Chicago. Aug. H.-Had II not been for the
timely aid extended by corn, 1t is more
than probable that wheat would have far
ed badly to-day. AS 1t was. there was moth
ing to congratulate the bull side, prices
f1uctuating at a lower range than yester-
day S close throughout the entire session.
Beginning there. the tone at the opening
and for short while thereafter, was
weak and holders were debating in their
minds the advisability of selling out when
the corn market came into prominence, by
reason of its strength, and, through that
medium, wheat steadied and later recov-
cred most of the days early depreciation.
Bradstreet'S reported the exports from
both coasts for the week at 1,S2400O bush
els. This was a little better than last week
but nevertheless small, by comparison with
the corresponding week in former years.
wheat comes from the northwest. 1t is
stated that only about rs per cent passes
contract, whilst like amount Is rejected
daily on account of the smut and other de-
fects. September wheat opened from 657k to
66c, sold between 6544 and 663sc, closing at
66Ac-ls0Ac under yesterday. Cash wheat
was about steady to a shade lower.
Corn manifested marked strength and
prices rose very materially, net gain of
2 fGi! cent being established at che close,
the outside having been one-half a cent.
above that The continued feeling of APP
prehenston among shorts that the Septem-
Der might receive twisting was one rea-
son for the upturn. The heavy arrivals
which have been noted of late are very
nearly, If not quite, Offset by the good out
ward movement. The cash demand has
been good recently and the difficulty in
obtaining vessel room presents the great
est obstacles to a freer shipping business
In the distant futures to-days buying was
evidently inspired by the reports of hot
winds in portions Of the corn belt al
though the impression prevails that no Sc
rious harm has as yet resulted from that
cause. September corn opened at SS4c, adj
vanced to 1880, closing at 3S7sc, one cent
higher than yesterday. Sample lots were
firm and one cent higher.
Oats-It was quite proper for oats to de-
rive benefit from corn and they did The
buyers in corn were noticeably acting in
similar manner in oats. The September
shorts were covering and although this
interest has been reduced considerable
during the recent past, il has been never
theless known that much more will have
10 be bought before ii is entirely elimi-
mated. September oats closed 1z6D3sc higher
than yesterday Cash oats were 1ac higher
Provistons-The usual Saturday indiffer-
ence was present in the product market to-
day. Before the call, there was some trad
ing, but after that time a quiet market
was seen. The opening was easy, a weak
feeling being communicated by the hog
market, but the strength of corn threw a
little Improvement into the tone. The close
was. unchanged from yesterday for Sep
TENDER pork, and 2lsc higher for Septen-
Der lard, and September ribs. Domestic and
foreign markets quiet. steady.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
