Wheat was aided materially by reduced receipts and immense export clearances. At the close September corn was 1ssc higher, September wheat Ac up September oats Ac lower and September provisions 71k@10c higher.

TRADING FAIRLY ACTIVE

New York, August 23.-The cotton mar ket opened very steady fin tone with prices to 4 points higher on fairly active gen eral buying in which the August and September shorts at once took the lead. There was comparatively little cotton for sale and bear operators were slow to take the short side until more was known of the intentions of August longs The Liverpool. cables refecting nothing more than a moderate response to the firmness here late yesterday while the news from the crop country was better so far as the weather was concerned. The crop ac- counts, however, continued of pessi- mistic order. The government crop map gave showers over the central and eastern belt and for tonight and for tomorrow foreeasted rains in all sections except portions of the western belt. The first wave of buying carried August to s.52 and January to 795. Then came a little profit taking movement under which prices eased off to last nights bids.
 This in turn, was followed by another upward movement on fresh demand from the shorts who seemed to be very uneasy and averse to going home on the bear side and risk over Sunday developments in the crop country. The September shorts in particular were uncomfortable and bid that option up to 8.14. Trading continued fairly active all the early session with sentiment on the whole favoring the bull side
