! inE receipts WeFss somewhat larger but
not enough 50 to bearfshly affect the
market. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported arrivals of 399 cars against 327
last week and $50 a year ago. Chi
cago receipts were 116 cars, % Of con-
tract grade Shorts were the best buy
ers at the opening northwest and out
side markets were weaker than this
and some pressure was put on the mar
ket by professionals and elevator peo-
pie for this reason which caused a tenn
porary decline. September opened
H@ssc higher at 7O7sc and declined
to 7O1zc.
December opened ss@hc higher at
72M@73c and eased off to 72ss 1sc.
The decline was stopped by the an
nouneement that the visible supply had
decreased 1,517,0OO bushels and the
slackening in the selling pressure COM
ing at a time when shorts were cover
ing, prices advanced again, September
getting to 7OB@71c and December
to 73c. These proved the high points
OF the day. A period Of comparative
inactivity followed but before noon the
market turned decidedly weak on the
reported arrival of 300 cars of new
wheat at Duluth and by much more IA
vorable threshing returns from the
northwest. Elevator people and pro-
Iesslonal bears were not slow to take
advantage of this, and pounded the
market persistently from then until
the end of the session. December fin
ally declined to 717sc and September
Zoe
There was a tendency on the part Of
shorts to cover at those figures and
slight rally occurred, but the general
feeling was weak to the close. The
seaboard reported large export bust
ness on the break, but the cash market
here was poor. Atlantic port clearanc-
es amounted to 26S,OOO bushels. Total
primary receipts were $4,000 bushels.
compared with 1,2S1,OOO bushels last
year. New York put the export en-
gagements at 20 loads. September
closed at 700701sc and December at
72c
81 Corn was weak for September, but
steady for December and Nav Tbara
was scattered liquidation for Septem-
Der all day, but most of the selling was
Gone by elevator firms, which was TAX
en- to indicate heavier country Offer
ings. Crop reports continued favora-
BILE. Receipts were 519 cars. Septem-
Der ranged from 3O7s @31c to 315s@
91Ac, and closed 5sc lower at Sic sell
lers. December closed 1sc lower at
2S15c.
The speculative market for oats was
almost at standstill The market was
a little easier, in sympathy with corn,
material changes in value. Offerings
were freer from the country and most
of the selling in the speculative market
came from the outside and from eleva-
tor people. The cash demand was
tame. Receipts were 519 cars. Sep
TENDER ranged from zoe to 201sc and
closed unchanged at 20@201sc.
The market for provisions was firm
but dull. Receipts of hogs were mod
crate and large decreases in stocks were
reported, particularly of ribs which led
the firmness in the speculative market.
Packers were good buyers of lard and
ribs. At the close September pork was
unchanged at $S.25. September lard
TIE higher at 1925, and September ribs
TIC higher at $500.

Wheat, ITO cars; corn, $40 cars; oats,
