CHICAGO, Aug 14-At the opening on
| Change this morning the bull crowd made
brief and Intellectual attempt to hold up prices
| For short time they were partially successful,
| following which prices went down with crash
| September wheat, which opened at 87sc, sold
| rapidly down to S65c. Outsiders and local
holders of wheat threw large amounts of it on
the market, the only buyers being shorts who
were particularly anxious to cover in the face of
such encouraging possibilities for further
| decline. The feeling was also easier
in Liverpool and with reports of
fine weather and other conditions
favoring the crops, the day throughout was
favorable for the bears. Owing to the general
belief that the amount of old corn in the country
is limited. the market for that article was less
| susceptible to weakening influences than was the
wheat market. Still receipts being good and
the demand only ordinary, the market was
weak, on the whole, and shows a decline for the
day. Oats were weak and lower. owing to large
arrivals, though the trade was fairly active
