CHICAGO, August 11.-Grain mar
kets followed the lead of corn to-day
That market was given a solar plexus
blow by government crop report,
which was much more favorable than
expected and closed at a decline of ~
cents Wheat s4c chiefly through sym
pathy and oats declined 9sc. Provis-
| ions closed 5Q128c lower
sentiment among wheat traders at
the opening was rather tame ait 760Ac
for September, yesterdays closing
price being 76c. There was, perhaps,
some disappointment over the govern
ment crop report, which was not SO
bullish as expected, but this was offset
by the continued hot weather and
showers in the northwest, conditions
regarded as extremely unfavorable
But another factor made itself felt
soon after the Opening-a sudden de-
cline in corn of 15sc. The effect OF
such weakness on a market naturally
rather heavy, was immediate Selling
was quite heavy for some time, prin-
cipally by local traders who had
bought wheat yesterday in the belief
that the government crop would show
big falling off in condition, and even
after this liquidation ceased the market
showed but little signs or recovery
The september price was hammered
down to 751sc before the selling pres
sure was removed. There was notice.
able country selling at times, and stop
orders were received by some commits
sion houses. The close was heavy at
75Ac.

The government crop report was a
painful surprise to longs which had

which have been received of late and
liquidation was heavy from the west
There was a general spilling out of
long corn, with some selling by local
bull leaders and prices declined ripld-
ly. September finally broke TO 377sc
but the demand improved after the
price had reached that point and to-
ward the close the market became
steadier. Country offerings were small.
Receipts were 16S cars. September
ranged from 377s to 3954c and closed
112c lower at 3Sc.
Oats were dull for the most part and
showed weakness throughout, the mar
ket being influenced almost entirely by
the weakness of corn. Business was
largely local and of no especial i'm
portance. Elevator people were the
best sellers. Receipts were 437 cars.
September ranged from 2134 to 223sc
and closed sc lower at 21Ac.
Provisions were heavy, Influenced by
the grain markets, and by the weakness
of hogs. There was very little specula-
tive interests shown, moderate liquida-
ton being led by the packers. Prices
ruled lower from the start At the close
September pork was ,212c lower at
S11 so; September lard sc lower at
So 671s and September ribs Tee lower
at 81 05.
