In wheat the foreign markets gave
good start In an upward direction to
the price OF the article here. New York
had buying orders from abroad TO begin
the day with, and commission houses
here had also direct orders on the same
side OF the market both from the United
Kingdom and continent. Liverpool re-
ported an advance OF I'D per GENITAL and
Paris was said to show Il gain OF IL for
-four. st. Louis had more bulllsh
view Of the foreign situation than did
the traders here. to judge from the way
they inundated their Chicago brokers
with buying orders At the opening and
kept them up for the next half hour.
The local contingent was not slow to fol-
low the lead OF st. Louis and bought
freely for a time. but they were quick TO
take their profits when half cent ad-
vance had been recorded. Opening sales
OF September were made at 65hc, the

then slowly slid of to 65hc, While the
early strength In corn was q help 10
wheat al that time, the latter TOOK little
notice OF the weak spell that afflicted
corn temporarily In the middle Of the
day. It received the more telling sup
port of good foreign demand both for
shipment and for futures. New York
advised engagements for Au6ust-Sep-
TENDER export OF 30 boatloads The Ate
lantlc port clearances OF wheat and flour
were equal TO 100000 bushels. The CHI
cago receipts were i2 cars. Mlnneapo-
lis and Duluth reported the receipt of
1857 cars, compared with 81 week ago
and 43S on the corresponding day OF the
year before. The smaiiness Of the
northwest receipts was also strength
enlng factor. The market had n
strong up turn In the last hour on the
foreign buying reported at New York
and the sharp advance In corn. Sep
tember shot up to 66lsc under the buy
Ing which ensued and closed firm at GG3s
G66isc.
Corn again was the leading market on
the floor. a heavy business being trans
the morning news but the realizing
which took place was not so great a.
expected. The market was quite evenly
balanced up to the last half hour with
realizing at the top. and buying at the
declines equally conspicuous. Late In
the session material Increase in out
side orders sent prices up In hurry.
September opened about &c lower nj
27I d27iac sold at 27hc up to 2ffsC, back
to 26Mc, then Jumped to 2T3sW2Sc, where
Il closed. Local receipts were 600 cars.
In oats, the only feature TO the market
was an increase in outside speculation.
The market showed no particular iEdc.
pendence. simply following the lead Of
corn. but there was not enough business
to cause fluctuations Of note. Local re-
celpts amounted 10 4j9 cars. September
opened unchanged at 1SbdlSAc. de-
clincd to l77sc and rallied TO lSAc, where
II closed.
In provisions, there was a disposition
ta sell by the people who have lately
given the market It's best support The
opening was easy on liberal hog receipts
and under free packers offerings prices
slowly slid on. Part OF the decline was
recovered later as corn made Its final
rally. AZ the close September pork was
about unchanged at 81 77h. September
