Chicago," III., October 27.—The markets on
'change generally opened easier to-day, and
little of special Interest was developed during
the session. Wheat opened fairly steady with
December at 73^c. It soon became evident
that strengthening or supporting Influences
were going to be scarce, and many small scalp-
era weie induced to sell out before the ex-
pected break came. Tills action carried wheat
bai k to 7SHc, Subsequently little Interest was
developed, December wheat keeping close to
78%c throughout the morning session. On the
afternoon board the market became stronger,
and December wheat closed at 73si®73Xo.
Com was moderately active to-day, and the
feeling developed was firm. The market
opened nnchange 1, became weak In sympa-
thy with wheat, declining ',®^c,then became
firmer, due to strong cableB, light receipts, ur-
gent demand for cash corn and free buying
at times by two prominent houses, the market
closing a shade higher than yesterday, with
May at 45,!i®45.Vc and November, 41'4®42c.
Provisions were traded In moderately. The
steadiness In the hog market had a strength-
ening Influence on the market tor products,
and early tiansacttons showed a slight ad
vancc in prices with moderately free offer-
ings. A weaker feeling was developed, and
more deferred deliveries changed hands at
lower pi Ices. January delivery Is still the
leader, and the bulk of trading Is centered In
contracts for that month, the demand only
lair and mainly from short Interest. Inquiry
on snipping account fair and offerings not
very large, Bus ers and sellers were some-
what apart in views, and trading was com-
paratively light. Receipts of products were
. ' ipujents moderately free. Janua-
laige and shipments moderately fiee,

NEW YORK STOCK EXOHANGE.
New York, October 27 —The stock market
was less actlvo to-day, and its movements
quite lrrogular, though Interest was absorbed
by a few stocks which were affected by Influ-
ence peculiar to themselves. The general sen-
timent was still bullish, but traders were In
favor of a reaction, and in the absence of any
great demand for stocks they succeeded in
keeping prices down to the level of last night.
Great pressure was brought against Gould
stocks, and Kansas and Texas sold down on
tho rumor that It would have a recovery In a
short time. Missouri Pacific followed, and
Western Union suffered to a limited extent.
Traders forced the general list off, but re-
covered fully equal to.tlio dccline. Late In the
day Western Union became very strong on
the rumor wnich was In |some measure
corroborated that the Postal and United lines
had agreed to advance rates. Manitoba was
also prominent In advance. In the uullsted
depaitment Cotton Seed oil was very strong
ail the way out on the announcement that the
Standard Oil people were In control aid tho
election of Mr. Flagler to the presidency of
the company. While Reading was most active
as usual Its fluctuations were small aud unlm-
fioi taiit, as were also St. l'aul and New Eag-
and. The opening was firm to strong at ad-
vances of from y, to X. and further fractional
gains were made In early trading, with Michi-
gan Central and Hocking Coal being leaders.
The list was weak after the first hour,
and Gould stocks became prominent
for the declines established. Extreme
dullness was the trading feature in
the afternoon, but prices recovered, wlta
Western Union the most conspicuous for
strength. The firm tone lasted till the close,
which was quiet at near the opening figures I11
most cases. Closing prices show Irregular
changes, though advances are In the majori-
ty, and the only important decline was in
haneaB and Texas, which lost 1%, while Mani-
toba Is np IX, Oregon Navigation aud Western
Union 1 per cent each
Railroad bonds quiet and as a general thing
firm, though the Kansas and Texas ruuior de-
preseed the securities of that road, an 1 to a
certain extent the goneral list. Final figures
are higher in amaji-rity of cases.
Government bonds dull buc firm.
State bonds quiet but steady.
