Chicago. Aug 15.-The scalpers had yaria-
tions enough in the tone of the market and in
the movement Of prices in wheat to day to
give them sufficient opportunity to turn over
their profits or losses several times. II was
not broad market but there we're times
| when the volume of trade was extremely
| large, and others when absolutely nothing
was done. At the opening the crowd were ali
playing the bull side. hen there was
rush to sell, then rally with another break
and the market closed weak and fractionally
lower than yesterday. September wheat
opened from 554c to 56Ic, ranged between
5shc. and 55%c closing ]408c under, at
55ssc. Cash wheat was steady at unchanged
prices.
Corn-There was a high curb on corn before
the opening to-day and a sensationallv bull
m rket was generally looked for Nothing
OF the kind was seen, although for few min
utes at the beginning of the session, the
orders to buy were enormous The country
was leading, but the shorts were keeping
well up with it. After the orders in hand at
the start had been executed, the Gears per
ceived that they had no immediate cause for
apprehension and withdrew from the buying
side From that time until the close, there
was an irregular action. Nav corn opened
dJlc TO 542sc, sod etween 544c and 535sc
closing at 533s@5j2c, &c higher than yester-
day. Cash corn was firm. Prices renamed
unchanged.
Oats were in touch with corn all through
the day. The trade was light and lacked
feature. There was no news to influence
prices, and they were guided entirely by sym
pathy. September oats closed Nc higher
than yesterday. Cash oats were strong,
sales averaging nc higher than yesterday
Provisions-As long as corn held strong
there was no doubt in the minds of the trad
ers as to the proper course to pursue in
product, nor was there when corn declined
as both strength and weakness of the grain
we're promptly reflected In provisions The
hog market was strong at the start provis-
ions absorbing some Of the strength The
close was very weak, lard, however, preserv-
ing portion OF its early firmness. January
pork and January ribs each closed sc under
yesterday. January lard gained 2skc as the
net result of the days trade.
