CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Aug 2l.-Reports Of a frost in several
localities in the Canadian Northwest caused spurt
of bulsh enthusiasm In the wheat and oats pit On
the Board Of Trade to-day. but the strength in the
former dissipated by predictions OF a liberal
and speedy movement of the new spring sown crop
Oats closed firm, but wheat, corn and provisions
weak.
The wheat market opened weak due mainly to
the apparent Indifference of foreign traders to the
advance here yesterday, evidenced by declines
at nearly all the principal European grain markets
The decline abroad ascrbed to more liberal
offerings OF wheat from Russia and ports the
Danube and to favorable prospects for the Argen-
tine crop. The trade in the local market was very
quiet for time but the receipt of dispatches tell
ing OF low temperatures last night in Manitoba.
Saskatchewan and Alberta brought out active
demand from several leading commission houses.
These advices together with advance of more
than 1c at Winnipeg started rally which

OCTOBER COTTON DROPS
Mane~rring on This Option LkeTy
to DrlUe 1t to 8.

For time after the opening Of the local cotton
market yesterday the bears continued their ham
mertng tactics of the day before, when there
sensational drop of s. a bale in the October op-
ton and succeeded in putting October down to s-5i
cents, q new low record for the year and points
under the low point of Thursday. In the first few
minutes of trading about I5 COO bales were thrown
on the market by broker, said TO be acting for
bull houses that had not yet completed their nqui
datons- Many conflicting views were held by
brokers in regard TO the market position of the
bull interests headed by J. l. Livermore. who
were reported to have lost $4,000 in the smash
in prices the day before. Some had IT that the
pools holdings were still intact others that it had
entirely Quidated ITS line, and still others that it
had thrown a portion of its holdings in order
to protect the balance. The latter generally
looked upon the more nearly correct view.
One story going the rounds yesterday that
Mr. LiverTaore and his associates had covered a
short line of 4oooo bales of October ss5
cents to S72 cents, which had been put between
$50 cents and SO cents early in the month Whether
there was any basis for this ruInor or not, there
heavy covering OF short lines In the afternoon.
which carried October to SIS cents, recovery of %
points from the low point reached in the forenoon
general sentiment of the pit was bearish, and Il
freely predicted that October would go pretty
close to cents before the present movement ex-
hausted itself. October closed at s69 cents point
under Thursdays close and the other options
closed at a decline of from to points under the
prices Of the preceding days close.
