GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago Market.

Chicago August Corn prices took
an upward turn today, influenced by
reports indicating that relief which had
been afforded by rains in the southwest
and elsewhere was not so great as at
first seemed to have been the case. Be
sides, the forecast this morning prom.
ised no more than slight showers any
where.
Offerings were not large. and were
readily absorbed by commission houses.
Opening prices, which ranged from
1.Sc off to lac advance, with Decem.
Der at lis SIS to 1.16 IS, and May at
113 rs to LA is, We're followed by
a moderate general advance, and then
something of a reaction.
Wheat is Firmer.
UnfavOrable crop advices from the
Dakotas gave some firmness to wheat
prices. After opening &c higher at 2.20
Sept, the market advanced 10 222 and
then fell back to 2.19.
Oats Are Easy.
Increased rural offerings to arrive
especially from central Illinois, tended
TO make the oats market relatively easy
Some transient strength at the start
was ascribed to sympathy with the up.
turn in corn.
Provisions Harden.
Provisions hardened after a little in.
itial weakness. A decided increase in
the warehouse stock of lard here ap'
peared TO have been discounted in ad
vance.
