Chicago Aug. 9.-The corn pit was the cen
ter Of interest most of the time to-day.
Wheat was largely side issue. The govern
ment weekly weather bulletin showed serious
damage to corn in many states by drouth and
reports from the country were more emphatic
than before regarding the imminence OF
great disaster to the crop. There was some
weakness near the close on report that rain
was falling in Nebraska Compared with
last night May corn left OF lc higher: wheat
is "a a. 4 down Pork and ribs are each up
20c and lard 40c. Transactions in corn were
not confined to the local trade the outside in
tereSt increasing and buying orders becoming
numerous. The government weekly weather
bulletin demonstrated that the past week was
hard one in infiicting more damage than
any previous one To-day there
were scattering showers throughout
the northwest, Colorado and Nebraska. it
being dry and hot elsewhere, and private ad-
vices reported considerable injury in Ne
hraska and other leading corn raising states,
which short time back promised an immense

a depressing effect on the near futures, "ex-
change' cutting considerable figure. The
market opened at yesterdays final figures,
and under an urgent demand from shorts
advanced lGDllsc for September. and nc for
December, and at the close the former was
up 2s1lsc and the latter l611hc. Receipts
were light, and estimates for tomorrow are
also very moderate. Wheat at the opening
was easy. and from 9s0n9s lower, then i'm
proved, prices for September advanced lc and
December nc; eased off again and the
closing was about 1sc lower for Septem Der
and &c lower for December, than the closing
figure OF yesterday. The uncertainty in re-
gard to the financial situation and the report
OF the failure of New York bank had some
effect. but there was buying from other
sources on a moderate scale Oper-
ators also expect that the government
monthly report will DE bullish. The weekly
report said that the drought was affecting the
crop in Minnesota, the spring wheat crop
in Minnesota was light and North Dakota
suffering for rain. There was s.. 300. 600 more
gold taken IN Europe for America. Gable ad-
vices were OF an unfavOrable tenor but pre-
Sumably reflection on the American mar
ket. Oats showed better trade and a strong
or feeling, due to sympathy with corn and al
so to crop reports being rather unfavorable
The feature was the strength and ad-
vance Of II in May while
september advanced &c. The bulge brought
out liberal selling and prices reacted ls6b sc |
and the market closed steady. The provision
market was very firm on moderate amount
OF business. The irmness was the result OF
small offerings. The hog receipts as re.
ported from the yards. only amounted 10 600
mead, instead of 1900 as had been expected
Some buying was led by Armour & Co
causing some shorts to cover. Lard was she
most active article on the list On the adj
vance there was some long pork sold out
which was said TO be the cleaning up Of a line
which was only partly iiquidated on the slump
