CHICAGO. August A-With buyers
cautious because of talk that the Ca
madam crop and reciprocity would bring
about reduced prices wheat today turned
weak. The depression followed an ini-
tial show Of strength due to bullsh ca
bles. Liverpool reported Danubian and
Russian offers scarce. Rainy weather in
Great Britain tended also to lift the mar
ket. but the effect of the transatlantic
news proved brief. and prices here grad
ually sagged to a decided extent under
last nights level. The opening was a
shade to hassc up. September started at
90es to 9Os4. a gain of a sixteenth to ia
l4c. and then declined to 9OlaaGOA.
Need of rain gave firm tone to corn.
Trade. however. was extremely light De-
cember opened unchanged to &c higher

hold within that range.
Oats were steadied somewhat by corn.

A fair demand from foreigners tended
to lift provisions. Initial sales varied
from 15c lower to TIC advance. with
