Chicago, Aug 15.-The map showed no
frosts in spring wheat sections for last
night, and although wheat prices declined
yesterday, they settled still lower at the
opening to-day in the free TO material.
Some general information started a ru-
NOR half hour after the opening that the
weather bureau had issued special bull
letin, warning of the approach OF cold
wave in the northwest. Without waiting
to ascertain the truth of the report, the
crowd bought freely, causing sharp ad-
vance of over 1.c. Investigation proved
that no bulletin of the kind mentioned
had been sent out, and then on the selling
that took place a portion OF the advance
was lost During the last hour a talk of
q good cash demand for 7hipment saved
the market and helped prices up again.
September wheat opened at 65#c, sold be-
tween 653sc and 66Ac, closing at 663sc-1aG1
Ssc higher than yesterday. In the same
pie lot department prices averaged firm
without much change from yesterday
Corn closed firm to-day, the motive ap-
pearing to be derived from wheat The
early trading was devoid Of strength. buy
ers finding II difficult to muster courage
in the face of everything that has been
said of the fine crop and big yield. The
Cincinnati Price Current reported that
moisture was needed, but rain fell last
night Just where 1t was said to be needed.
The bogus frost predictions circulated this
morning extended some assistance to val
ues. but when the report was found 10 be
erroneous, they edged off for time final
ly rallying with those of wheat. Septem-
Der corn opened at 36Ac, sold. between that
and CSC Closing at S77Ec-5kc higher than
yesterday. Cash corn was firmer and 1c
per bushel higher.
Oats-The closing strength OF wheat and
corn gave a helping hand to oats. The
scarcity of either buying or selling or
ders throughout the morning permitted
prices to remain steady. The late i'm
provement was unaccOmpaied by much
activity. September oats closed 5sc higher
than yesterday A steady TO firm feeling
prevailed in the cash branch OF the mar
ket, and prices were quotably unchanged
to nc higher closing nominally stronger.
Provisions-Product was unusually and
surprisingly strong to-day. despite the fact
that there was further retrogr ession in hog
prices. The firmness of provisions was
considered but natural after the steady
decline that has been in progress. There
was buying on all accounts, shorts being
conspicuously active. At the opening ev-
erything except September pork was
slightly easier, but the weakness was only
temporary. September pork closed Csc
higher: Septennber lard lOc higher. and
September ribs 121Ac higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
