TRADING [|GHTEST SINCE WAR STARTED Buying Actually Almost Ceases-Wheat Heavy at
 1 3-4 to 2c Down

Chicago, August 14-Tradng on ex- change today was the lightest since the beginning of the European war. Buying almost ceased at times. Wheat closed heavy. 1a4 cents to ceuts under last night. Corn finished s4@1ss cents down; oats off 11@sA eents and provisions varying from 25 cents de- cline to shade advance. It seemed as if everybody in the wheat pit was await ing the results of the conference today at New York between representatives of the government and of the exporters cf grain. Resting orders to buy wheat on a decline could no longer be traced. One reason was the belief that cargoes seized and diverted to British ports had a deal with the lowering of quotations at Liver pool and with break of 3i4 cent a bushei at Winnipeg.
 Beneficial rains and the fact that re- ceipts here larger than expected con- trbuted to weakness in the corn market. Oats were better sustained than other cereals. It was perstsently declared that England and France had been buying oats today and yesterday in New York.
 Provisions averaged lower. although hogs had an upward slant. Largo hold CTS seemed disposed to unload.
