GRAIN LETTER.
Chicago, Nov. 3—Steady cables and
small receipts In the northwest had a
btrengthening effect today an the local
iwlieat market but the tone at the close
twas little more than steady because of
teelling by pit traders. Final quotations
Ion the December delivery were unchang-
ed from those of yesterday. Corn was
ia shade higher. Oats were up |@ic. Pro-
Visions were unchanged to five cents low-
,ter.
Wheat
Transactions in the wheat pit were not
Barge and the business was confined
lohlefly to pit traders. Sentiment early
In the day was somewhat, bullish but to-
iward the end of the session the feeling
(became easier. The market was lnflu-
tenced by the continued small movement
•of spring wheat and by a report of an
(English crop statistician who claimed
•that the United States will be able to
tship for export this year about 180,000,000
Ibushels and only a small portion of that
amount as yet has been sent out. The
steady tone of the market at Liverpool
(notwithstanding the weakness of the
•local market yesterday was another en-
couragement to .the bulls. The market
lelosed steady. December opened le high-
er at 74gc, sold between 741@lc and Hl"
land closed at 74Jc. Clearances of wheat
(and flour were equal to 293,000 bushels
(Primary receipts were 921,000 bushels
lagainst 1.106,000 bushels for the corres-
ponding day last year. Minneapolis, Du-
auth and Chicago reported receipts of
B14 cars against 551 cars last week and
1796 cars one year ago.
Corn
Dullness of the most profound type pre-
vailed today In the corn pit. Local re-
ceipts were considerably below the es-
timates and because of this prices held
•steady. December opened unchanged at
M3Jc sold up to 43|c and closed at 431<3fo.
(Local receipts were 216 cars with 95
Cars of contract grade.
Oats.
Oats were In active demand by com-
•mission houses and the volume of trading
•was large. There was an excellent ship-
ping demand. The market closed strong.
(December opened unchanged at 333®?°
Isold between 33§c and 315<®Je and closed
Int 341c. T^ocal receipts were 166 cars.
Provisions.

toff on selling by local holders. At the

New York, Nov. 3.—The cotton mar-
ket has ruled In an extremely depressed
state the past week and has as a result
at persistent bfcar hammering and con-
siderable selling against actual cotton
prices have suffered a further decline
since last Saturday of 36 to 41 points.
This added to t'he previous week's declinj
makes a drop of over a cent a pound
during the past fortnight. The down-
ward tendency has had practically no
interruption and the bears flushed with
the success of their operations have
paid no heed to bullish news or devel-
opments.
Notwithstanding the severe decline,
prices have already have already exper-
ienced general sentiment continues ex-
tremely bearish, this being ©specially so
among local commission houses. This

week which would appear to give color
to the larger crop estimates of 13,000,00)
•given out recently.
In considering the present large move-
ment, however, It should be remember-
ed that this season has been about three
weeks late, and furthermore that pick'
ing had been greatly retarded by ex-
