Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. Aug 1s.-wheat had weak
opening because of failure of predicted frost
in the Northwest and reports INDICATING a
excess of that of last year september was
down 1Q1Ac at 81 OF to 81 074a at the open
ing and declined on heavy hquidation to
81 06A. December showed a loss in the
opening trades of 1d11sc to 2Ae at 81 OF to
81 0S and soon receded TO 81 oo12. Then oc-
by a Minneapolis crop expert intimated the
spreading of black rust through hitherto prom
tsing fields in the British Northwest. In it's
wake came kilograms from Winnipeg direct
describing total or partial crop destruction OF
two-thirds of the wheat area OF manitoba.
The nervousness Of the trade found express
sion in sudden leaps and tumbles Of prices.
September sold at 81 90 and December 81 09%
before the feverish rush Of buying was salts
fed Then the trade paused and took a
vey. News in the meantime from the three
big wheat States Minnesota and North and
South Dakota gave conflicting estimates of
the seriousness of crop damage. One report
which apparently received much credence was
to the erect that with favorable weather there
States will equal last years production. Sim
liar advces caused a DIVIDED sentiment among
traders, with a preponderance OF bearishness.
Long lines taken on in the early rush came
out and scaIpers contributed heavy selling or
ders. September broke to 81 O61. rallied on
last effort of the bulls TO hold hold prices up
weak. December declined TO u oi9s, rallied
to 81 os1s and closed also weak at 81 o7%9
In the corn market September opened with
loss of A01Hc at 53k@54%c. December
was down 1k63sc to q G1sc at 04Qo415c. 1t
closed weak at a loss Of &c. september de-
cllned to 53sc closing easy at 53A q53ssc.
In oats September opened 1ssc lower at
s43sc and sold off to S4Ac on the early de-
clnes. The close was easy at 34bc.
Provisions were active and higher. The
local run OF hogs was much smaller than an
ticipated and this stimulated the demand.
Higher cables were also a factor in advanc-
ing prices. September pork closed 2oc higher
al si1 771s Lard was up 715c at Sc 95. Ribs
gained 1G912kc at 81 Asa. 47]3.
