CHICAGO, Aug. Is. - The visible supply
statement of wheat, as compiled by the secretary
of the Chicago Board of Trade, declared an in
crease of only about 200, 600 bushels, whereas
operators had generally looked for an increase of
one and a half million bushels. AS a result, the
market started up very firm this morning, the
october option advancing 10 82sc; but the offer
ings became large at this point, and prices fell
pack l$c, but rallied again ON good buying, in
tuenced somewhat by the rumor that the next
government report would show a much smaller
estimate OF the crop than was indicated in
the August statement. At times there
was very little wheat for sale, and orders
coming on the market at such times caused a
rapid advance. The market closed at &c on the
regular board, and advanced to S24 q S2ac for
October on the afternoon board. The corn
market was active and lower, and the feeling
was very unsettled. The absence of the frost.
which had been predicted yesterday, and very
large receipts, influenced considerable pressure
to sell, which caused a weak opening and prices
declined : a &c for the near futures, rallied again
on frost predictions for tonight, but receded
and finally closed s03c lower for the near
futures than yesterday: Oats for August de-
livery ruled easy, while the other futures
remained steady. Mess pork opened firmer, but
weakened 100124c, rallied 10c, and closed at
medium figures. Lard ruled stronger and
| about Ole higher.
In flour the feeling was easy, but prices were
without quotable change.
