CHICAGO, Aug, 22.-Business was not
brisk in any OF the speculative markets
although an unsettled feeling caused a
good many rapid fluctuations. In grain
the final outcome OF the days trading was
decline OF q cent In wheat and =
cent in corn, with oats and provisions prac-
ticaliy unchanged.
Selling on the hard spots was response
bic for the decline, holders realizing at the
higher prices.
Wheat ruled fairly active, the range for
the day being tg9& cent. First trades
were at y cent decline at 80 cents for Sep
TENDER and sold of a fraction more, raj
lied 5Z@sl cent, eased off q cent, advanced
1z@L cent, became steady, changed and
closed at 54$I cents for September. The
market started out weak, Notwithstanding
the small receipts the lower cables
apparently having more influence, and
room traders sold quite freely for awhile.
The sentiment changed and prices sud
denly advanced on foreign news. The
weather was reported as again cold aud
rainy on the continent, and private cable
advices gave publish" official Russian
crop report, but without details. New

the turn here, aud was also something OF
factor. At the advance, there was quite
little selling aud prominent local concerns

the strength aud also rescled. The falling
off in local receipts no doubt causeG little
more outside buying. There was rather
free liquidation In September. sell

the premium widening about 37s cents.
Operators evidently overbOughC them

selling out the price receded TO about the
iusiae figure OF the day.
Corn ruled fairly active and fluctuations
covered B@l1s cents range. The feeling
was nervous and rather unsettled with
market sensitive and subject TO sudden
turns either way. The sentiment at the start
was little "bearish" and offerings were
quite liberal at the time, influenced by the
various weather and crop bull news, be-
ing NOR favorable than expected, and
also to the fact that the market closed
near the top yesterday aud some reaction
was anticipated today. Early offerings
were readily absorbed and few buying
orders coming on the market, checked the
decline with the early sellers, turned
buyers and found but very little
for sale. A firm tone then prevailed, but
the outside figures were not maintained, a
material reaction setting In and hEal
quot atoms showed loss fol- September OF
I@55 cent aud A@3s cent for May. There
was moderate Country buying and some
realizing for interior holders around out
side prices. Opening trades were at q 10
u cent loss at 80 cents for September, and

some, declined q cent, changed some aud

While there was no Independence what
ever in regard to the fluctuations of
the oats market, quite a good business
was transacted, and the market was active
during the greater part of the session.
Sep, ember opened at 30$l cents, sold off Ia
30@5 cents, up 10 81 cents, closing at 800
cents.
Provisions were firm without much &C
tivity. Very few orders were on the mar
keC from the outside and the packers
played solitaire. Armour 81 Co sold some
ribs for January. The Chicago Packing
company, who yesterday bought quite
freely of September ribs, were the most
liberal sellers today. The fuctuatIon in
pork followed the changes OF corn TO
moderate extent. Closing prices for Jan
ury are very little changed since yesUer-
day. Pork closed at S13 SIS. or % cents
higher and lard and ribs repeat yesterdays
final prices.
