ituenced all the grain markets to-day.
Reports OF improvement in the north
west and the raising of the figures on
the estimated yield were the principal
factors In Il decline OF lNx5lAe In
wheat. Corn closed ;sI4sc lower and
oats SgAc lower. Provisions We're
| steady on light receipts and good cash
demand and closed 2hG5c higher.
The opening tone OF wheat was rattle:
| strong, September starting at IN al
vance OF MG&c at sO,s9SO4,c. This
was due entirely 10 pit trading, local
| spectators being influenced by TIE
| fact that foreign markets did not
| show an adequate response to yester.
| days decline here and 10 the serious
ness OF the Chinese situation. The
| strength disappeared almost immedi-
! ately. Reports from the northwest told
OF an Improved condition of wheat rs n
result OF rains and the cooler weather
J prevailing and the changes in the croa
| given out to-day In the TradA Bulletin
were considerable. This quickly
! changed the balance of trading In favor
OF the bears. The northwest sold con-
slderably md the steady decline In the
price finally discouraged longs and re-
suited IN considerable liquidation which
/ was kept up with more or less steGdl-
| ncss NIL day. Towards the close OF the
session there was u slight improve
'nent. In tone. caused principally by
covering by northwest traders. who had
put out wheat earlier In the week and
who had good profits In sight. The clos

against $4,000 bushels year ago. New
York reported f'fiy ionds taken for ey-
port. Seaboard clearances were eQun,
TO $4,000 bushels. Corn WAS strong
early, Influenced by reports OF cnntIG-
ued weather In Kansas and Nebraska
and absence OF rain with decide dly pcs-
simistic crop reports. Opening prices
showed substantial advance, and this
fact induced enough profit taking TO
keep prices on the down grade for the
rest OF the session. Some liquidation
was Induced by predictions of rain In
TUG uloNNHi slTlCken districts. country
offerings were light. The seahoayl re-
ported sixty loads taken for export.

The oats market followed closely tho
ttuctuntion or corn, The opening prices
We're slightly higher. but the market
