Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Aug. So.-Wheat displayed more
steadiness at the opening than conditions
really warranted. Temperatures were reported
from the extreme Northwest low enough to
cause some apprehension of damage by frost
in minds of local traders. and this caused a
moderate amount of covering by shorts, re-
su!ting in a brief display of strength. Sep
tember opened shade higher at 70670lsc; De-
cember opened unchanged at 72c and advanced
10 72kc. 1t was evident, however, that in the
Northwest no fear of damage felt, the
markets in that section being comparatively
weak and the Weather Bureau report later
dispelled all fears by predicting warmer
weather. The inclination of bears to continue
pounding the market strengthened, and
under rather free selling by the professional
element prices slowly but surely sagged. The
inevitable dull period during the middle Of the
session found the market at its weakest, prices
being under puts. and even then receiving but
little support. December sold down to 7111c,
and September to 6ylec, around which prices
hung for some time. Around noon the market
frightened a little the reports of port
clearances 100000. and indications for good ex-
port business tomorrow, and later the market
became positively strong and advanced rapidly
when a sharp advance in grain to take
effect September is was announced. September
advanced to 10$s4 l01zc and closed at 70≻ De-
seniber advanced to 72l2g72asc and closed at
7212c.
Corn was irregular with a fair amount of
business. The market was weak for September
during the morning and continued liquidation.
Later buying started on complaints of dry
weather in some of the most important corn
producing States and the announcement of
an advance in grain rates. September closed
nc higher and December closed Ac to &c
higher.
Oats were slow but firm. September and De-
cember each closed 1sc to &c higher
Provisions were heavy and closed at slight
declines The market influenced early by
the grain weakness and did rally. The
shipping demand poor and Liverpool re-
ported declines. There scattered Septem-
Der liquidation all day. At the close Septem-
Der pork &c lower, lard 2I2c lower and ribs
a shade lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

There has been some difficulty of late in

so that now the tracks being full in the rail-

Ia held over in the Oakland yards. The re-
