CHICAGO. ILL. Aug l2-Again the bulls in thu
wheat pit reared and again the bears danced
right merrily TO their piping. On top OF the
SIC advance recorded yesterday. there wai
piled a further appreciation OF 27sc in ruling
options. December, though all OF II. except
15sc, had disappeared at the close. The mar.
ket was in an extremely nervous and excited
state during the entire session.
The general feeling in the pit favored highe,
prices and the news OF the day tended III the
same direction but uncertainty IN the size OF
uncovered shorts interest here, and the poSSl'
bility that one or more of the persistent bears
might be driven to the wall, helped confidence
and tended TO an evening up on trades, DOth
LONG and shorts. at the frst sign OF Ganger
The result was series Of stampeues ana ~hlcn
alternately sent the market UP and down IN the
liyeIiest and most bewildering fashion The
general tendency OF the session, however, was
upwards and the result OF the Gag S trading
was as stated above.
Corn-Started of easy, and September sold
from 5gIs65S1.c the weakness being due 10 latd
fine rains in the corn belt and hesitation in
wheat At the opening shorts took advantage
of the weakness to cover, and the market raj
lied some. Finally when wheat made its big
advance, corn got excited, and September sold
TO 6O5sc. After the furry was over September
sold of to and closed at 5aBc
Hogs-Products had another dull day, and
seemed to be entirely lost on the provision
market. Short pork kept between SO 40 and
$40 80, and closed at SO i2h.
