Show Day WEATHER TALK STREHGTHEHS MARKET Conditions at Homo More of a Factor Than the "War Scare" in Near East. CHICAGO, Oct. 10. Dry weather talk apparently supplanted tho "war scare" as a market factor in tho wheat pit today to-day and brought out an actlvo general demand, which resulted In a strong mar-bet mar-bet the greater part of tho day. The market opened easy, with, prices lic to 5c lower, owing to on advance In the price of consols and to a moderate decline In tho price of wheat at Liverpool. Before Be-fore tho end of the first half hour the market had recovered on buying by somo of tho leading traders, who. It was said, were alarmed by the continued absence of rain In tho winter wheat section. As trading progressed prices made additional ad-ditional advances until December touched $1,012 and May ?1.048p an advance of moro than 1c from tho low point. Tho market mar-ket closed strong and near tho best marks of tho day. The corn market was generally dull, but firm, owing to tho strength of wheat, which offset tho favorable conditions for tho maturing of the new crop. Tho market mar-ket closed firm at about tho best prices of tho day. Extreme dullness prevailed in the oats pit, but tho market was firm In sympathy with wheat and com. At the closo prices were 5c lower to lic higher. An advance of ?1.G5 per barrel In the prlco of October pork was the feature of an otherwise dull market In provisions. October closed at 115.25, tho high point of the day. Tho closing was off 12c to 37ic. RANGE OF THE LEADING FUTURES. Wheat Open. High. Low. Close.
