CHICAGO. Aug. 24.-There was sharp reac-
ton in all the markets on Change to-day. I'M
mense receipts and easier cables more than of
st the heavy exports AMI reports or the dam
age by frost in the wheat pit There was a
rally, however, from the break, and December
closed only Ac under last saturdays final
figure-at 81 Ol34. The frost line was found
too far north to seriously iniure corn, and in
face of the actual receipts OF oZ2 cars here to
day and the prospective receipts Oh go cars to-
morrow, the value went to pieces: september
broke from 65c to Ole aud OCTOBER from o2lSc 10
SIC. Prices were slightly improved at the close.
Cudahy knocked the bottom out Of the pork
market temporar. y by sale of from $4,000 to
10000 barrels, the price dropping OFF Is cents.
Liberia! purchases caused a reaction later, aud
the close was only 12lSc under Saturday last
figure. AT the opening the feeling IN the wheat
PIT was strong on reports or the Itost damage
here on northwestern account December
started at about 81 05A and went quickly up to
81 O6ls The frost damage tax turned out To
be chiefly sensational, while the lower cables
and increasing weakness in New York and fres
selling orders from there gradually brought the
bull feeling to a halt. AT the same time there
was break of nearly cents in corn, and the
crowd soon went over to the selling side, caus-
ing drop Of &c. December sold OIL to 81 0ilS,
reacted to 81 054 but again started on grand
slump and fell to 81 0395 subsequently, the
market rallied somewhat. leaving December at
81 C4sa at the close. Corn started off with a
good deal of vgor. The frost talk was the
lever used for lifting prices, ana during the first
five minutes September sold from 6ic TO 65c,
and October up to SIC. but there were apparent
ly unlimited quantities for sale at the advance,
October especially. was offered freely aud soon
began to break, pulling September down with
it. Later the big receiptS Tor Tomorrow. 993
cars added to the weakness, and October sold
from &c early to SIC, and September from Csc
to Gle. October closed at 58c and September
at 6eI5, net loss of 25sc, and 1c for the latter.
Oats we're very firm at the opening. September
started at Si94c and May at Soc. The last
named future touched 351sc, when the market
weakened under an influence OF free selling and
decline in the other cereals September
dropped to 30lbc and May to 3ic, when there
was a reaction to 3lc and 343sc respectively
The close was at 305Sc for September aud 1880
for May, indicating &c decline since Satur-
day. There was considerable iuctuaton in the
price of rye, the tendency being downward.

The provision market was heavy and dull for
the most part. Pork closed 10t12l@c lower than
on Saturday. lard slac lower and ribs lowed a
decline of cents. the bulk of the operations
so far as packers were concerned was in the
way of selling the later futures against the pur-
chases OF September for what profit appeared
in carrying charges. A good deal Of long pork
was sold on stop loss orders The range in
September pork was from $40 10 to 50 &C., and
10 lard from So IS to So AN, and in ribs from
