FUTURES.
GRAIN.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Wheat showed
signs of weakness at the start and
sustained q 1-2c set back early in the
session in sympathy with the indif-
ference toward the Liverpool open
ing, but the old clique were quick in
coming to the rescue, not only effect
ually checking the decline for the
time being, but advancing the price
q full cent from the low point. W.
W. West and the local bull crowd
were the privileged buyers. Cash
wheat was in good demand by millere
in the spring wheat territory, which
would appear to confirm the recent
bad reports of the outcome of that
crop.
There was, however, little il any
thing in the foreign situation to en-
courage buying of wheat. The ex-
port demand was small and satisfied
early in the day and Liverpool closed
unchanged from yesterdays final
figures. This and the unsettled crop
condition on this side resulted in
considerable covering after the noon
hour and a consequent rescission
to about its former low price. There
are again signs of diminishing re-
ceipts, but as yet the falling of has
not been so great as to cause alarm,
but should receipts become materi-
ally smaller it is now feared prices
would be much higher. We advise
take the long side on all dips.

CORN.
Liverpool opened lad higher and
closed the same as yesterday. Asin
wheat, buyers became numerous on
the weak opening. Many shorts who
sold on yesterday covered. The bull
crowd took on new lots and rode up
with it.
There was nothing to justify such
q radical change. The foreign de-
mands were anything but good and
their bids were below q working ba-
sis, naturally resulting in a scramble
of longs to get out and the inevita-
able break which such conditions
usually bring with them. The price
suffered lac decline near the close,
