Chicago, Aug. 1.-The wheat market was
again but side issue OF corn to-day. Before
the close there was squirt that was believed
to have been directly due TO report of Rus
sian interference i'll the Japanese Chinese
difficulty, but, 1nasmuch as corn was advanc-
ing quite as rapidly, 1t was Just as probable
that the true inwardness of strength was due
| to sympathy. Cables we're not considered IN
the action of trades to-day, and they were. at
D6SJ, OF an l0QlHefbnb character. september
wheat opened from 5SAc to 53hc sold be-
tween $50 and SIC, closing at 53Ac and $3.50;
%Q19c higher than yesterday. No particu-
lar change in prices for cash wheat was re-
corded
Corn was to-day, as it has been for some
time past, the leading speculative article on
the Board of Trade OF the floor. All the
strength in that grain is due directly TO the
dry weather throughout the west, and any
appearances of weakness generally come
from rains or showers aud prospects for
rasfa 4
a repetition of any Gay in the immediate past.
| To-day fair weather was predicted for Mn
nesota, the Dakotas. Nebraska ana Iowa.
| From the moment the forecast became gen
orally known till the close prices held in
! tensely strong. the close being at almost the
outside figures for the day. September corn
| opened 464c, sold up TO 4Sc closing at FAC,
net gain of 21a@39sc for the day. Cash corn
was very strong Sales were made on an
| average of lc over yesterday.
oats were up and down with corn princf-
| pally up, Nothing attaching to the trade was
| OF interest. and the business was compare
| lively light. The action was purely rehec-
! ton Of corn's movemen ts. September closed
| p OF cent higher than yesterday. Cash
| oats were without noteworthy change. The
| market was steady.
Provisions were narrow, dull, and feature
| less. Pork was little stronger than either
| lard or ril on account of a scarcity OF offer
| ings Very little business was transacted,
| the failure to decline being due 10 little
! strength in live hogs at the opening of that
market at the yards and to the further ad-
vance in corn. September pork closed l215c
| higher than yesterday. No change was made
| in quotations for September lard and ribs.
