Chicago Change.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 4.-The liquidation of
September wheat, which took place on
Wednesday and Thursday, about eliminated
that character of trading from the wheat
market for the present, and today the ac-
ton was quiet and uninteresting. A local
professional bought a moderate quantity
early, the crowd failing ON, but when the
matter of selling out towards the close
arose the instability of the demand was
demonstrated and decline of 12c occurred.
September wheat opened at 554555sc, sold
between 55l2M 552sc and Sac, closing Aa%c
under yesterday. Csah wheat was steady.
Corn-The interest in corn was moderate.
There was no decided bear feeling, although
the prospects of an advance were conceded
TO be rather indefinite. May corn opened at
&c, sold between N@271s and 26s4c, closing
at the inside, hc under yesterday. Cash
corn was firm, prices ruling about the same
as yesterday.
Oats We're firm. The cash demand for old
oats and the scarcity of that article with
the continuation of reports of detriment to
the crop. all contributed to the improved
Feeling. May oats closed 1sc higher than
yesterday Cash oats were Nc higher lor
new and i9c higher for old.
Professionalism late in the session pro-
ducts exhibited strength, which was in due
consideration of the fact that the hog mar
ket had advanced 5@l0c. The trading did
not show a correspondingly improvement,
however, and but scant interest was shown
in the market. Prices eased off later with
Wheat. January pork closed &c lower, jan
uary lard unchanged and January ribs 2l2c
lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
