CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL. August 1s.-There was
no pretence for an advance In wheat to-
day, SO ii declined. There was only
commonplace trade, the support coming
mainly from the holders OF puts" The
only other buying which attracted atten-
ton was by J. G. Schwarz. who was sue
cessful in his bull campaigns In corn and
oats. whereas, the selling was distributed
among all classes OF traders. Partridge
sold; so did Armour. The scaipers were
playing the short side, whilst receivers
and elevator-men were hedging" against
purchases OF cash wheat made IN the
country Acceptances OF bids at country
points were greater than for some days
past. which fact indicates less confidence
in the situation.
September wheat opened at from 55's to
5iIsc., declined to 5isa5ils.. rallied frac-
ton and closed at Hc.-14lAec. under yes
terday. Cash wheat was in good demand,
elevator people buying. shippers bought
No. red al 2i2c. under September. Prices
averaged lc. lower than yesterday
Corn-The usual batch of buying orders
in corn was conspicuously absent at the
opening Of the market to-day. The coun-
try had evidently reached Its limit, and
was not willing TO run any further risk
by loading up AZ the high prices. only
to sell at n possible loss. There was
marked falling off In interest among the
local trade. too II was hard TO say what
exerted the leading influence, but the
prevalence OF rain In parts OF the corn
belt was as important as anything else
During the day there was big Inc
bought during the furry OF last Week
that reached It's stop-loss limit. ana con-
thing but encouraging to the trade. de-
tracing from the chances or ACTIVITY;
May corn opened at from 50 to 5g!.sc.. sold
between 53ls and 52,sc.. and closed al
zoe. 49,, exc. under yesterday. In the
cash market shippers we're good buyers
of yellow and white corn. Prices were
nc. lower than yesterday.
The oats market sympathi3ed In some
degree with wheat and corn, but a the
same time was prevented from suffering
decline, I'm full accord with those grains,
by the large Withdrawals from store OF
new oats.
These out inspections have been quite
free of late. and are beginning to attract
attention, to the benefit or values. sep
TENDER oats closed &c. under yesterday;
Cash oats were firm early, but later ruled
easier.
As In grain. there was decline In pro,
visions. The hog market was lower, and
the quality OF the live animals was very
| important matter. This was the primary
cause for the weakness In the market
