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

CHICAGO. Aug. SIT was a tricky
speculative market today in wheat. The
trade was filled with selling orders to
catch an expected higher opening. A
quick break resulted and Notwithstanding
Canadian fears OF frost as we'll as rust the
close was k6DMc under last night. Latest
trading left corn 1sdk TO &c up, oats ir-
regular Nc lower to A41fc higher and pro-
visions varying from 711q1Oc decline to
TIC advance.
Over-sharp dealers figured that with the
weather cool and wet in the Canadian
northwest the price of wheat would show
a bullish performance without doubt.
There was an advance, but practically 1t
amounted to nothing; as the selling orders
were already placed the pit saw break
instead of a bulge. September fluctuated
between 92sc and $3.50, closing easy &c
down at 9211c.
Corn traders feared bullish crop figures
from Washington. September ranged from
64%d64h to Csc, and closed firm h0hc
net higher at 647sQ65c. Cash grades were
steady. No. yellow finished at 641@Q64atc.
With the new crop of oats moving
freely, bulls hesitated about trying to force
an advance for that cereal High and low
points for the September option proved to
be 421sc and 411zc with the close kc off
at 41hc
Longs taking profits eased the market
for hog products. Pork closed &c lower
TO TIC up, lard down 2h to 711q1Oc and ribs
at a shade to 5d71zc decline.
