Aug. 22d was great day on 'Change-in
Chicago. The dispatches says: The fluc-
tuations were rapid and excitement was
| the ruling state of the market. The more
| conservative dealers, who have been
| drawing out otthe various deals contented
with their profits OF fearing To risk further
| losses, say that there is no end TO the
orders that come in from outsiders. Ey-
erybody seems to be buying, and yet the
market broke again heavily to-day, OPEN
ing at low down figures and closing up
pretty strong. This was true of both pro-
| duce and provisions. The difference be-
tween the highest price for September on
| Saturday and the lowest price 10 day was
as follows: Wheat 4, corn 6s, oats b.
pork 20 and lard o5 cents. The afternoon
call showed great activity but no great
| change in prices, but after the Call the
curbstone brokers started senseless re-
port which found many gulls who credited
! ii, that the president was dead, and they
| forthwith began to sell out right and LETT,
| causing a decline of cents. OF course
| this was not legitimate trading and does
not go on the record, but it indicates how
sensitive is the market and how sympa-
| thetIc with the news from Washington.
| The clique are believed 10y some to be out
of the deal and by others to be milking
| the markets.
