CHICAGO. Aug. l9.-As usual there was
high tension at the opening OF the wheat market
this morning, and because OF the prospect of a
squeeze in corn and cool wave In the north
west, there was good bulge for the first half
hour. Cables were very conflicting The sales
of August wheat we're principally between 81 OF
and 81 %; September 9994c and u 02; December
opened about cent up, around 81 O51e, touched
81 "a, and see-sawed between that price and
81 0l5s before O'Clock The market took an
other Dound at the close and sold al the highest
point of the day, and closed strong at 81 o. or
l4c up from last night August closed at
81 031S. The leading interest on Change at the
opening was in corn. The talk or the large hold
lngs which does not come out on any advance
yet made, has caused a more pronounced feel
ing about q september deal. This put the trade
on their mettle at the opening. The most gen
eral belief is that Hutchinson has had hand
in holding long corn off the market. aud with
farmers holding actual stuff back squeeze
would be very natural The market started
very fiighty, September being quoted by many
around size, while sales were quickly made all
the way from 67c to Csc. There was drop to
67lfc. and a second bulge at the end of the hour
TO $50. From this there was sharp decline
from the break in wheat carrying September
TO 66l4c. 1t then became same OF see-saw.
The market became very active and strong at
the close. and again sold close to the top
figures. September closed at 216c over last
night. Considerable strength was apparent in
oats at the start. when prices were ls6DISc
higher. August advanced to 2o1xc aud May TO
321kc Then the market broke to 2oc for August
and 3214c for May. The decline was due to the
slump in wheat and free selling. The market
afterward rallied M03Sc under fair buying.
partially on account of the bulge in the other
markets and partially on account of good buy
ing. Provisions were only moderately active
fairly firm and without much business. Pork
was active and prices were irregular. The
market opened stronger at T1b@l0c advance
and further appreciation Of l2136G15c was
gained. Later. prices receded 71S4l0c, and
closed comparatively steady Lard had fair
demand The prices ruled 5617l1c higher on
whole range. and the market closed steady at
the medium figures. Short ribs were fairly
active, though prices were somewhat Irregular.
The close was rather steady to firm.
