CHICAGO, Ill August 25.-The visible
supply statement of wheat, as compiled
by the secretary of the Chicago 30 I'd of
Trade, disclosed an Increase of only about
10000 bushels, whereas operators had
generally looked for an increase of 1,500,-
0 bushels. As a result, the market
started up very firm this morning, the Oc-
tober option advancing to S2se, but the Of
ferings became large at this point, and
prices fell back lie, but rallied again on
good buying, Influenced somewhat by the
m 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 ad-
vance. q market closed at SC on toe
regular board and advanced to S2i@S22c
Tor October on the afternoon board. The
corn market was active and lower ard the
feeling was very unsettled. Tee absence
of frost, which had been predicted yes er-
day, and very large receipts, Influenced
considerable pressure to sell, which caused
a weak opening, and prices declined s@4c
Tor the near futures, rallied again on
recedad, and adaily closed 2@Jc
low er for the near futures than yester-
day. Oats for August ruled easy,
while the other futures remained steady.

ql0table change. Wheat opened 4@kc
