Chicago, Aug. 19.-The wheat market
was higher to-day, variety OF reasons be-
ing cited for the improved tone and ad-
| vanced prices. There were orders to buy,
both here and in New York at the open
ing, which imbued the trade with a meas
ure OF confidence and influenced purchases.
September wheat opened from 55lk to 55D
591sc' advanced to 555sc, closing at 55MG
o5Ac-l2c over yesterday. Cash wheat was
firm and re per bushel higher.
Corn-Business in corn was slow as COM
pared with that Of wheat and oats. Com
| missioners were buyers and close, but
lacked nerve and confidence, and in con-
! sequence, the market was dull The prices
were regulated by the prevailing tendency
| Of wheat. May corn opened at 2G34c adj
vanced to Hhc, closing at 27lsc bid-AaMc
| higher than yesterday Cash corn was
/ firm and &c per bushel higher
|
| all through the session, the demand being
| principally from shorts who displayed no
little uneasiness. There was naturally con-
| siderable buying for investment, the belief
in higher prices claiming notice. Septem-
| Der was changed into May by a number
of people. May oats closed Ad3sc higher
| than yesterday. Cash oats were very
| firm, an advance of 4c per bushel being
/ obtained in some instances.
Provisions-The reports from the yards
as regarded the hog market was not so
rosy this morning, and provision traders
were unfavorably impressed thereby. The
run of hogs was heavy and prices were off
| 5Ql0c, the logical result Of which was
| a decline in product. Before the close, a
moderate recovery, on covering by shorts
| took place. January pork closed I'M
changed, January lard 21zd5c lower, and
| January ribs &c lower
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest.C Closing.
