Chicago, Aug 3.-The absence of Eng
fish cables-this being a holiday in that
country-had the effect of emphasizing
the dullness in the wheat market here to-
day. There was burst of activity dur
ing the last half hour, prices at that
time displaying quite a good deal of
strength September wheat opened from
5SA to 5834c, sold between So and 5S5sc, clos
ing at 5SAc bid-A of cent higher than
Saturday Cash wheat was irregular,
closing firm.
Corn was listless and dragging in its
action all through the session. September
corn opened from 248s to 24l4c, advanced
to 25c, closing at 247sQ25c-lklI5sc higher
than Saturday. Cash corn was quiet, and
about NC lower early, closing firm, rela-
lively with the futures.
Oats were impressed by the feeling in
other markets. Quite a little steadiness
was noted early, but when wheat gave
indications Of weakening, there was no
hesitation in oats prices, recovered furth-
er along IN the session likewise through
sympathy. September oats closed a shade
higher than yesterday. Cash oats We're
steady, old oats being a shade higher, but
being of inferior quality. brought less.
Provisions-Owing to the dullness rui-
ing in this market prices were saved
from violent fluctuations, but none the
less the tone was early very weak. For
a while, Immediately succeeding the open
ing, there was a pretense of steadiness,
but it soon disappeared, sagging pro-
cess setting in. When wheat was strong
towards the close, products sympathized,
recovering the previous loss. The hog
market was irregular September pork
closed nc higher; September lard SC high
