CHICAGO. ILL. August lO.-The grain
markets looked more natural to-day than
they have on any day this week. There
vas total absence Of the uneasy feeling
and nervous action that characterized
them early In the week. and which had
not fully disappeared yesterday. Some
interest was taken In wheat on its own
merits Mr. Partridge covered freely, and
gossip had II that he had not made any
profits, as most OF his sales were made
= and g.. below the present range.
The opening was strong under the In
nuence of early buying on the curb for
some one whose name could not be
learned, but which. II was generally as
sumed was for Partridge also, Later
there was not 50 much strength In IN"
market owing. no doubt. 10 the weakness
which had developed In corn. September
wheat opened at from 81 to Joi4c.. sold
down 10 j6c., and closed at 55i4c-hc
under yesterday. Cash wheat was in
good demand. prices averaging Z 10 &c.
per bushel lower.
Corn-The traders In corn rad not so
much to worry them to-day. There was
more uniformity in prices. and less ex-
element in the pit After the weather
map was consulted however. there was
some recovery. as the corn belt was still
without rain. The trade became be-
widered later in the day, when the local
observer aud the Washington Bureau sent
conflicting Indications for some OF the
States. The former gave showers for
Illinois Minnesota, and Iowa, and the
latter sent "A direct contradiction or that
forecast The indecisiOn OF traders re-
suited in less activity. but on the belief
that the time for "A reaction. II only
a temporary one, had come. there was
moderate decline under some selling.
The government report which was due
to-day, constituted another unknown
quantity, and spectators felt inclined 70
wait until II had become public before
doing ANYTHING In the market MAY corn
opened at ode. sold between SO. and 52Alc.,
and closed 3.Hfsc under yesterday, at
53i4 G535.c.; September closed lc under
yesterday. Cash corn was 1sc. per bushel
lower.
OF interest in the trade The weakness
was due % the similar feeling In corn,
only "A light business, however, being
transacted Cash oats were kUlc. lower.
PrOyisions-The country, which has
made such a killing In corn during the
past couple OF weeks, has turned its at
tention to product, and was buying the
entire list to-day. preferring the January
delivery to everything. The basis OF their
theory OF better values for provisions Is
the short corn crop. which II nothing
goes wrong with the present position
OF that crop, as now generally understood.

hogs, and In the regular course OF affairs
add 10 the price OF pork, lard, and ribs.
The close was S2l2c. higher for January
pork. ljc higher for January lard. and
i2iac higher ior January ribs. The cash
demand was better. and considerable bust
ness was transacted.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
