Future Gram and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-News from the North
west was less suggestive Of utter ruin to the
growing wheat crop than at any time for a
week past The market almost from the
start appeared to be struggling under heavy
load of long wheat. Sentiment at the opening
wavered between confidence and suspicion Of
the outlook with a leaning toward the lat
ter. Initial bids for September at 81 03H1
81 04A were unchanged to &c higher Then
the price began to suffer. There were MANY
traders who believed the grain cheap at the
fractional declines that ensued and nearly
every reverse was followed by a partial re-
covery. The weight Of the load Of long wheat
however was too much for the supporters
of the market Step by step values settled
back until September was down to 81 01%
The final efforts Of the bulls only operated to
steady the tone and bring about sharp i'm
provement in prices. September closed almost
at the bottom the latest sales being at 81 o1k
In corn. September, the leading option,
started unchanged TO &c higher, advanced on
free covering, but closed a shade above the
bottom at 53M G53%c.
September oats opened firm, with a gain
Of &c at SANG declined to 1874 Q33%c and
closed at 3S &c.
In provisions the selling out OF September
holdings under the influence Of lower prices
for hogs had a weakening tendency. Pork
was especially affected, making a net loss OF
35c. Lard closed with a loss OF SC and ribs
were T15c lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
