Chicago, Aug. 19.-The bulls came In for
another shaking up to-day II was not
that they had no news or statistical ns-
ures in their favor, but more by reason OF
the lack of confidence and the dread OF
the movement of new wheat, as II Is
hardly believed that the receipts at in
terror points will continue at their present
moderate volume for a great while longer.
Prices opened higher, but 1t was not DIFF
