CHICAGO Aug. 2O.-Wheat and oats contin-
ued excited. with occasional spell OF guinness.
and closed with decided advances But corn;
after the opening was higher then grew Gull
and weak This was due 10 fears OF inanipula-
ton by the clique, which is SAID 10 comprise
number of heavy local houses with eastern
backing who are supposed TO De preparing TO
corner September. Wheat opened with Deem
Der quotel at from 81 05 to u O5s4 against
81 04 at the close yesterday and sold quickly
up to 81 06. followed by al almost as speedy
decline to 81 O5 In fingered in the neip h0or-
hood for a time then took dip downward TO
81 04A, rebounded to 81 O5A ana broke TO
81 0l2 All of this occurred WITHIN the first
two hours. The fluctuations later displayed
some nervousness among the traders, but prices
moved up on higher plane. About IL o'clock
the price shot up in five minutes from 81 Uo4
to 81 o., dropped back 1bc and then Jumped
again, touching 81 075k. heSitated for time.
then bounded to 81 0elh, but under heavy
offerings near the close broke to and closed at
81 065s. Trading became very animated at the
higher range of prices and a repetition of the
panicky state of affairs existing on last Satur-
day and Monday appeared imminent Tor mo
ment or two. The days news was strongly
bulish, and clearings from the Atlantic sea
board were unpre cedentedly heavy, reaching
about 200 coo bushels, if flour be included aud
New Orle. rs cleared 40 ,000 bushels for Ant
werp but the great bulge of the day was due
to a dispatch to the effect that the Russian gov
eminent had issued an order prohibiting the
export of wheat cantaing per cent OF rye, and
another cablegram, when repoTCeu the prom
btion of exports of rye from Finland. Another
item to the effect that the fortresses OF Russia
were being victuallei, Immediately raised the
rumors of war and sent prices to the top The
corn market very nervous and cratic.
Commission men, with either buying or selling
orders, had hard time if orders were limited
anywhere within n cent of the market price
| The crowd we're all buyers and all sellers at the
| same moment. Shorts we're afraid to trade on
account of the supposed corner. Most OF the
| September option is held here by prominent
| houses supposedly for eastern men, and shorts
| fear that TO protect IL they will
90 on bull campaign, if the
bears. in expectation of large receipts, begin
| to sell short freely. September, 10 different
| parts of the pit at the same time, sold at the
| opening from Csc up to 85c, but very few bought
| it at higher prices and its tumble was
! quick, 6616c being marked in the first
half hours trading. 1t recovered again
to 671ec very quickly. and later it
reached 631kc. 1t broke later to G614c but the
market rallied some with late strength in
wheat, and closed at 6, &c. Good buying Of oats
| for export, both here and IN New York, fright
| ened shorts, who in their efforts to cover,
| forced prices up 1924 cents. The Provision
market was rather active, and, Notwithstanding
the heavy receipts of hogs and lower prices for
them, products were inclined to tlrmness.
Fluctuations were narrow, and changes from
yesterdays small.
