Chicago, Sept. 4.-Tfe sentiment in wheat
to-day was quite the reverse of what
It was yesterday. Values yielded to sell
ing rather than to buying, lower quota
tions being established. Local operations
were the only ones of any volume, and
they were by no means excessive. One
professional scalped in moderate sized
quantities, but the average of the trans
actions were extremely light. December
wheat opened from 5SAc to 587sc. declined
| to 5SAc, closing at 58Aq58ssc-%4c under
| yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and va
| Nc lower.
Corn-Traders were unable to evolve
| from the situation anything in the shape
| of an argument for higher prices, and
finding wheat less strong than yesterday
were naturally induced to try the selling
| side, but only moderately, there being but
| few on hand to help the market. May
| corn opened at A9sc, sold at 24%c, declined
to and closed at 242sc-%9 5zc under yes.
| terday. Cash corn was easy and nc low
| err.
| Oats-The situation In corn, from bus
| mess standpoint, was reproduced in oats
| and the tone was likewise very similar
! The undertone was extremely weak, how
ever, oats traders expressing confidence
in the ultimate recovery OF prices.
ProVisions-Product pursued a down
ward course, disregarding steady hos
market in the adoption of tone and q
leaning rather to the influence coming
from grain. January pork closed 10c low
or; January lard 5Qt7lkc lower and Janu
airy ribs 21zQ5c lower
