CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL. August 7.-Everything
traded in on the Board OF Trade had a
genuine bull market to-day, corn on It's
own account wheat. oats. and provisions
as matter OF sympathy. IL was q
scramble among shorts I'm all the pits
as TO who would get under cover. first
In wheat; prices were male nahss regard any
kind Of statistical information. On the
curb an advance over last nights close
of 7sc. took place. the opening being with
the gain well in hand. and the close show.
ing a further appreciation OF almost 90
The motive came entirely from the
strength in corn. The cash wheat market
was active, keeping In touch with III,
futures. September wheat opened at SOL.
TO 559sc.. sold to 51%c. and closed al
57&c-24c. over yesterday.
| Corn-The strength and activity Of to
days market has not been surpassed II
years. A gain of almost &c. was mad
In the September future, and OF about &c
even before the opening. paying NE
higher than yesterdays final quotations
for anything they could obtain. At IN,
tap of the bell there was a scene OF wild
disorder in the pit, trades being mad,
at all sorts of prices, extending over 9
range of fully 8 cents.
From the beginning until the close OF
the session there was little IL any cessa
ton of the excitement. The buying OF
May was participated In by the country
thus making the covering of short sales
in that month difficult of execution
There was practically no rain In thu
area embracing the corn belt. Adde'
to this fact was the fear OF a sensational
report OF the Iowa crop condition by tn
State Statistician to-day. To confirm pre-
vious bad reports from Nebraska. Their
was the appeal to the Governor of tina
State for relief for the farmers who hav
suffered from the drought. These wer
the influences at work. the oversold con
dition OF the market doing the rest.
| September corn opened at from 6iss Il
5sc sold up to Coo, and closed at 59isc,-
62sc. higher than yesterday. The range ol
May was between 50h and 55ise., and tn
close was with n gain OF 5'sVSc. for tn
day, at J7.c. Cash corn was In GOO
demand, with prices sac. higher thar
yesterday.
oats were jumping. with wheat an'
corn. The gain for the day was 2a.c. TO
September. As in the other pits, new
did not count. the impetus coming en-
trely from corn. Cash oats were quotabl.
1IaM2c. higher than yesterday.
| Provisions--A firmer tone was exhibited
