CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.
Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Aug 21.-Following an easier tone
early In the day, the wheat market ruled firm
the remainder OF the day. The heavy feeling at
the start was due to foreign advices, which were
considered favorable TO the bears. AS trading
progressed the market yielded 10 number OF
ish influences, sentiment becoming quite strong.
Weather in the Northwest was wet which, II
was claimed would interfere with harvest opera
tions, acceptances from the country were said to
be light, and Indications pointed to
much smaller receipts of wheat al
Kansas City and St Louis from now
on. Toward the end of the first hour demand by
commission houses and shorts became quite act
i've and prices made substantial advance. The
market closed firm. September opened shade
lower at II Mc, sold Off to 707s QT1c and thensad-
vanced to 71%c and closed at 1asc, a gain OF
H@Ac.
Fresh complaints were received today of corn
being damaged by hot winds in Nebraska and
Central Kansas. The market closed strong with
September &c up at 4sasc.
Oats were weak all day. September closed &c
of at 29%c
Liberal receipts of live hogs at Western pack
ing centers had a weakening effect on the local
provisions market. The market was also affected
by a 5-eent decline in the price of live hogs.
At the close September pork unchanged lard
