Chicago, Aug. 15.-The market today
was full of incidents of note. Cash
wheat was TO 10 cents lower; there
was a further rally in cash corn. and
a sensational further rise in the price
OF hogs and cattle to new record
prices. The corn crop is reported to
be doing well, but is late. Chicago
grain stocks are very low. at around
100000 bushels. Export demand for
corn is poor but there are fair in
quiries for oats. Local traders are
somewhat bearish on the belief that
cash wheat prices will work lower.
Corn and oats are due to hold current

Chicago, Aug. ts-Peace talk and

on the corn market. Signs OF some re-
vtval Of distillery demand led only TO
a temporary reaction. Favorable crop
reports seemed to form more than an
offset. Opening quotations, which

Wheat.

almost wholly on guesses as to what

would set for transactions under the

were insignificant mostly at S2.05, an
advance of 1 cent compared with yes

senate bill So, which has been, as one
senator remarked: 'played horse
with" for week or more, came up
with substitute bill making the law
apply to Multnomah county only. The
object of the bill is to do away with
the publishing of delinquent tax lists,
and as the Mdltnomah delegation
wanted the bill while apparently the
other counties did not, the bill has
been referred, and re-referred several
times. A redhot debate started this
