WHEAT PIT
RULED WEAK
Market Was Decidedly Erratic
Yesterday
CORN LOSES A FRACTION
Provisions Are Narrow Closing
Rather Steady.
CORN LOSES A FRACTION

Chicago, Aug Grading in the grain
pits was rather quiet and lower prices
ruled. September wheat closing 5sc lower.
September corn off &c. and oats were
down &C. while provisions closed PIC
lower TO nc higher.
Wheat prices were rather erratic, good
advances being made early in the day.
but during the last half Of the session
all the gain was lost The opening was
firm on sharp advance at Paris and
on further gains in the northwest, Sep
TENDER being &c lower to &c higher al
S014c TO Soasc. On general bullish news
a good demand developed from speculat-
ors and shorts and under this influence
the market became quite strong, Septem-
Der selling up TO S07sc. Later in the day
there was a heavy selling pressure due
to a sharp falling off in prices at Min
neapolis and the prices here broke Sc
verely. September declining to 7S5sc. The
clase was weak and near the bottom
September being off sc at 7924c. Clear
ances of wheat and -four were equal to
27s.l00 bushels. The amount on passage
decreased 2.32O,0o bushels, while the visi-
bic supply increased 464 900 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts were 800 bushels against
1864 bushels a year ago Minneapo-
lis and Duluth reported receipts Of 207
cars. which. with local receipts of lis
cars-20 of contract grade-made total
receipts for the three points of 80 cars,
against 276 cars last week.
Commission houses were free sellers OF
corn, and lower prices ruled. although
the early strength in wheat held prices
fairly well the first part of the day, but
later with the breaK in that grain the
market became extremely weak. After
ranging between 512sc and 525sc Septem-
Der closed &c lower at 51%4c. Local re-
ceipts were 1s5 cars. with % of contract
grade.
There was little feature in trading in
oats. and prices were inclined to follow
other grains, the early strength in wheat
being a supporter OF the early session but
later offerings became more liberal and
the market eased off. September closed
with a loss of &c at s3HG2324c after sell
ing between 337sc and 34l4c. Local re-
ceipts were 212 cars.
Provisions ruled quiet and prices were
lower early in the session with very lit
tie demand. the increased stock of lard
being a bear feature. Buying by local
traders later caused a slight rally and
the close was about steady. September
pork being &c higher. at s13.75; September
lard was off PIC, at 1922, while ribs
were up TIC, at sS15.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, $50 cars; corn, 80 cars; oats, 14O
cars; hogs, 1900 head

There were not enough hogs on sale
yesterday to suit the buyers. Dold bought
all that was sold and before the usual
time for closing the buyers saw that the. e
would not be hogs enough to make a
killing for one packer and they went
home hoping that there would be better
supply this morning. The market was
steady TO strong for mixed and heavy
hogs and very unexpectedly to buyers
and sellers-Hght hogs We're about i've
cents higher. Last week there was an
undertone Of weakness 10 the market for
pigs and the only excuse for the higher
prices yesterday was 5hat it is expected
