Chicago Aug. 13.-Wheat rallied to-
day after a decline due to exporters
cancelling contracts and to assertions
that their buyers were refusing to
purchase except under conditions Of
payment that prevailed before the
war. The recovery resulted from
resting orders to take pit offerings on
any substantial break. After opening
1-4M3-Sc lower and suffering a slight
further drop the market rose above
last nights level all around.
Corn swayed with wheat. The OPP
ening, which ranged from 1ac Off to a
like advance, was followed by gen.
eral setback and then material up
turn.
Steadiness ruled in oats. There was
a fairly good miscellaneous trade.
Provisions showed a firm tone in
fluenced by an advance in the price OF
hogs. Selling became more plentiful,
however, when the market made a
slight bulge.
Later the wheat market fell again
owing to sales led by warehouse con-
Germs and because of difficulties fear
edin regard to financing receipts
which accumulate. The close was
heavy at 1M1 3-4c under last night.
Rains in Nebraska and Illinois
tended afterwards to render the corn
market heavy. The close was heavy,
3-4M1 lac under last night.
The leading features ranged as fol
