narrow range. The close was at shade
over yesterdays, Corn closed h9kc

Wheat started with degree OF stead
mess that wns somewhat surprising In
view az the half deserted pit, Liverpool
followed closely the decline OF the local
market yesterday, and both local and
northwest receipts were liberal to u
degree that under ordinary conditions
would have caused weakness, But
shorts showed tendency to get out OF
the market over the coming holidays,
and buying by that class Of traders sus-
taIned the market at first. September
opened shade over yesterdays clos
Ing price at 74M074kc. Prices changed
little for about half an hour, when sub
stantlnl support was given the market
by Shows crop report on the condition
OF the spring wehat. This was unfaVor-
able, putting the condition at under 80
per cent, and reporting good deal Of
damage from rust and excessive rains,
especially in Nebraska. AS spring wheat
prosperity had been one OF the leading
plauks In the PLATFORM Of wheat bears
for some time past, news Of this kind
caused noticeable increase IN the buy
ing, and for the only time during the
some degree Of activity. September ad-
Vanced to 741Sc, and held close to that
price as long us the buying lasted,
which, however, was not very long. Be-
fore noon the market had taken on the
dullnesS always shown prior to hOli-
days, and from that time until the close

weakness developed also on the contin-
ued heavy primary receipts, the total

500 cars, against 6G9 cars last week and
SO a year ago,

close had rallied to 7Ah@74kc, and
showed some steadiness ut that figure
Corn was fairly active. There was
continued liquidation in July, which
kept the price Of that option down while
September advanced slightly. shorts
showed tendency to get out OF Sep
