CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Heayy clearances
caused strong and fairly active wheat
market to-day. September closing 5sS
q nc higher. Corn closed sc and oats
A4Sc improved. Provisions closed
unchanged to 2iac up.
Absence OF cables from Liverpool. that
market being closed. left wheat traders
with nothing 10 contemplate but a
promising spring wheat crop on top OF
the big winter crop and the opening
found the crowd free sellers. September
ranged from 6Slsc TO 6SLc. the decline
was checked by evidences that the sea-
board clearasces for the day would be
unusually heavy. Heavy purchases by
single operator started an advance in
which the crowd joined later when the
size OF the clearances was confirmed
and receivers reported light offerings
from the country. The market rose
steadily TO CSC where a considerable
short interest was driven to cover and a
lurtner advance to 6s%4 a693se ensued.
On the bulge longs took profits, out
the bulls strenuously opposed them, and
the market closed strong, September
asQa4e higher than yesterdays close
at esAc exports reported 20 loads Ia
ken. Seaboard clearanees were equal
to 1928 600 bushels, while primary re-
ceipts were 100000 bushels, compared
with 925. 900 last year. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported a total OF 129 cars
against 203 last week and 227 year
ago. Local receipts were PSI cars, 46 Of
contract grade.
News of the corn crop was generally
of one tenor-bad. On report which re-
ceiyed marked attention came from
Iowa, and predicted that the condition
of the crop OF that State Will not be
over 40 per cent. The market, how
ever, had an easy opening, owing
to the weather forecast, which
promised rain. Selling for few
moments was urgent. but 1t was
soon over. The wheat strength
started the reaction. A large short in
terest was exposed, and many SOLO out,
bulls reinstated their lines. For time
corn was hard to get, and the market
rallied sharply. Realizing sales on the
advance caused decline OF ssc but tue
close was Arm, sc higher at o11zc. The
low point was DO NC, and the best oS1se.
Receipts were ISL cars.
