uisposAtloA 10 sel more. On the board
only a moderate business was
transacted, and during most
of the session trade was slow. The feeling
was tolerably steady, though at times in
clined to weakness. The weather contin-
ues fine in the west, and foreign market
advices quoted strong feeling and better
weather. Taken altogether there was
nothing to cause any very marked changes.
The offerings to sell wheat were not
large and the demand only moderate.
The receipts we're larger, both of spring
and winter wheat, and shipments fair.
The market opened steady advancing 1s@
15c, then declined 70, rallied trife,
fuctualed and closed about 4@3sc lower
than closing prices yesterday.
Flour was very quiet and prices were
unchanged.
For corn moderate speculative and a
good shipping demand existed and prices
varied but slightly from yesterdays
range. The receipts were smaller, 538
cars being inspected into store, against
613 cars Yesterday. and market ad-
vices from alb road continue favorable
quoting firm markets. The weather was
warm and bright. Prices ruled rather
easy within range of about &c. Early
prices declined a C, then rallied 15c, re-
ceded &c again, then fuctuated and final
ly closed 3sc lower than yesterday. No. 2
in active demand early and sold at 5124@-
SIC, but closed dull at 5115c.
In the oats market there was about as
good trade in sample lots as usual, and
prices ruled with frmness for all good
sound oats, but oats going through the
swea or in anyway unsound or musty were
dull On the regular market trading fell
off a great deal. There was in fact only
small volume of business done Specu-
lative orders were very light, and the con-
dition of the trade seemed to be such that
operators appeared to prefer holding off
and awaiting the development of some
thing new. Prices were steady all around
and not materially changed. Cash oats
were quiet and dull and sold
within yesterdays range of prices.
No. sold at 263s@261Sc, and old sold at
27@271ac. Other grades nominal, and
sold altogether by sample. Future deliv-
cries were quiet and steady. Prices steady
and without much change until at the
close, when the feeling became weaker..The
market closed Ac lower.
An active cash business was done in No.
Frye, and sales were at 614c or the out
side quotations of yesterday. There was
an active shipping demand, and although
the receipts were heavy all consignments
were taken. Sample lots also sold we'll,
and were steady with the offerings Gem
prising mostly rejected. The futures
were firm and higher. August ranged q
@1c better than yesterday, September 7s
@ @1c better and October was 1c better.
The barley market was not so muchim-
proved, but a car of No. 2 sold at 59c, %c
advance and few sales were made for
future delivery at about 1c improvement.
Notwithstanding this the market is still
dull and rather neglected.
In the aggregate Unere was less business
transacted in the market for hog products
than the previous days of the week, though
considerable activity prevailed at times.
The speculative demand was quite active,
and the offerings for future delivery mod
erately large. The market was somewhat
unsettled, but in prices confined within
small range. Foreign edvices indicate a
steadier feeling in lard, and quotations
were advanced Cd. but bacon was inclined
to dullness and short clear sides were
quoted Cd lower. The dispatches from
| the eastern markets showed little change
in that quarter. The receipts of hogs
were fair, with prices favoring buyers.
The receipts of products were not large,
while the shipments were liberal and in
cluded considerable product for foreign
markets. The market opened rathe- weak,
and prices ruled easier during the early
part of the session. Later, the demand
was more urgent, mainly to fill outside
orders, and prices rallied again. About the
middle of the session a weaker feeling
prevailed and prices receded to the inside
range, but toward the close showed more
steadiness, and the greater portion of the
reduction was recovered. There was a
moderate business transacted in the market
for mess pork, but almost exclusively on
speculative account. The shipping demand
was moderate and chiefly in the way of
small orders. The offerings for future
delivery were quite liberal. The market
opened rather tame, and prices declined
10@121ac, but soon rallied again 1919 q
