to-day, and the market was barren of sug-
gestlve features. In response to the improve
mcnt OF 1-64d in Liverpool, August contracts
opened 3O4 points higher, but the advance
Drought out free selling. The improvement
was lost, and sales, presumed to be ON Liver
pool account, were made at the lowest prices of
the day. There has been a frmer feeling in
more distant positions, and the sentiment in
their favor seems increasing The closing
prices of new crop months are 2Q1S points
higher than yesterday"

CHICAGO, Aug 8.-The action of the markets
this morning was more mild than for many
days At times there was fair activity in all
the pits and on the exchange floor, but that
was confined to rallies or upturns in prices.
The general tendency was downward. Wheat
was quiet and 16@4c lower during the fore
noon. At 1890 it touched e2zsc, a decline of 1c
from the close Tuesday The price was
above Sc again in an instant, for while the ten
dency Of prices for the session was downward
there was stubborn fighting all the way down
Wheat closed fairly steady about SIC under last
night In corn the range was quite narrow, and
closing prices were very nearly the same on
yesterday. Oats were quite firm and independ-
ent of the earlier market for other grains
Provisions were active, but weak and lower.
Short ribs showed the greatest decline, and the
price for September dropped from IS 40 to IS 10,
and the closing sales were at IS III. a net loss
of I'M from yesterday. Lard closed 10c lower.
Pork was offered more freely than buyers were
disposed to take it, and September broke from
$14 80 to S14 05, but closed at $l4 Is.
