CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL. Augutt s.-Armour was
the big seller OF wheat at the opening
to-day As the advanc; was solely due
10 the strength In corn $50 therefore was
| the drop to-day a natural consequence OF
the slumpy condition Of that market.
The extraordinary conditions pr~Nahlng
in the trade set at naught the regular
influences, operators paying no attention
10 them, and making no EFFORT TO obtain
information bearing directly on the wheat
situation. The cables to-day were an

tailers. too. were selling. Those people

| cash corn felt that the sensational bulge
of yesterday was not likely 20 hold; hence
| they discreetly secured their gains. The
professional, however, was nOt0rl0usly

| gave evidence Of the uncertainty that pre-
I vailed. The range Was sssc. on SrptSH-
Der corn, and &C.. on May, and the close
