CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-Private cables reported
steady markets, and as the weather looked
like rain l expected temporary advance, but
wheat dragged with little business doing un-
til nearly noon, and closed steady under some
little demand from "shorts." There is moth
ing OF interest in the market, and prices will
depend almost wholly upon the receipts, which
are at present quite liberal; therefore don't
look for much higher prices, and am inclined
to favor the short side. The curb for Septem-
Der is 99Yc.
Owing to the death of &. A. Kicker, one of
our largest operators in corn, his speciality
had a sharp break early, but closed STEADY
with The decline recovered, l think the
crowd was of opinion that he was long, and
expected the stuff to be thrown on the market,
but even If he Vas interested to any ex-
tent it will be several days before
anything will be done with his line, and as
reports from the corn districts are good /
weuld go short and stand by the sale. Sep
tember is offered at 75H C on the curb.
Oats fairly firm at a trife under yes terday's
prices. The receipts are good and
will increase, therefore / wouldn't be on the
long side, especially as leash" is being deliv-
ered quite largely these days.
Provisions strong and higher, tending up
wards
