CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Speculation on Yield of Wheat in Cam
ada-Lard Active and
Higher
By Associated Press.

CHICAGO. Aug. 24.-The wheat market
was inclined to be weak all day, but In
the early part of the session prices were
held fairly steady by the firmneSs of
Liverpool cables. Toward the noon hour
the market became weak on selling,
caused by the absence of export demand
and excellent reports of the condition of
the spring crop. Advices regarding the
Can ian crops were especially optimis-
tic one report claiming that the total
yield of wheat for the Dominion would
show a gain of 10 per cent over that of
last year. Late In the day, however, a
large part of the loss was regained on
covering by shorts. Damage reports
from the southwest, where wheat was re-
ported to he sprouting in shocks were in
strumental in crea ting a steadied under
tone. There was much changing during
the day from the September delivery to
the December option and trading in the
Ia tier month, showed a liberal Increase.
The market closed easy. September
opened a shade to 1sc higher at 711a0
T1ssc to 15sc, sold off to 7O5sc and
closed Ac down at 71Ac.
Rain over large portion of the corn belt
caused weakness today The close was
weak. September closed 4SAc
Buying of lard by packers was the
feature of trading in provisions. The
close: September lard was up 221ac. pork
was unchanged and ribs were 21a@5c
higher for September.

er hospital, Sunbury.
Early yesterday morning Henry
along with some other WoTkmen left
Danville for Milton with the under
standing that they were to have en-
ployment at the car works at that
place. In order to make good time
they jumped train that came along
Just before reaching the tower, where
the locomotive cut loose for NOM
ent. the men jumped off, as this was
a point nearest to the car works. The
men had expected the train to come to
a stop, which it failed to do, so that in
jumping off at the last moment, they
had no opportunity to select the
ground. Several of them got ugly
falls and sustained minor injuries.
John Henry, who is a heavy man, was
thrown violently and sustained a bad
fracture of his left leg below the knee.
AS the best way out it was decided
to remove him to the Mary Packer
hospital. Accompanied by one of his
fellow workman he was removed to
Sunbury during the forenoon. Henry
is married man and resides on Ferry
street, this city. 1t will be many
weeks before he will be able to work.
