CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. August 22.-Wheat spurted
near the end OF the session to-day, and in
the few minutes Of the furry a distinct
gain OF 1 cent over the previously ruling
check TO rising values seemed TO be the
closing tap OF tho bell, and on the curb
after official trading was over q further
gain was recorded. The signal for the
advance was the posting OF the Berlin
cables quoting a 3-to-3lac. rise over yes
terday. When these figures were seen the
shorts appeared TO have but ore object
IN life, and that was TO buy back the
wheat they had previously sold. People
who sold calls last night did not relish
fha flfq of going short Cfrrn "A Violently
agitated marklt, and Joined I'm the
clamorous BUYING. The early hours OF the
session were also distinguished for much
firmness. December wheat opened al from
81 Csc, and closed at 81 l-406l 3-8c.--2li
1-sc. higher than yesterday. Cash wheat
was 1 cent higher, closing with noml-
ral advance, corresponding With that or
the futures.
Corn aid not depart from It's traditional
state OF inactivity and features were
entirely absent from the trade. The only
influence on prices was derived from the
tone OF wheat, and, as that was strong
corn advanced, though slightly. May corn
opened at from 20 l-s - DC, sold az z5-.c.,
and closed az IS l-5Q-lc.-a shade higher
than Yesterday. Cash corn was steady.
oats relied exclusively on other grains
for direction. The trading was restricted
to very narrow limits, probably more
from the usual haf-holiday indlsposition
20 DO business than from any other cause
May closed q shade higher than yester-
day. Cash oats were weak, sample
traders reporting the greatest difficulty
IN Erecting sales, and quoting prices from
IA 10 &c. under yesterday. Tho normal
close was strengthened somewhat by the
action OF the wheat market. Provisions
were slightly reduced IN price. through
the detrimental effect OF weaker hog
market. The trading was fairly active
but Internationally local. The packers
were on both sides OF the market 10 q
limited extent, but professionals took only
lukewarm interest. January pork closed
2i5c. higher; January lard and ribs IN
changed.
