CHICAGO, July 31.-There was another
bad slump in wheat on Change to-day and
another low price record was scored. The
traders In the wheat pit appeared perfect
ly dazed when the market opened and hold
ers were found anxious to dispose OF their
property at almost any price that anyone
chose to offer for it. September wheat,
closed on Saturday with apparent tirmuess
at 6l16c, was practically unstable until 1t
was urged upon buyers at 5Sc There were
a few lots disposed of in the opening melee
at from $3.50 down to SOC, but before buy
ers came forward in any number the price
was 5Sc and even $3.50 was all that could
be obtained for an instant. Cash wheat
was nominally worth only $3.50 c at the time
that September touched 57%c. Lyon q
Hurlburt were unable to meet their mar
gins aud gave notice TO the secretary Of the
Board to close out their deals. Foreign
markets were easier at the opening. The
reported engagements of gold abroad for
shipment TO this country and liberal pur-
chases of wheat for export both here and
at New York infused little stiffening into
the trade toward the close and left Sep
