Chicago, Aug. 21-Wheat kept the spec ula-
tors guessing to- day. If a trader got started
right he Jared we'll, but a bad beginning re-
suited in bad ending and generally unsat-
isfactory day all the way through. The range
was not an extraordinary one, but there was
plenty Of irregular action within the limits
The opening was weak and the close strong.
September wheat opened from 50 to 54Bc, de-
clined to 541s9S5i3Sc, advanced to55s5c closing
at 55H4555s-A4Sc higher than yesterday.
Cash wheat was IN moderate demand and
strong. Prices we're A8]sc higher than yes
terday.
Corn was firm to strong all day. The coun-
try trade is harder TO shake out than it was
assumed 20 be by the professional talent
The only recessions in prices to-day came
when the demand temporarily ceased. but
when the buying was resumed the crowd
found it difhcult to keep prices down. May
corn opened from 524c to sac, sold between
521lc and 5519c, closing at 53h653Ac-34c
higher than yesterday. Cash corn was strong
and &c to 1c higher than yesterday
Oats we're stong, chiefly through sympathy
with wheat and corn. September closed &c
higher than yesterday. Cash oats were
AQ1ac higher than yesterday.
Professionalism small run OF hogs at
tne yards the operators ana traders in pro
day, but we're forced to recede from their
position in the lace OF heavy offerings by the
packers, particularly the concern that took a
prominent part in yesterdays buying. The
close was sc lower than yesterday for Janu-
airy pork, 2iaQ5c higher for January lard and
unchanged for January ribs.
