CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-The wheat market was
weak the greater part of the day, although the
heayiness was interspersed with brief rallies
due to buying bya leading cash interest and
local shorts This cash concern was credited
with selling freely of the September delivery
while at the time buying the December
option. frner tone developed during the final
hours
Weakness at Liverpool, where prices were
I'D higher to 1Ssd lower, inspired free selling
at the start. and as trading progressed the CON
tinued free movement of wheat to all primary
points in the United States prompted addi-
tionai sales Absence of any export business
also had a depressing effect Weather coldl-
lions in the northwest were still generally favor
able for harvesting and threshing.
Wet weather in many sections of the corn
belt, which efectually broke the long standing
drought, caused a slump in prices The
close was weak, with prices &c TO sc below
yesterday.
Trade in oats was extremely active and senti-
ment bearish all DAY. The close was easy
with prices X n re lower.
Provisions were moderately firm early in the
day. Later prices receded considerably. The close
steady, with prices &c higher to &c lower
The leading futures ranged as follows:
