Chicago Aug 2}.-The same difficulty with
cables that gave rise to complaint Yesterday
occurred again today, and wheat spectators
were at loss as to the best course o pursue.
Irregularity and conflict were the strongest
characteristics OF the European advices. The
market as whole, was narrow one, trade
at times being absolutely lifelesS. After the
strong opening, there were heavy sales of
September wheat. presumably for Armour,
which pressed the market down. The close
was at the inside figures. December wheat
opened from 5Shc to 594c, declined to 57%D
| 5sc, closing at 5S1sD5S4c under yesterday.
| Cash wheat, prices were unchanged.
The weakness in wheat overcame the better
| influences in corn and brought about a de-
| cline from yesterday S close of 1910. There
was very little new buying during the ses-
| sion, which tended to destroy confidence
The pit was given over to scalpers most of
| the day and even they found little to do at
times. May corn opened 532s to 53lsc, de-
! cttned TO 52bc, and closed at b2hc-9s@Rc
under yesterday. Cash wheat closed easy;
| the early trade was steady but no particular
change in prices took place.
The price of oats held up amazingly we'll
in the face of the declines in wheat and corn
Oats are being bought for shipment back to
the country, and the daily output at this
place continues good. May oats closed I'M
| changed from yesterday. Cash oats were IN
changed, prices holding steady.
Provisions.-The strength OF the hog mar
ket at the yards and the light receipts at
that place eXerted a good Influence on pro-
duct to-day. After the early buyers had OBJ
tanned all the stuff they wanted, prices
sagged somewhat, but Armour began to buy
shortly before the close. his purchases put
ting new life into the market. The close was
15c higher than yesterday for January pork.
nc higher for January lard and 5G7@c
higher for January ribs.
Leading fuCures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
