WHEAT DEPRESSED
BY T|M|D BUYERS
Prices Take Sharp Break at
Close of Session on
Crop Reports

Chicago, August 17.-Wheat broke
sharply during the last few minutes of
trading today. Winnipeg provided the
chief bearish influence and the timidity
of buyers was at all times apparent.
The caution of the latter was due in
part to anxiety over the railroad situa-
ton. Closing prices were 15sc to 2Ac net
lower. Late deliveries of corn dropped
&c and oats finished 1sc to Ac down.
Provisions were dull and closed I'M
changed to 271sc lower.
Trading in wheat developed the abb
sence of any considerable short interest.
The shorts sent prices up for a. moment
early, but with this demand out of the
way prices sagged. All eyes were on
Winnipeg. One report had it that at
tempt was being made to depress that
market for the purpose of buying in at
concessions in other markets. Crop re-
ports from the Canadian northwest were
conflicting. Apparently an effort was
being made to counteract the effect of
crop damage reports by private experts
The true story, it was said, would be
known only with threshing returns For
eigners were on both sides of the market
here and at Winnipeg. Threshing returns
from the Dakotas were said to show
yields of but to 10 bushels to the acre.
Corn was fractionally higher early, but
weakened with wheat. September being
congested, was an exception, and closed
&c UP, with little trade The statistical
situation was considered bullish, but
trading was light
Commission houses sold oats on the
bulge but the market on the whole was
a dull and narrow affair. The cash
demand was reported fair. Three hun
dred thousand bushels were sold at the
seaboard for export.
A fair cash business was transacted in
provisions but futures were dull and col
ol'ess, with prices ranging lower in SYM
pathy with lower hogs.

higher than due on, the close of our
market yesterday.
Our market opened at an advance of
s to 10 points, and advanced as much
more on unfavorable weather conditions.
Around noon, however. there was some
selling on prospects for rain over Texas
and Alabama, which caused prices to
ease off a few points.
The tropical storm was the principal
feature of the day. Reports indicate that
the disturbance is moving in the di-
rection of the Texas coast and should it
move inland will probably cause a fur

Shorts covered rather freely during the

Judgment think they have, they will not
overlook this opportunity to get good
prices for their early cotton. There is
no question about the world needing the
cotton and if the holder of the raw ma

get it.
I think prices will work higher and
favor purchases at this level or on any
recessions. c. F. AVERY.

The Truthful Wife
From the Washington Star.

A detective was praising the truthful

going.
II repember a case the other day
it's interesting in it's revelation of
woman's truthfulness-the case of a hus-
band who had disappeared.
Questioning the wife, i said to her:
And now, madam, tell me-this is
very important-tell me what your hus-
bands very last words were when he
left?"
His last Words the truthful crea-
