Chicago, Aug. 13.-A recovery of a por-
tion of yesterdays loss in the wheat mar
ket was made to-day, not because the
trade had been converted TO bullish view
of the situation, but rather through per-
sistent covering of previous sales by shorts
At the start and during part of the first
half hour 1t looked as though there would
be repetition of the declining move
ment but gradual firmness came into
the market, and as no decided attempt
was made to force prices lower than
opened from 65Ac to 65Sc. advanced to
and closed at G6$t 065h c--16flsc higher than
yesterday. Cash wheat in the sample
Corn displayed a recuperatiVe tendency
to-day. The Indiana state report was rot
SO favorable IS was eXpe cted, and reports
of hot winds in other portions of the corn
belt were in circulation. These items Of
information doubtless conveyed strength
to prices, but the action of wheat shorts
who were covering their contracts, was
a factor of greater Importance. The mar
ket opened weak, but later improved, and
at the close a good recovery had been
achieved. September corn opened at 36lAc
sold between 36 and S8hc, closing at 3Sc-
1hc higher than yesterday. Cash corn
was steady prices averaging about the
same as yesterday.
fOats-The range was not as great s
yesterday. Prices OF oats per ton weight
are now running about the same as those
of hay, with perhaps some advantage IN
favor of the latter. This fact gives rise
To gossip as to the probable consump-
tive demand for oats during the coming
year. September oats closed &c higher
than yesterday. Cash oats were nc per
bnshel lower hut closed somewhat bet
ter.
Provisions-A generally lower market
for provisions was noted. Hogs were
again in a weak and demoralized condi-
ton, and product took inspiration from
that source. About the middle of the ses-
sion, under some buying to cover shorts
there were slight upturns, but before the
close prices were off again. A fair bust
ness was transacted. The close was 12izc
lower than yesterday for September pork,
sc lower for September lard and 12Jk lower
for September ribs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
