Chicago, Oct. 4.—Wheat—A little selling appeared early, due to Increased spring wheat receipts, and disappoint ing Liverpool cables, but there commission house buying of December that started the crowd to cover while the appearance of strength In North western and Patten buying in Minne apolis Induced same results here. Ad vantage was taken of the upturns, however, to dispose of long wheat, and It was not very well taken, although on the breaks and around 75 cents De cember shorts were disposed to cover. The market was very dull, with senti ment somewhat mixed over the export situation at the seaboard, as well as the spring wheat movement, not enough Interest being manifested by out-of-town operators to take a hand In the operations, hence not much more than a scalping market can be expect ed, and should prices weaken material ly, will allow of purchases being made. C’orn—Trade was very light, and with receipts light cash houses sold moderately, while Kansas 1’lty advices were bearish over an Increasing move ment In the Southwest. Oats—The market was firm, with good buying of the December kind, which started shorts to covering. The Ohio crop report of 46,000,000 bushels, against 48.000.ooo last year, attracted but little attention and there was good commission house buying. Provisions—Pit traders covered shorts In October lard, but sold Jan uary lard and ribs that were bought by Investors. Trade was rather light. LIVE 8TOCK MARKET.

Despite the unexpected strength de veloped abroad opening prices In the local market were In no wise affected, and under the Influence of a favorable weather map a fair decline occurred. However, the severe punishment meted out to shorts of late has caused thorn to be extremely cautious and even nervous.

New York, Oct. 4.—To properly un derstand the present market It is nec essary to state that when the option list passed 10 cents early In the week, a number of operators sold abort on the theory that a reaction could be expected at any moment. When the covering continued and whirled th market to 10 1-2 these operators unit ed In bringing about a dec line In order to enable them to get In their cotton. As the market hud advanced a cent and a half very fast und the short interest had been greatly reduced. It wus not difficult to bring about such a decline, A bear raid at the close last night and another this morning carried Decem ber 55 points from the high level und In jibout two hours this morning a recov ery of over a quarter of a cent took place. When the shorts found the tr ket could be driven no further, they began to buy and prices ran up very sharply above 10.30 for both Decern- her and January'. A feuture of the day was the advance In October of some 8 or 10 points over December and an ad vance In December to within 2 or J points of January. As long as this situation continues efforts to depress the future market are likely to prove unavailable. The market has all the earmarks of a bull market and should be treated ns such. Some very good people talk much Jilgher prices event ually. THE PRIMARY MOVEMENT.

Such operations as those were originated with the profes sional traders, and among this class there appeared tea be a pronounced di vision of oplnlonfas to the Immediate drift of prices. At some moments the rnurket presented an appearance of heaviness, and at other moments an appearance of strength, but the fore noon In reality was occupied with a series of fitful fluctuations within an extremely narrow range. Neither factlop of professional deal ers, one working for a rise and the other for a decline, seemed strong enough to make any headway, and by midday prices were within small frac tions of where they left off last night. The failure of the Bank of England directors to advance the discount rate helped the foreign marketn, but had little influence here. With the set tling down of call money to a 6 per cent basis and with the almost entire disappearance of the premiums on time loans, the money question no longer played a part in speculative calcula tions. New York, Oct. 4.—Stocks Irregular all through the first hour, and strength display ed In various group*. While a number of *l>eclnltlc* were decidedly weak.
