Chicago, Aug. 25.-On stronger Berlin
and Liverpool cables this morning wheat
in this market, opened with strength and
frmness. All the more Importance was
attached to the tone Of the foreign mar
kets referred to, from the fact that our
close of yesterday was quite the reverse
of that which they showed December
wheat opened from 6l1zc TO 633sc, de-
clined to 507sQ60c closing at GOAc, Ac
under yesterday. Cash wheat was weak
and 1z0alc lower.
Corn varied little If any, from the posi-
tion it has held for some days There
were reasonably a few fluctuations, but
they were not Of particular consequence
and denoted no material change in the
situation. The slight alterations In prices
were brought about through the medium
of wheat. Nearing the close, the effect of
was apparent in corn. May corn opened
at 261aGt265sc declined to 257s026c. closing
at 26c, 5sQ24c under yesterday. Cash corn
was weak and halac per bushel lower.
Oats-A quiet trade without significant
feature or important happening, was the
record for oats to-day. From lack Of in
dependent motive, the tone was more or
less the result Of sympathy with the
greater markets. May oats closed 5sc
under yesterday. Cash oats were weak
and &c lower
Provisions-The provision market was
almost a tame affair during the early por-
ton of the session, the trade having no
elements Of activity or interest. A frac-
tional advance over the last night close,
at the opening, was caused by a frmer
home market. but the later disposition
manifested was to sell. and under the
pressure q new record of low prices was
established. January pork closed 7lzQ10c
lower; lard, 10q12lsc lower, and ribs a
shade lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
