Chicago, Aug. 1.-The sentiment and
feeling among wheat traders was bullish
this morning, and until half an hour of
the close the tendency Of prices was to
rise. The bulls felt confident of accom-
plishing something in the way of an ad-
vance, but developments proved that they
were unable 10 hold even their own. The
fact that English markets were celebra-
ting holiday had the effect of render
ing the Saturday dizziness more than us
uahy pronounced. Last nights rains
were put forth as an argument for
weather for the next thirty-six hours
nullitied that argument. September
wheat opened from 591sc to 5S7sc, sold
at $3.50 declined TO and closed at 5S15c,
Sc under yesterday. Cash wheat was
easy closing about l9c under yesterday.
Corn achieved no notoriety to-day. 1t
simply followed wheat, and apparently
disregarded all other information. Sep
sold at 245sc, declined TO and closed at
24ssc, Ac under yesterday. Cash corn was
easy and l4c lower.
Oats were frmer. The strength was
purely sympathetic, and business expert
enced but ordinary characteristics. Sep
TENDER oats closed unchanged from yes
terday. Cash oats were steady.
Observation-Disclosures lighter than expect
ed run of hogs was instrumental in
strengthening the tone of provisions, al
though the feeling at the yards was I'M
settled and irregular. Business could
have been better than it was, all round
complaint at dullness being general. Sep
tember pork closed 7lac higher than yes
terday. Lard, 2lsc higher, and September
ribs &c higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest Lowest. Closing.
Wheat
