cHIcAeo-Wheat-The was large trading
again to-day and the feeling was unsettled and
feverish. Prices fuctuated frequently and
quite wildly at times during the session. The
market opened very weak and panicky with
prices %@lc lower and varied 1c in different
parts of the crowd, quickly declined N@Hc
more inside prices being lk@l7zc below the
closing figures yesterday then rallied 25Ec from
inside prices, but notwithstanding numerous
fluctuations then eased of some and closed lc
higher for September and l1se higher for De-
oember than closing figures yesterday.
The early weakness was attributed TO the de
cline in corn and to the news about the Russian
crop. which was not generally known yester-
day. There was a rush to sell and but little
demand, buyers holding of for bottom prices.
The result was sharp break. The crowd sold
rather freely and got short around bottom
prices. and when buying commenced there was
q sharp rally and urgent desire TO cover.
Numerous buying orders were received and
during the excitement the 81 mark was passed
for September delivery.

and the feeling developed early was weak with
trading at lower prices but later the market
manifested better feeling, and closed steady.
The weakness early was attributed to the rains,
which were quite general all over Kansas. The
terday, with free selling, aud prices sold off
with little reaction 1900. but at inside figures
a fair demand was developed. and the market
reacted &c, ruled steady, and closed lA@lssc
lower than yesterday

First sales were at a &c decline, and receded q
ale more. The decline brought in fair buying.
