Chicago, Sept. 1S.--Al grain and provis-
ion markets started weak and closed
strong to-day. The strength of wheat
was limited to the last thirty minutes

early decline, and as@kc besides. The
acton of corn and oats was similar, but
closing prices were at declines Of A03sc

were stronger than any of the grain mar
kets, closing at 71aQl71ac advance.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
