| CHICAGO. August 5.-Threatenings
of war between the allies and Russia
with consequent prospective increased
demands for American foodstufs had
a bullish effect today on grain, es-
pecially wheat. New setbacks in for
| eigr exchange, however. tended to
make export business difficult. and it
was said the British royal commits
sion was still holding off as buyer
Pit trading in future deliveries here
was only of moderate volume, heavy
| margins being required owing to re-
cent wild fluctuations. Opening prices
varied from 3k decline to 2 advance.
with December 2.2S to 2.32 and
March 229k to 2.31, were followed by
a general upturn that in some cases
went ~ above yesterdays finish.
Corn rose with wheat as result OF
dry weather and car shortage. After
opening u off to Is up. including
September. at 1.421ls to 1.43 and De-
cember 1881 to 1.24. the market
scored a decided advance all around.
Oats were firm, sympathizing with
other grain. Inc market opeheo u ~
changed to y lower. September !o%
to "a, and that made substantial
gains.
Trading in provisions was very
slow. Values responded only slightly
to strength in cereals and in the hog
market.
Cables pointing to great tension be-
tween England and Russia led to
further sharp price advances later
but to no radical enlargement OF pit
dealings. The market closed nervous
10 to liz net higher. with December
2.40 to 24Ok and March 2.42.
Subsequently crop damage reports
as well as war developments, brought
about yet greater advances IN corn
nrices outsiders bought corn much
more freely than wheat. The close
was unsettled, 2N to SIS net higher,
with September 1.4S to LASH and De-
cember 126M to 1853.
