Jhicago, Aug l6.-There was no pretense
for an advance in wheat today, so It declined.
There was only common place trade with
the support coming mainly from the holders
OF puts The only other buying which at
tracted attention was by j. c. Schwarz who
was succe Sstul in his bull campaigns in corn
and oats, whereas, the selling was distributed
among all classes of traders. Partridge sold,
SO did Armour. The scalpers were playing
the short side, whilst receivers and elevator
men were hedging" against purchases Of
cash wheat made In the country. Acceptances
! OF blds at country points were greater than

confidence in the situation. September
wheat opened from 551sc to SAC, declined to

sold between 531a aud 52l5c, closing at 523t61

white corn. Prices were nc lower than yes
terday.
The oats market sympathized in some de-
| gree with wheat and corn, but at the same
time was prevented from suffering a decline,
in full accord with those grains. by the large
Withdrawals from the store of new oats.
These out-inspectons have been quite free of
late and are beginning to attract attention to
the benefit Of values. September oats closed
&c under yesterday Cash oats were firm
early but later ruled easier.
AS in grain there was also a decline in pro
visions. The hog market was lower and the
