Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE first thing to alb
sorb the attention OF wheat traders to-
day, after the opening this morning. was
the prediction of frosts for North and
South Dakota, Minnesota and Nebraska.
Prices had opened lower on fresh stories
of phenomenal yields of spring wheat, but
when the weather indication were issued,
the impulse was to buy and a rise of about
lc was accomplished before halt was
called. Then the question as to what. If
any, damage would result from a slight
freeze arose. and, as no definite theory
was forthcoming, those who had bought
proceeded to sell out and the gain was lost.
Bradstreets report Of a decrease of 1900
600 bushels in the worlds available stocks
mad pearlsh effect, although the figures
were close to what had been expected.
September wheat opened from 66l4c to
d54se, sold between 6llsc and 65ssc, closing
at G6n66lsc-Ac under yesterday Sample
lots were lower to agree with the futures.
Corn-When other conditions have ox-
ercised an influence on corn, the minds
of the traders in that grain revert to the
crop. Frost predictions this morning were
responsible for the firmness which char
acterized the early business in this mar
ket to-day. 1t was conceded that some in
jury might follow such an early freeze,
but when some advance had been made
and some Shorts" had covered, the feel
ing changed and prices began 10 move in
the opposite direction. The weakness
then ruling in wheat caused an adverse
influence and the knowledge that, even
with a loss of a portion of the crop, there
was still remaining an extraordinary pro-
duction. helped along the decline. Sep
TENDER corn opened at 3Sc, sold between
SS7sc and S74c, closing at the inside-25c
under Yesterday. Cash corn was nc high
er eariy' but closed weak and Win fhe
advance lost.
Oats-On the presumption that prices for
corn argued the same for oats, the talent
bought In preference to selling. When
the other grains elected to decline, oats
pursued a like course, but the trade was
so light that the extent of the range Of
prices for the day was but * of cent.
! September oats closed unchanged from
yesterday. Cash oats were steady.
Observation-Disclosures and the general run
but no demand. aside from that coming
from shorts" appeared. The hog mar
ket was IN worse state this morning
than on any day yet, and prices at the
tended no relief as everything dealt in
on the floor was in declining mood. The
business in provisions was not at all i'm
portant, however, and altogether the ses-
sion was without noteworthy feature.
Closing prices were 221zc lower for Sep
TENDER pork. 2lsc lower for September
lard and 1Oc lower for September ribs.
Domestic markets were quiet and easy,
and foreign were steady.
