Chicago, Oct 19.—Reports from Now York of heavy export sale* at r.li the seaboard markats mved prlcea of wheat In this market from an Inglorious decline today. All day. until the las: hour, thoie was a heavy feeling hanging over prlcts, fears that some of the big lines bought yesterday and at tho Immediate opening today would'go overboard from lack of outsie news frightening tho crowd and Inducing thorn to. back down when offer ings were made; Partridge aud his fol lowing were pressing their udvantago and selling quite freely. First advices gave the export sales At flCty-slx lof.ds, but before the close they had been worked up to 116, and a decidedly oulli&h senti ment then pervaed the pit. December wheat opened ;’roin 32>i to 3T-4, soid be tween 52% and 52>ia%, clo»»ng at. 52%. Cash wheat was *n good demand; red winter for spot offerings bringing % to-% of a cent over December. Otherwise prices were steady. Corn.—While corn displayed a w'l. r.g- nesa to advance with write*t, prices were not in touch with tno weakness of that grain. The weather bureau predictions • «- *.et weather Induced marked ftfvi.gth In the December future during the first hour, but May was well up with tho close. Business was not active, but the oem&nd was of a better character than the-offerings. May opened from *9*4 to 43%, sold from 49%to 49V4a%, closing at the outside, % of a cent over yesterday. Cash corn was steady, the nominal close being strong. Elevutor owners were taking moat of the offerings of oats today, th* tendecy of prices being to sympathise with corn. No news of importance was received and us a whole tho trade was of the usual unin teresting nature. The close was strong Ith May % to % a cent higher than C 15-16; stock, 4,134. Wilmington.

Special wire to Lyons & James. |Li.v York, Oct. 19.—There Is a mono to- | Bous Mimencss In the daily feat nr?* of the cotton market. They can • all be 1 summed up In the statement too much cotton and too much anxiety on *he part ; of the South to sell. Moreover, Liv*r- ‘ pool continues to decline, '''he opening * beri* was lower and prices scon fell 4 points. Then this was recovered, owing partly to a fire In New Orleans whi. h | was reported at first to have destroyed , from 5.“X) to 7,000 bales end canted rome , covering here, while at the same time J some buying orders were received from OrleMii*. but later on It transpixel I At**!* ithout influencing prices In a percepti ble manner. The receipts of tho animal at tire yards today tvere large, the esti mate for tomorrow heavy and prices were lower. The cash situation was an other stumbling block to an advance, the demand In that quartr being of the most indifferent kind. The close was 17% cents lower than yesteray for January pork, 7% to 10 cents lower for January lard and 7% cents lower for January ribs. LAMSON BROS.' GRAIN LETTER. Bpectxl wire to Lyons & James.
