CHICAGO. Aug. 15.-wheat was nearly
crowded from the spotlight area in speculative
Wheat however, as the result of fresh re-
ports OF crop damage. remained the chief at
traction. September advancing 2sc from the
low point OF the day and finishing with net
gain OF &c In corn the chief trading was in
the new crop deliveries. December closing with
a net advance Of 2t5 5d2asc. September scoring
visions closed 2l2c TO TIC higher.
The wheat market was on edge at the start
and susceptible 10 quick changes in sentiment.

lower to 4 QSsc higher than the previous close.
Some Of the leftover bearish sentiment OF
final transactions on Saturday was still ap-
parent IN selling active around the better prices
OF the opening range The rust afflicted nor
tions OF Minnesota and the DaHotas were also
said 70 be growing in area the damage being
estimated ar from Is TO 20 per cent OF the
average crop in these sections. Under these

apparently saw little upon which 10 base his
hopes Shorts covered and continued TO cover

were realizing sales also at each advanc. but
the offerings quickly melted under the grow
ing demand september climbed step by step

in the September option toward the close to

well maintained 70 the end.
\ serious condition seems TO confront the
corn trade. Complaints of backward growth
ana poor prospects became so pronounced to-day
that bulls and bears were compelled to give
heed to them September started at 53c TO
53I2c and advanced TO SAFE the closing fig
ure. Commission houses had large buying or
ders from Southwestern points whene dry. hot
weather appears TO have created a sentiment

TENDER opened unchanged at 33A and ad-
vanced 70 34l2c. Some influential selling by
one OF the speculative leaders checked the ad-
vance and carried the September price back TO
343sc at the close.
Apparently an effort was made TO bull the
provision market at the start and higher prices
ruled. A large line Of lard was thrown en- the
market by one OF the large packers and its
effect was to stay the advance. The market
held strong, however. under a good commits +
