Chicago, Aug. 16.-Wheat prices were
a little lower at times to-day, and the
others a little higher than yesterday, but,
all things considered, there was not a
great difference from that day. The trade
was barren Of feature, and there were
few incidents of even minor character
TO note. The local crowd set in to bun
the market early, urging that the strength
of yesterdays close warranted a further
advance. A slight gain was made, put
the SeaboaPd and the Northwest were
inclined to look at the situation in differ
ent light, sending selling orders enough
10 satisfy the local demand. The races
siOns came, but trade became dull, fair

governing the close. September wheat
