buying of November contracts here to-day
on the part of what is supposed to be for
eign interests. Ollerings of cotton from
southern ports are freer, but the continued
scarcity of freight greatly impedes the move
ment. Less attention appears to be paid
to reports of crop coaditions than for many
previous seasons.

CHICAGO 'CHANGE.
Dally Review of Speculation In Grain and
Frovlatou .Markets.
Chicago, Oct. 13.—In the wheat market
to-day the general situation coutinues about
the same, though business was much lighter
than for several days past. There is a gen
eral disposition to get out of December and
trading centered principally in May, especi
ally by operators who favored short selling.
A dull feeling prevailed. The tendency,
evidently, was bearish, but operators feared
the selling of December futures. The open
ing did not vary much from the closing ot
yesterday, with prices declining quiet %
o nts for December and % for May, then
rallied 1% cents for December but only %
for May, again eased > 0, deolining IK for
the foimer aud % for the latter, ruled within
a moderate range aud < losed % cent higher
for December and % cent lower for May
than yesterday.
Trading in corn was confined almost en'
tlrely to local operators, very little outside
business being transacted, and the market
ruled quiet most of the session. The feeling
developed early, was varied and closed
shade better than yesterday, after (luctuit.
ing within a % to % range. There were no
new features aud the market waa governed
entirely by local influences.
Trading in oats was rather less than yes
terday, but a steady feeling prevailed, with
changes in values confined to an unimpor
tant range.
Mess pork was very slow and without jm-
portant features. January wai oflered with
a fair degree of freedom and declined
7% cents, rallied 5 cents but closed steady at
about the inside figures. L'ght business was
transacted in lard within a narrow range ol
prices. Short ribs received moderate atteu
tlcc and sold at a lower range of prices.'

Duluth and Oregon Short Line became very
strong on light tradiug. No further feature
marked the dealings and the close was dull,
