CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Today's leading mar
kets showed no very decided features one way
or another, though wheat continues heavy and
ranges downward. The cold weather s~ustains
corn aud the provision list, Receipts continue
rath& light. Wheat was again weak at the
opening, the primary cause being lower foreign
markets and rumors, which were later denied. of
heavy failures in the London grain trade. The
selling was led by heavy operators, and was
soon general, October going down to Site, which
was &c below the opening, and 1015c below yes
terday's close. Later the market became frmer
on predictions of frost throughout the
Northwestern States and northern Iowa and
Illinois, and advanced to 81 0S1sc for October,
but prices were quite steady, the bulls" securing
little 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condition of the wheat now being withdrawn
from store vary greatly, some claiming that it
Is IN perfect condition, and others stating that
its removal is O matter of necessity. The close
OF the morning session was 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 of dam
age, If it continues, made a shade higher
prices during the early hours of the day. The
general tone, however, was a little easier, with
trading on a very moderate scale. Oats were
subject to a slight advance for August delivery,
the shorts" being anxious to cover, on the be-
lief that the option named will be subject to a
little squeeze. AID advance of 1c, however, was
followed by a partial reaction as soon as the
short" element had covered. In the provision
pit the situation remains about the same; Octo-
