HOT WINDS IN KANSAS

! Chicago, Aug 5.-Grain markets today
were influenced by weather cond tons,
both as regards tone and amount Of bus
mess. The weather locally was hot for
the traders, but wet weather in England
h9lped to give the market a firm tone
September closing at q to re advance.
( Hot winds in Kansas resulted IN an id
vance Of sc in corn. Oats closed 3 TO
I 1=c higher, and provisions unchanged 10
sc higher.
/ Offerings Of wheat az the opening OF
/ that market were very light and the
presence OF buying orders in mo1er4 te
numbers suTlced to give the market a
! fairly firm tone There were no LIVER
pool quotations, the English market 5e-
ing closed on account Of the holidays,
and local traders were somewhat uncer-
tain as to their course at first mi iai
trading in September was al T5d751sc, a
shade advance over Saturdays closing,
and a further advance TO Use took place
within few minutes. Local hears, en-
couraged by the heavy receipts at all
primary points, then attempted 70 force
prices down In the absence Of any ma
tertal support. and their offerings did re-
suit in q reduction Of &c But a the
decline fair-siz=d buying orders were re
ceived from New York and the norrhw5 -
and soon as the local offerings were
withdrawn the price Immediately reacted
again 20 T52sc. After Il O'Clock the mar
ket for the most part was excessively
dull. The weather was too hot FOR he
traders to take much interest in trad
ing and the result was that prices kept
within a narrow range. A mild renewal
OF the selling pressure sent the Sepcem-
Der price 70 1850 on one or Two Occa-
sions, but the declines always brought
moderate support and consequent recov-
cry in prices Toward the close Of the
session, the local crowd, which was eV.-
IDENTITY short, at mpted 70 cover, but
found little wheat for sale and the mar
kst became quite strong, September ad-
vanctng from 75c, around which point L
had held for some tiUe/ to 155s 10 75i2c.
Clon@iderable buying was caused by the
reports Of incessant rains n Eng and
and the consequent interruption Of har-
vestins operations, and also by the
strength developed by corn. Northwest
receipts were 393 cars, against 260 last
week and 274 year ago. Chicago "a
cetpts were 211 cars, I9 Of eoutrac-
grade. Total primary receipts were =
$500 bushels. compared with 756 600
bushels a year ago. Atlantic port clear
ances OF wheat and -four amounted 70
AZ. 600 bushels.
Corn enjoyed q brief interval Of pros
perity around the opening. Reports o.
extensive damage in the southwest BY
hot winds caused quite a scramble for
corn at first. and prices shot up vary
quickly. The buying for some time Was
quite general. but the demand was grad
ually satisfied and during the latter part
Of the session the market was fully as
duh as wheat. Country acceptauces were
Hight and shipments much exceeded re-
ceipts. Receipts were 2S7 cars. Septen-
Der ranged from PA 10 CSC, and c--sed
&c higher at 3724c
Oats were very dull during most OF the
session. The tone, however, was firm,
the traders being Influenced BY the
strength in corn, and an early advance
was well maintained. There was n l.
erately good outside buying II times.
Receipts were As cars. September
ranged from 21H to 217sc, and closed g
TO re higher al I] TO 1Ac.
Provisions were dull al day. Lower
hog prices and fears Of further We low
fever developments made buyers 1jmid a
first. and opening prices were lower Of
ferings were small, and later the firm
ness OF corn had influence on trading.
