too much of q scalpers' market to admit OF
yesterdays sharp advance in corn being
maintained. The day opened with more
sellers than buyers. There was Q time
after this when things looked bullish again,
but some Of the heavy buyers Of the past
few days began unfolding, which brought
q new crop Of bears, headed by Norman
Ream, who were free sellers. The sum-
mary of the days business increased the
visible supply and aided in turning the
tide. On the curb this evening September
is quoted worth 5155c, or q quarter cent
less than on call, with more sellers than
buyers, and probability of farther decline
tomorrow. Wheat has done remarkably
well under the circumstances, and closed
a shade higher than yesterday. Shorts were
covering freely, but the situation is weak.
Provisions also end the day a point or
two over Wednesday, although the opening
and closing were tame. During the first
hour on Change there was quick bulge,
particularly in October options, brodght
about by heavy buying of October pork
by Fowler Bros. The close, though dull,
is much steadier than in cereals.
Receipts of grain were somewhat smaller
to-day while shipments are fully up to the
average. Less vessel room than usual was
engaged, however.
On the board the corn market was active
and the feeling considerably unsettled.
At the opening the feeling was weak and
prices soon receded 15@5Sc for leading
futures below the opening, then fuctuated
for awhile within a range of 115c, but
finally advanced under an active specula-
tive demand 1B@14c above
inside figures and closed 4@35c
higher than at 10 o'clock
yesterday. Shorts were somewhat uneasy
and covered freely. The receipts were
smaller. The visible supply as reported
showed an increase of nearly 100000
bushels. Shippers bought quite freely.
On the call the feeling was shade easier,
and board prices we're shaded 80 IL.
Wheat was active and higher. The re-
ceipts continue very fair and the visible
supply at principal points OF accumulation
was reported as showing an increase Of
over 100000 bushels. However rumors
of European complications, together with
the strength developed IA corn, had the ef-
feet of bringing out an active speculative
demand. Hence the improvement. The
market opened shade lower than the
closing figures or call yesterday and de-
cIined 1Ic, then rallied 20, eased
of q tribe, factuated and fnGily closed
$5gHc higher than on Change yesterday.
Half of this advantage was lost On the call
in the general easiness.
Oats were frmer and higher all around.
Prices ranged 2l@1o higher, and good
part Of the advance was maintained. On
the regular market 2 good speculative de-
mand existed, and The feeling was strength
ened by the advance in corn. On the
sample market liberal business was
done. The tone of the market during the
afternoon was hardly SO strong, and small
concessions were made to buyers.
Rye was firm vita a good speculative
demand. Offerings we're meagre and the
inquiry increased.
There was q fair call for barley, and
cash sold very we'll il store. There was a
speculative inquiry for futures. Quota
tions are not noticeably changed.
Fair business was transacted in the
market for hog products, but mainly on
speculative account. Receipts Of hogs
were not quite SO large and prices were
higher, but this fact appeared to have little
influence on the market.
Corn opened up easier; consequently q
weak feeling was manifested and lower
prices were accepted early in the day
Lard was quoted Sd lower and the eastern
markets developed no particular strength
About the middle OF the session the inquiry
on speculative account was more urgent
trading was fairly active, and prices ma
terially improved on leading descriptions
and ruled with considerable steadiness tC
the close. The shipping inquiry was only
fair.
There was a moderately active demand
for mess pork, especially during the latter
part of the session. The feeling wa;
somewhat unsettled and prices fuctuateG
considerably. The market opened rather
tame at yesterdays closing figures, and {
further reduction of 10@121sc was sub
mitted to. Later a stronger feeling wal
developed and prices were advanced 20@
SOC and the appreciation was general,
we'll supported to the close.
A fair degree of activity was noticeable
in the lard market, and the offerings being
fair and the inquiry at times quite urgent
prices ruled with considerable irregularity
At the opening the market showed signs
of weakness and prices were reduced SO
1Oc, but during the latter part of th'
session the market exhibited more strength
and prices rallied 121S615c and CLOSED
comparatively steady. The shipping de
mand was fair in quiet way.
There was quiet trade in provision
during the afternoon and prices ver'
without material change.
At the stock yards the large number OF
cattle left over from yesterday, owing t.
the excessive supply and the liberal re
eeipts to-day, caused weaker feeling fo
all grades except extra prime export steer
and prices declined 10615c on previou
figures. Shippers. stock buyers and cit
butchers were purchasing. There wa
