Chacigo, Aug 31.-The tone of the wheat
market to-day averaged less than steady
and prices ruled lower than Saturday.
The business was deficient in life and ac-
tivity and after the early trading was
over the pit settled into a dull and list
less condition. December wheat opened
from 601sd6Oc. sold between 6O1sc and 591zc.
closing at 59Ac, &c under Saturday. The
cash market was easy
Corn obediently followed the direction
of wheat, the interest in the market and
the volume of trade not justifying an exer-
else of independence of sentiment May
corn opened at 251zc, declined to 25bq25hc.
closing at 25Ac-3sc under Saturday. Cash
corn was steady at Saturdays prices.
Oats were comparatively steady, al
though not entirely disregarding the in-
huence of weakness of wheat and corn.
Trading was not of importance and con-
sisted principally of local transactions.
May oats closed &c lower than Saturday.
Cash oats were generally steady.
Provisions eased away a little, the ac-
ton of the grain markets, combined with
the detrimental effect Of a weak and de-
Ginning hog market not tending to invig-
crate or encourage holders or buyers.
January pork closed SC lower than SAT-
urday. January lard 2lz@5c lower and
January ribs a shade lower
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
