Chicago, Aug. 5.-Although weak
ness seized the wheat. market as. the
first result here of England's declara.
ton Of war, prices were not long in
making a complete recovery, and then
showing rise all around.
Higher values at Winnipeg, where
there was said to be notable scarcity
of offers, had considerable to do with
causing the rally here.
Depression at the outset in Chicago
was due to fear that the export situa-
ton In wheat for the time being would
lands entrance into active hostiltttes.
Reports were circulated that the
British guarantee Of war risks on the
ocean had been abandoned. The open
ing, which was one-fourth to two cents
lower, was followed by moderate
further declines and then by an up
ward swing that carried prices one
eighth to seven-eighth cents above last
night.
The close was strong at w to SIC
net RISE
Hope of emergency action by the
United States in facilitating grain ex-
ports helped to offset advices that the
plans Of the British government to
guarantee war risks on ocean ship
ments Of wheat were being held in
allegiance
Failure of expected rains made the
corn market strong. There was q
temporary decline, however, when
wheat showed decided break. After
starting one-eighth off to one-half cent
up and ascending little further, the
market sagged below last nights level,
but then climbed decidedly higher
than before.
Eager shipping call from the east
forced the advance to continue. The
close was strong N to 20 net higher.
Osts developed strength on account
of offers being scarce today.
Falling off in hog receipts brought
about an advance in provisions. Sellers
we're not numerous, but there was no
difficulty in buying lard.
