Oats were advanced H cents. Pork was bid up 40 cents. Nearly everything closed at nearly top prices. There was .more excitement of a legitimate order than any day since Cud’hy and Wright tumbled the. first week in August. There was a surprise in the official figures on wheat. From the August figures the crop was figured about 385,000,000 bushels. Then the month was so excellent for the late harvest that the trade thought the final September report on condition and yield would raise the total to 400,000,000. Instead, the average was cut to 74 per cent, of a crop, and the total for the country reduced to 371,000,000 bushels. This was 12,000,000 off from the August timate. and makes the crop 150.000,000 short of 1892, and nearly 250,000,000 short of 1891, the banner year. Telegraphic Clicks.
