CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions


CHICAGO Aug. 14.-After experiencing a
slight drop at the start owing to selling brought
out by the failure of the Liverpool wheat market
TO respond to the advance here yesterday, the
local market rallied and continued firm the re-
malnder of the session. The upturn was due to
reports that rains were general last night
throughout the Dakotas, which will, 1t is said,
greatly interfere with harvesting. Active buy
ing by leading bull, whose purchases yesterday
were largely the cause of the advance, added
fresh vigor to bullish enthusiasm during the last
hour OF trading and caused lively covering by
snorts Strength at northwestern grain centers,
which was said to have been due to an active
milling demand for cash wheat, was an addi-
tlonai incentive TO buyers here The market
closed strong with prices almost at the top. Sep
tember opened A@%c lower at 927s @93c, ad-
vanced to 94Ac and closed at 94G94Bc.
Corn closed weak. September opened 1sc
lower at TIE, advanced to 777sc and closed at
767s @7Tc.
Oats were weak. September closed at 47c.
Provisions were firm and steady September
pork was off 21ac; lard and ribs were each un-
changed
