Future Grain and Provision.

CHICAGO, Aug. Is.-Excellent weather for
harvesting the spring sown crop in Minnesota
the Dakotss and Northwestern Canada was the
primary cause OF a weak wheat market Ad-
vices from the Northwest reported that new
wheat is already on the way to market from,
sections where the harvesting has been com
pleted. and that the movement is expected 10
enlarge rapidly within the next two weeks.
minor reason for the weak undertone was
a decline IN the price OF wheat at Liverpool.
which due TO the improved weather con
dition in Great Britain.
As trading progressed selling increased in
volume and the weakness became more pro.
nounced. Offerings largely by shorts
The strength Of corn had a steadying effect late
IN the session. The market closed easy. Sep

Toh crosse sold at 7ost G7o1sc and then de-
cliRed TO 90 z Et09Xc and closed Mt 70Lc

Potatoes. Onions and Vegetables.

Owing TO the late arrival Of the princIpaI
river boats there was temporary scarcity of
Tomatoes in the early trade and prices of both
the river and bay articles ranged higher A.
the opening the best offerings OF fresh STOCK
sold above the outside quotations river selling
those prices were hardly quotable. The other
vegetables were in free supply and generally
weak Potatoes closed firm, with stocks light
