CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on nonrd nf Trade.

CHICAGO, Aug. l2,-The crop report OF
the Canadian government, which indicated
n total yield Of wheat amounting to ap-
proximHtely IFS, 900, 900 bu. for that country
this year, had a depressing effect on the
wheat market here today, final quotations
also closed weak. Oats were easy and pro-
Visions firm.
AS the official report on the wheat crop
OF Canada, including Ontario and Quebec.
showed a prospective yield far in excess
OF expectations, sentiment was decidedly
bearish at the opening. Taken in conjunc-
ton with the crop report Of this govern
ment given out a few days ago, today's
statistics foreQasted a total yield for North
America amounting to 900, 900, 900 bu., by far
the largest crop ever harvested In the two
countries. Opening quotations were off IAg
1tc to sc. As trading progressed, however,
a firmeT tone developed, owing to rainy
weather conditions in the northwest. Bulls
took advantage of this possible delay to
harvesting and" forced prices higher on
several occasions during the day. In the
final hour, however, the market became
weak on liberal realizing. The close was
at almost the lowest point.
Beneficial rains in the corn belt had a
weakening effect on corn, sentiment in the
pit being bearish nearly the entire day.
September was congested and Its price was
forced up about 1c on covering by shorts.
The upturn in September. however, was
short lived. the close being weak, at net
declines Of h9&c to, &c.
Oats we're inclined TO be weak, owing
90 a continued heavy movement of the new
crop, but delay to harvesting. due to wet
weather, had a tendency to steady the
market At the close prices were unchanged
to Mc. over
Trade in provlaons was active and the
market was firm all day =. Prices at the
