CHICAGO. ILL, August l7.--Most OF
to-days loss IN wheat prices came right
before the close, and appeared TO be the
result of selling induced by the early
news, rather than from anything that
was received later. There was very
light business, the unanimous opinion
being that this was the dulest day In all
grains I'm two weeks. September wheat
opened at from 54h to 54asc. sold between
5i9,a54A and Sac. and closed at 54fsc.-asH
lzc. under yesterday. Cash wheat was
steady early but later ruled easy. Prices
were nc. lower than yesterday.
Corn-Coniidence In the ruling high
prices for corn Is continually waning.
Long property was coming on the market
freely all through to-days session. TWO
large commissiOn-houses that were profni-
nent buyers when the big bulge was on
were liqudating to-day. Some or this
corn was assumed TO belong TO country
clients. whilst the name or local pro-
fessional who was the central hgure In a
wheat deal about two years ago was also
associated with a portion OF the selling.
The talent became extremely bearish Just
before the close, and sold literally, prices
going to the low point OF the day. May
corn opened at 5214c., sold between 5z's
and SIC. and closed at the boftom--ttn sc.
under yesterday. Cash corn was yale.
per bushel lower.
The oats market was dull and devoid OF
feature. The inactivity was 80 pronounced
that, Notwithstanding the fact that wheat
and corn seemed to be directing the move
ment of prices. they did not act fully In
accord with those grains September
closed &C under yesterday. Cash oats
closed weak and lzc. per bushel lower.
Provisions-Continued Improvement In
the quality OF. the hogs which are being
received at the yards, good receipts OF
them, and the failure OF corn 10 keep on
advancing takes away all the bull notices
from provisions. The offerings were free
to-day. Packers and commission houses
both INDUCED I'm the selling, but only
BUYERS were Shorts" and they were not
at all anxious, inasmuch as the market
was going their way. The close was 2c.
lower than yesterday for January pork;
and 7lk@loc. Nwer for January 'ard ana
January ribs,
The leading futures ranged as follows:
