CHICAGO, Ill, August 60 To-day's
leading markets showed no very decided
features one way or another, though wheat
continues heavy ard ,anges downward.
The cold weather sustains corn and the
provision list. Receipts continue rather
light. Wheat was again weak at the
opening, the primary cause being lower
foreign markets and rumOrs, VIII ch were
later denied, of heavy failures in the Lon
don grain trade. The selling was led by
heavy operators and was soon general, De-
t0her go ng down to SHE. which was &c
below the opening and l@15c below yes
terday's close. Later the market irmed
up, on predictions of a frost throughout the
Northwestern States and Northern Iowa
and Illinois, a round Sl4@Slscf0r October.
The market was quite steady, the bulls
securing lite or nothing to advance the
market on and the bears confident that it
would fall OF its own weight if left alone.
Statements as to the condition of wheat
now being Withdrawn from store vary
greatly, some claiming that it is in
perfect condition aud others that its
removal is a matter of necessity.
The close Of the morning session YVES
quiet and a little heavy. Corn Was a
shade lower at the opening, sympathizing
with the feeling in wheat, but continued
cold weather and fears CT damage if it con-
tinues made a shade higher prices during
the early hours of the day. The general
toae, however, was a lite easy, with
trading on a very moderate scale. Oats
were subject TO a slight advance for Au-
gust delivery, Shorts being anxious TO
cover on the belief that the option named
will be subject to Il little squeeze. An sd-
vance of 1c, however, was followed by a
partial reaction as soon as the short ele-
m3nt had covered. Fiour-The market
was quiet and unchanged. Wheat was
less active and the feeling was weaker.
