Chicago, Aug. S-Cntil near the close to-
day there was no intimation OF any good
here or at the seaboard. The opening
trading was at about steady figures a
l1ttie frmer feeling developing in a short
while, but as the day wore on, with out
side orders still conspicuous by their alb
sence and foreigners displaying uncon-
Germ. the market lost the little strength
II mad, and when the English visible SUP
ply was announced to have increased l.
100000 bushels last week. a positive slump
Tor about 12c took place. From that time
until the close there was a gradual recov-
cry and rise of 1c. September wheat
opened from 679sc to 679sQ67lkc, sold be-
tween 65q6S1sc and 6S3sc, closing at 67%Q
611sc-1sMAc higher than yesterday Cash
wheat ruled about PC lower, but closed
firm with the futures.
Corn-No change in the direction Of i'm
provement make the pace in to-day.
There was an easy feeling, the distant fu-
lures were not offered so freely as the
spot, owing to which fact they were held
fairly steady. September corn opened from
29Ac to 391sc, sold between 4OM407Ac and
closed at 391sc-34GBc under yesterday.
Cash corn was easy and 4c per bushel
lower.
Oats were in quite brisk demand to-
day. the inquiry evidently coming from
the short contingent. September oats
closed 1sc higher than yesterday In the
sample branch OF the market new oats
were weaker and nc bushel lower, whilst
old held steady.
Provisions-There was to-day, and has
been for a short time past, an influence
for the better at work in provisions, not
withstanding that hogs were lower this
morning and that wheat was exhibiting
a declining tendency, prices for product
kept on advancing slowly. The big pro-
fessionals C'shorts'O have been cover
ing freely, whether from a notion that
an advance will be engineered or whether
because of satisfaction with their profits,
is a difficult matter to determine but at
all events, their attitude has been produc-
tive Of an improvement in the tone OF the
each closed l5c higher to-day than yester-
day.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
