milwaukee.” "™ —New York Times.
