CHICAGO, Aug. 6,-The gossip on the
curb was very scant just before the open
ing, and few traders had a very decided
opinion either way. The open board calls
started September wheat at 76&c. run it
up to 762Sc, and closed at 765Sc. The reg
ular board was little inclined to feel bull
ish on the much lighter receipts at st.
Louis, which seemed TO indicate falling
OF in the future arrivals of winter
wheat. Yesterday afternoon on the
curb calls on September corn were run up
from 44$5c@44$4c on heavy buying by Ed
Bangs. The opening on the regular board
was at 4414@443sc. September wheat
opened at 764c. Nothing of any special
interest was developed up to noon. st.
Louis kilograms indicated quite an active
effort movement. which helped to hold our
market up around nc for September, and
had considerable to do with putting it up
to 7714c earlier in the day. Abour 100. 600
bushels were taken for shipment at st.
Louis, but it was to fill room previ-
ously engaged for corn. 1t was
not used as originally intended.
because the price of corn has gone up be-
You'd the reach of shippers. After selling
moderately at 7714c the price reacted to
T6Ic and again advanced to ne. staying
there with good deal of firmness. Re-
ceiptS seem to be falling off little here in
the Northwest, just enough to keep the
market firm, but this is offset by change
of views on the part of Northwestern farm
ers. They have begun to fiji d fields in
which crops are not entirely damaged, and
have decided that while they have the ma
chimes out they may as well run through
them. This is in perfect accord with the
manner in which damage reports come in
on every crop, and if they keep OH chang
ing there will be very fair yield of every
thing.
WEATHER REPORTS
cut no particular figure one way or the
other. No heavy rains have fallen in the
corn belt during the past twenty-four hours
but the weather throughout the North and
West is fair and generally pleasant. Corn
hestated about going higher, then. about
noon, Hutchinson blOSSomed out as a pretty
heavy seller, through Capt Morrison. AL
together he let go little less than 500. 600
bushels. Talk on the next visible is that
the increase will be about l, 500. 600 bushels.
This estimate is made by King 81 Co. of
Toledo. Wheat felt easier about 1880, and
reacted again to 76M@76Tc, there being
no especially pronounced buying and pretty
free offerings. EasneSs also came from
estimates on the visible larger than that
made by King IL Co., but a rush was made
to firm up the market OH buying during the
last few minutes. Corn hrmed up to 445sc,
a good many orders coming from St. Louis
and other outside points. September pork
was the strongest thing in the provision line,
selling to $9.S719@ $3.50, zoe over the open
ing. The close all around was steady.
New York exporters took ten boat loads of
wheat for immediate shipment. This was
about the best bull news on the floor at the
close. King 81 Co. wires Ray d LeozynskY
that the Dayton & Michigan road have over
1000 loaded cars of wheat on track at To-
ied0 waiting elevator room.
