CHICAGO, August 18.-A decline al
Liverpool, lack of outside interest and
scattered liquidation caused further
recession IN the price of wheat to-
day, September closing %@7sc over
yesterday. Corn closed 5sc lower and
oats reduced. Provisions closed firm
September pork 15c, September lard
212c@5c and September ribs 171b020c
improved.
AT no time during the day were there
any number of traders who believed
that wheat was going to recover fol.
lowing the recent steady slump. Trade
was dull to a disheartening degree
Liverpool closed a4@7sd lower; there
was almost no outside business; re-
ceipts at western markets were again
very heavy, and the shipping demand
slack. Scattered liquidation, including
selling on stop-loss orders, was the
order of the day. For some time the
only buying was by scalping shorts who
covered to secure profits. September
opened 1b@Ac lower at 1925 to 723aC
and after few weary efforts to hold
its head up, subsidized to 715sc. 1t was
under 72c that most of the covering
by scalpers was done This resulted
in recovery to 721sc at which the
market closed, steady at a %0Bc loss
from the previous close. New York
reported 25 loads taken for export and
five loads were sold here Seaboard
clearances in wheat and -four were
equal to $4,000 bushels. At primary
western market receipts aggregated
100000 compared with 537 900 bush
els the corresponding day of last year
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 2S9
cars against PSI last week and 232 a
year ago. Local receipts were All cars
SIS of contract grade.
Corn felt the wheat weakness and
the stoppage of the shipping demand
