WHEAT LEADS ALL GRAINS
IN AN UPWARD MOVEMENT.
BIG TRADE ALL DAY WITH
FIRMNESS FROM THE START.
Good Demand, Higher Cables and
Bull Sentiment Help Corn
Provisions Steady.

Chicago. Aug. 13.-Under the leadership OF
wheat the grain market ruled strong to-day.
Sept. wheat closing at 1lsG1fsc higher; Sept.
corn UP fraction and oats UP 1.I2sc. Pro-
visions closed irregular. the Sept products
being from slsc lower to &c higher.
WHEAT.
There was big trade in wheat through
out the entire session. and the firm dealing
which prevailed from the start became de-
cidedly strong toward the close, the final
figures being at about the best prices of the
day. The opening was firm on strong Eu-
ropean cables. and a continued light move
ment Sept. being 1sc to &c higher to S0i44c
During the early part Of the session l!quida-
ton on all advances was in order. alto
gether the sentiment in general was bullsh,
and this selling had tendency to check the
upward trend of prices. After selling off to
S0Ac, Sept began to advance gradually. and
toward the latter part of the session the
maket turned extremely strong on good ad-
vanceS in the Northwest markets, due to an
advance in the price of -four at Minneapo-
lis. Coupled with the stronger outside mar
kcts was a better export demand ut the
seaboard. both of which started shorts COW
ering. resulting IN strong close. After
selling up to SIC Sept, closed , l,zalasc hishe Che
50l,soo bu.. against sl4. 800 blu. year ago:
minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts OIL
81 cars. which. with local receipts of 80
cars-3 of contract grade-made total re-
ceipts for the three points of 1856 cars.
against 200 cars last week and 400 cars a
year ago.
CORN.
The opening In corn was firm on a good
scattered demand. to higher cables and to
the bull sentiment of yesterday, but the
weather in the West was reported more
favorable for the growing crop. and the
early firmness was soon dissipated by SELL
ing by several large commission-houses
The market had rather easier sailing until
near the close, when the strength in wheat
caused slight rally After ranging between
52asG52sc Sept. closed a shade higher at
525sGt53c. Local receipts were ITO cars. with
only 10 Of contract grade.
OATS.
Oats moved in sympathy with the leading
grains. although the market had some in
dependent firmness. based on reports of dis
appointing thrashing returns and light re-
ceipts. Trading was only moderate and the
market exhibited no special features. The
close was firm. Sept. being up A.I3sc at 1875
6S3Ac, after selling between 347sc and 35Ac.
Local receipts were ia cars.
