CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO. Sept. 4.-Listlessness pervaded the
wheat pit today and prices We're confined to
Pit traders were inclined to the selling side of
the market on the theory that after four days
OF steadily advancing prices the market was
uue Tor reaction. The support given the mar
ket the past few sessions by numerous bulls
was lacking today, and this partly respon-
siDie Tor the bearish tone which prevailed the
greater part of the session. Weather in the
northwest was ideal for thrashing and moving
the newly harvested grain, and receipts at Min
neapolis and Duluth were large enough to af
ford millers ample opportunity to supply their
needs, the two points having total arrivals
of 54S cars against 166 year ago. Flour
sales at Minneapolis were again reported
tremely liberal. Some improvement in the ex-
port demand for wheat was observable, both
here and In the east, but no large amount of
business was reported. Wheat for September
delivery was still badly congested because of
the concentration of large holdings In strong
hands. and at one time sold at a full cent
premium December. The market closed ir
regularly, September being firm and the new
crop months easy.
Clearances of wheat and -four were equal to
3S1 GOO bushels. Exports for the week, shown
by Bradstreets, were equal to $4,000 bush
els. Primary receipts were 7S4 900 bushels, COM
pared with 776,000 bushels the corresponding
day year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts Of 595 cars. against
534 cars last week and 315 year ago.
Rising temperature throughout the corn belt
market subjected to- considerable rising,
which caused some weakness. The market closed
easy, with prices B@3sc lower. Local receipts
were 24S cars, with 0S of contract grade.
Oats were dull and easy. At the close prices
were 1s@Ac higher to 9sc lower. Local re-
ceipts were 1872 cars.
The feature of trading in provisions was lib
eral sales of lard and ribs by local packers,
which caused moderate weakness The market
closed easy, with prices off 212c. to 121ac, COM
pared with the previous close.
Estimated receipts for the week-Wheat, 81
cars; corn, 2S5 cars; oats, 261 cars; hogs, 1900
head.

Potatoes, Onions and vegetable.

The situation in potatoes and green produce
showed no change from the previous report and
price changes were few and unimportant- Toma-
toes were still In oversupply and decidedly weak
for general offerings. though one or two brands
occasionally sold In small way above the quo
tations. Green corn steady for selected lots
and weak for ordinary packs, which were offered
freely at low and irregular prices. Cucunbers,
summer squash, egg plant and green peppers re-
mained weak, with stocks accumula ting. Pota-
toes were quiet, with only the fanciest lots re-
ceiving any attention, and sales at3the outside
quotations were limited at that Onions did a
little better, the low prices checked the move
ment from the river district, and stocks were less
excessive than heretofore.
