chicago weekly Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, H., Sept 1s.-Severe breaks in
the value Of grain have taken place tins
week. Compared with week ago, wheat
this morning was down 31sc to axe, corn
off Csc to 35sc and oats varying from SC
decline to q advance.
Net differences in provisions ranged from
11c less to a rise of S2.45.
The hardest single Jolt to grain prices
came from a collapse Of 9lSc one day in
quotations on wheat. This collapse accom-
panied 4 sharp fall in sterling rates ana
also coiucided with an apparent complete
halt in export business. Extensive selling
at this juncture was ascribed to a leading
SPECTATOR in cotton. Rains greatly of
benefit to the Argentine crop acted an
additional bearish influence. Later, how
ever. export business showed revival. do
nestle milling demand was active and the
wheat market rallied to a considerable eX-
tent with signs again prevalent of a hold
ing attitude by farmers.
Estimates that a big share of the corn
crop already safe from frost did Il
good deal to pull down the corn markets.
Oats were steadied by shorts covering.
Hogs Mt the topmost prices set this season
hoisted provisions.
