CHICAGO, August 1S.-The crop damage
scare largely collapsed to-day, ana corn,
which week ago was so eXctngly buoy
ant that il was able to lift not only Itself,
but every other market on the floor, was
heavy as lead. and closed at loss since
Yesterday of lc per bushel. Wheat joined
the funeral march of corn only to the ex-
tent Of &c per bushel, provisions following
the Droce Ssiou reluctantly, closing at
moderate decline. In wheat there was
light speculative business, the range Tor
the day being limited TO ssa15c. The feel-
ing was easier. The market, however, soon
sympathized with the decline in corn ana
lower prices followed. The corn market
was weak and the demand very light. Inc
opening was ct from 52hSc to 521lc, and 1t
closed at 5lS5c. Trading in oats, while in
active at times during the session, amount
ed in all 10 very good days business.
Provisions opened higher on light live nog
receipts, but under increased offerings
soon sold down, some steadiLess being de-
yeloped near the close on moderate buying,
and a slight reaction followed. Compared
with last nights figures, January pork is
zoe lower, January lard DC lower ana Janu-
arv ribs l0c lower. Flour steady. Wheat,
