CHICAGO, August 1S.-Light re-
ceipts and a limited selling pressure
at the start today caused wheat prices
to open u to y higher. with Decem-
Der 239 and March 2.41. Prices how
cred around here for the first hour,
after which the market attracted at
tention and became firmer.
Corn started in sympathy with
wheat. opening quotations being I'M
changed to q higher. with September,
1.48A to LAO, and December. 1875 to
1s. The trade was light and 1t
took but little buying by commission
houses to make the market advance.
Reports of rains in parts of Nebraska
and Kansas led to some buying, which
gave additional strength.
There was light trade in oats,
which started unchanged to " higher,
with September 69A to 6sA and De-
cember 6ss to 6sA. Continuation of
the pressure which was SO noticeable
yesterday caused the market to
break, but it soon rallied and ad-
vanced.
Provisions were quiet and easy,
there being nothing doing early in
pork, while September lard was down
S and October up S. with ribs averag-
ing to 10 higher.
Trade continued light in wheat, al
though there was good shipping
business under way in cash grain, and
the market eased off with final quota
with December 2.39 to 2.39k and
March 2.40A.
Scattered rains in Nebraska and
Kansas and giving out of the buy
ing power later led to sharp re
action in corn, with the support lack
ing on the way down, At the finish
prices showed net loss Of N to 3A.
with September 1.45 to 1.45A and De-
cember 1.22H to 1913.
