CHICAGO, ILL. Aug. H-This was another
wild and weariSome day in the wheat pit on the
board of trade. Prices ranged up ana down over
a very wide range, without any apparently sui
hcient cause, and both bulls and bears were
alternated on gridiruns, though adTocates OF
high prices had the best OF the situation, anu
improved their opportunity TO the extent o.
ultimately carrying the price 10 point 4lsc
above the closing figures of yesterday, and the
close was 4i4c higher.
