Chicago, Aug. 4-Befcre the wheat mar
ket opened to-day much anxiety was man
ifested to the effect likely to be produced
by the sensational failure of Moore Bros,
of the Diamond Match and New York
Biscuit fame, and prices on the curb drop
ped a cent from last nights closing. That
confidence was mistaken was shown by
the fact that buying orders were more
numerous than selling at the start, and
the recovery which took place was slow but
sure The board of trade people were
short Of the securities mentioned and
they would be benefited by any break
which might occur on them Trade in
grains did not develop any unusual feat
ures September wheat opened 57AM58e
advanced to 5Ss4c, closing at 5S9sc, shade
lower Cash wheat was lower early, but
later recovered loss, closing firm.
Corn-The opening on corn was weak
and lower, on the influence exerted by the
closing of the local stock exchange There
was nOLniDB HdHlChy osbVAN wv - aINB ilofF-
ever, and operators soon became conf
dent. September corn opened from 241ael
24ssc, advanced to 2j4ac, closing at 251sU
25Ac, nc higher than yesterday. Cash
corn was steady.
Oats displayed sentiments similar to that
prevailing in other markets there was not
heavy enough trade to ADMIT OF any dem
onstration of weakness or strength the
market showing a slow Indifferent action.
September closed unchanged from ycster-
day Cash oats were firm for old, but
now were weaker, almost unsaleable.
Provisions-The story of an anticipa ted
squeeze in September pork by Montreal
people had the effect Of arousng shorts to
a sense OF danger to-day and their pur-
chases, advanced prices for that comod-
ity quite sharply The strength was con-
tinuous and the session was punctuated
