CHICAGO; Aug. S.-The record of to-day's
wheat market is barren of new developments
or interesting features. Rather light local
trade was about all there was doing i'll tut
ures and the profound dizziness noted OF late
is owing partly TO lack of outside orders ana
partly TO the fact that many OF our largest
operators are at present out OF the CITY, fluc-
tuations in prices were again within very
narrow limits, the bulk of the trading being
within 14c range all the forenoon and the
ground travelled over about the same as yes
terday. Fair buying by parties who went
short Yesterday, and some demand, supposed
to be for continental account through local
house, developed q stronger tone, and from
the inside figures paid early there was rally
of 40SSc. December sold from 7S1S up to
7Sl2c The bulk of the trading in the mean
time was from 7SIsc TO 7S4c together TO
7S4c TO 7SSSc together. The Northwest mas
been getting too much rain lately ana the
news from there was generally favorable for
holders. Closing quotations were 1Sc
14c lower than yesterday for the leading tu-
lures. Terry little interest was manifested in
corn, trading being light and confined to
room operators. Fluctuations covered an
exceedingly narrow range and prices did not
vary materially from Wednesday. Oats were

ume of business. The easiness was due to
increased arrivals. Not quite so much in
terest was manifested III the market for mess
pork, and the feeling was easy. Prices de-
clined I2I2@l5c and closed steady al me-
dunn figures An active business was trans
acted in the lard market and the feeling was
stronger. Prices ruled 2l2@5c higher early,
but sold back again and closed comparatively
steady Trading was moderately active in
short ribs, and prices ruled strong The feel
ing was not SO strong, and prices later de-
clined 23@5c, closing steady at medium fig
ures.
