CHICAGo-Higher cables, good ex-
port engagements and rains in the
northwest gave 4 firm tone to small
wheat market to-day. September closed
at an advance of S@%c. Corn was
helped by continued hot weather, and
closed &c higher. Provisions declined
little for pork and lard, ribs closing
unchanged.
Wheat started with n material ad-
vance. September at 76B@i6%c, as
compared with yesterdays closing price
OF I5Ssc. Liverpool quotations, always
an important factor In this market,
showed an unexpected advance of $50
I'D, and this strength was reflected in
the opening price. There was a mod
crate buying demand from local shorts
at the start, but the advance did not
result In any pronounced increase In the
volume of trading, and after the first
few minutes prices dropped little I'M
der realizing and selling by prominent
commission houses For most OF the
forenoon. in fact. the tendency was to-
ward lower prices, traders apparently
seeing no profit in wheat at 76c, and
over, and on one or two occasions, the
September price was forced down to
15Hc. Most OF this selling was in the
nature Of realizing by traders. who had
bought earlier in the week, but 1t was
never heavy enough co cause real weak
ness. The market, in fact, was for
the most part exceptionally dull. Late
In the session q tlrmer tone was devel-
oped when reports showed that another

IS loads.
Corn wns very dull. but strong and
higher. The continued hot dry weather
west, and the conviction that unless
rain came, heavy damage will result,
was the main factor In the strength. a
prominent trader who has been through
Nebraska was very pesslmistic in his
Views, and was moderate buyer all
day. Business was largely local. Re-
ceipts were l67 cars. September ranged
from 3sc to 3sSG3S%c, and closed sc
higher at 3SaSc
Oats were quiet but firm, the market
being influenced by the strength OF
