Chicago, Aug. 9.-Many of the deserters
from the wheat crowd were again in that
market to-day, corn not monopohzing the en-.
tire attention of the speculative element. AL
though there was more business in wheat and
less In corn, the former was, nevertheless,
taking its cue from the latter. The CinCin.
natl Price Current, In its summary, reminded
the trade that the situation was dependent to
a great extent on the corn condition, mas
much as wheat was being put to the uses tnat
corn was generally intended for September

tween 55Aic and 571sc, closing at 5615c-l5sc

stored, however. but prices held strong

| the government report had some influence in
| restricting business, most people preferring
| to wait its issuance before committing them
| selves to either side. The strength during
| the morning was made more emphatic by the
| predictions Of continued dry weather in Iowa
and Nebraska. September corn opened from
| 59c to SIC, sold down to 552lc, closing at 564c
| -lc higher. May closed 15sc higher than yes
terday. Cash corn was lc lower than yester-
| day.
Oats were strong but as usual the tone

Provisions were easy early and frmer dur
ing the latter portion Of the session. Pack

made itself felt in provisions before the close,
