CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 4.-There was tame
closing to as duh and uninteresting week in
the wheat market rs has been witnessed since
the new crop began to move Fluctuations IN
speculative values were narrow IN the extreme
as news was so scarce that there were no dis
turbing influences. Local operators were again
more inclined to even up their loads than to PItl
out fresh lines. both sides being quite vii
apparently to await Developments In the North
west The near future of the market VII I'M
doubtedlY hang on the character of the move
ment of the new spring crop out OF hrsthands.
Bears counting with great ASSURANCE on a
general let down in the market soon the
weight of Northwestern wheat is felt sAugust
whe at was fully as weak as more deIerredfutureS.
Speculative trading almost entirely local,
aud largely in December, which irmed MP ga
1zc early, then broke &c andfclosed practically
at bottom, or at ia az sc, which was 3sc mellow
yesterdays closing price.
Corn was fairly active and weaker, lower
prices being established and the feeling was but
a continuation of that developed several days
ago
feeling prevailed in the market for hog products.
and changes in prices were slight, but toward
the close were advanced somewhat and closed
firm Speculative offerings were light and the
xraG INIT
OF hogs were moderate, with sales at further
decline, and reports from domestic and foreign
markets favored buyers. Receipts of products
were moderate, and shipments of all kinds quite
heavy for closing day OF week Trading was
mainly on local account. Short ribs ruled 597I5c
