Chicago, Aug. 28.-There was no sign
of Improvement in the condition of the
wheat market this morning. If anything
the weakness was more pronounced than
ever. Opening prices were at % to re
at the decline, and prices held steady. De-
cember was fast becoming the
favorite trading month. A fair
export business at New York,
improved prices somewhat and the close
was fairly steady at a shade under the
opened at Soc, sold between. eOc and 59lbc.
closing at 597sc-1kM5sc under yesterday.
Cash wheat was easy and nc lower.
Corn-There was an easier feeling in
corn early on the failure Of the frosts
predicted for last night to materialize,
and in sympathy with the weakness In
wheat. May corn was weak early and
about 1c under yesterdays close on heavy
selling by, commission houses. Septem-
Der became steady at the decline on the
frost predictions for tonight. Free COW
ering of May by local shorts and the light
estimated receipts for tomorrow, 275 cars,
helped prices some, but the market was
dull and narrow to the close. May is
fast becoming the active option in corn.
September corn opened at 351zc, sold be-
tween 353td357sc and 351zc, closing at 353sc-
h1Ac under yesterday. Cash corn was
easy and NC per bushel lower.
Oats-Dull market, responding to the
weak feeling in wheat ands corn. There
was good buying of May by shorts. The
market held steady on a fair business
for cash oats. September closed &c under
yesterday Cash oats were steady
Provisions were easy early, In sympathy
with the weak feeling in grain, and lower
prices for hogs. Pork weakened on good
selling by the packers and liberal real
izing by longs. Lard was steady and ribs
easy. Business was light, consisting main
ly of changing from the September to the
October and the January options. At the
close September pork was 30c under yes
terday, September lard 2jaQ5c lower and
September ribs 12ikc under yesterday
Domestic markets were quiet and easier
