Chicago. Aug 29.-Liverpool prices for
wheat were not as sensible Of the news
sent from there yesterday nor of the adj
vance which the news caused in our mar
ket. as traders expected, and for that
reason the people who bought here and
who were contentedly awaiting the ad-
vance which they argued must come. had
wheat for sale a the opening, and, for
that matter. all day, whilst no inquiry
was apparent Under these circumstances
the logical result was a decline in prices
and a weak market. December wheat
opened from 60lzc to 602sc, sold between
6O5sQ6034c and 60c, closing at 601sc-ssds4c
under yesterday. Cash wheat was steady
but closed at about &c decline
Corn evinced no marked inclination to
either advance or decline but eventually
settled back in sympathy with the wheat
market. Trading was light and unim-
portant. May corn opened at 2594c, sold
at 2512c, closed at 255sc-1sc under yester-
day. Cash corn was dull and steady
oats were stubbornly dull. Notwith-
standing the weakness of wheat and the
acquiescence Of corn in that feeling, oats
maintained that hardened tone and ex-
hibited only Indifferent susceptibility to
the declining tendency of their surround
ings. May oats closed a shade under yes
terday. Cash oats were quiet and steady
Provisions were somewhat irregular, but
displayed quite a fair measure of steadi-
ness. The hog market was stronger
which was one reason for the good tone
but the covering of sales made earlier in
the week was the more potent influence.
At the close January pork was 21zc lower;
January lard shade higher, and January
ribs shade lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing
