Chicago, Aug. 16.-Wheat at the opening
was about the same as yesterdays closing to
NC higher, and after numerous fluctuations
prices declined sc for September and 40
nc for December and reacted PC, closing
firm at about medium figures. Light receipts
ana the good export business yesterday
caused the temporary show OF strength at the
opening, but cables were fiat and depressed
and New York wired that foreign buying or
ders were very generally withdrawn. There
were pretty free offerings during most of the
session. There was little pressure to sell
corn at the opening, due to reports Of rain
particularly west Of the Mississippi The de-
mand was light and prices receded
u to &c, more marked on the deferred
futures. Later the market showed a little
more steadiness with less inclination
to sell the near futures and prices rallied
@D%c. During the latter part of the session
the feeling was easy, and prices settled back
again 15MAc, and closed steady. With only
moderate trade in oats weak feeling pre-
vailed, prices receding &c, but reacted and
closed at about the same prices as yesterday.
There was a very liberal buying of Septem-
Der on the break by the shorts 1t was a case
of almost perfect stagnation on the specula-
tive department Of the provision trade Pri-
ces were shade higher but there was gen
eral indisposition to trade. Compared with
the closing prices of the day before pork IS
nomtnally l5c cheaper, lard from 2% to &c
lower, ribs unchanged to sc higher.
