Show WHEAT lit! WEAK AID BEMSJAVE 81! Only One Slight Rally During Session; Close Nearly at Lowest Point. CHICAGO, Sept, 2S. With the exception ex-ception of a slight rally during the first" j half hour the wheat market was weak the entire day. Influenced by the weekly week-ly statistics and by weak cables, the market mar-ket opened easy with prices unchanged to ic lower, compared with Saturday's closing. Shortly after tho opening the demand of sevoral commission houses raised prices to a. point about 3c nbovo the previous close. Tho market, however, was unable to withstand the bearish Influence In-fluence and soon weakened again. Declines De-clines at Minneapolis and Winnipeg were partly responsible for the renewed weakness. weak-ness. The lower prices at Minneapolis were due largely to an Increase of S50,-000 S50,-000 bushels In stocks there during the past two days, while the decline at Winnipeg Win-nipeg was largely tho result of predictions predic-tions of a big Increase in receipts of new wheat. During tho last half the market was uearlshly affected by rumors to the effect that the visible supply statement would show u surprising Increase In the available stocks of wheat In the United States and Canada. The official figures which were made public a few minutes before the close verified these rumors, Inasmuch In-asmuch as the increase In stocks was estimated es-timated at 5,220,000 bushels, compared with a decrease of 250,000 bushels the corresponding cor-responding time a year ago. Export demand de-mand here and at Northwestern markets was dull, but late reports' from the seaboard sea-board claimed 36 boatloads had been taken for export. Additional rains in the winter win-ter wheat bolt were another reason for the heaviness of the local market. The market closed at almost tho bottom prices. Tlie corn market was weak all duy, despite de-spite a cold wave which extended as far south as Texas. Severe frosts were reported re-ported in tho corn belt, but in many instances in-stances the claim was made that the crop was too far advanced to be damaged to any great extenL Thero was a fairly good demand for corn and prices were 5c below Saturday. The market closed weak, with prices 4c higher lo 5c lower. Trado in oats was quiet, being inllu-enccd inllu-enccd by corn and wheat. The market closed weak, with prices unchanged to i&'Jc lower.
