T@day'S Market Quotations
LACK OF REPORTS
CAUSES DECLINE
Absence of Damaging Rumors From
Canada Results in Bearish Ac-
ton on Wheat Market.

Chicago. Aug. 12.-Absence of frost
reports from Canada had a bearish in
fuence today on the wheat market
here. The opening, which ranged from
a to 212c lower with September at
1.42 TO 1929 and December at 1.441b to
LAC was followed by a moderate re-
covery.
Subsequently rumors that railway
wage mediation had failed gave the
bulls more or less of an advantage
Price upturns were also facilitated by
belated reports of frost in some places
in the Canadian wheat provinces. The
close nevertheless was unsettled Il to
1c net lower, with September 1.427s to
L43 and December 1.4601.461k
Corn developed strength owing to
the buIlishness Of the Illinois state
crop report Notice of rains in Illinois,
however, led at first to a slight setback
in prices. After opening Il to &c
lower, the market rose to well above
yesterdays finish.
The late relative strength in wheat
tended somewhat TO handicap corn
bears. Prices closed firm at CSC to rs
net advance.
Light demand kept the oats market
easy. Hedging pressure continued in
evidence.
Lower hog quotations weakened pro-
visions. Besides shipments of lard
and meats this week were under the
corresponding time last year.
