CHICAGO, August 23.-Wheat was
under, pressure at the start today be-
cause of lack of support. After opening
/ to 2k lower, with December 2.3l to
2.31k and March 2321k. buying orders
appeared and a fair rally followed
Corn opened Il lower to ] higher,
with the May delivery in the lead. Fair
selling on the advance caused reac-
ton, with September acting little flrm
on scattered buying. Relatively low
had some effect, but the
sentiment still is bearish among the pit
element. September started at AZ to
142Ia and December 1901 to III.
Oats were under pressure due to large
receipts, but in the main reflected the
action of corn. Initial quotations ranged
from y lower to " higher, with Sep
tember 6ek to 66N and December 66A
to 66N.
Provisions were very quiet at the start,
what little business there was being con-
fined to lard. which started shade to
Is higher. Pork started lower. There
was no trading in ribs at the start
Potatoes-Receipts,. 81 cars; market
firm; Virginia cobblers. 4.15a5.00 per
barrel; Jersey sacked. s.ooa3 10 per cwt.;
The rally in wheat was of short dura-
ton, prices dropping sharply because of
the decline in corn. After dropping
more than s cents, the market again
stiffened and closed 4A to I under the
previous finish, with December 2.2S to
2.2SN and March 2.2S.
General selling of corn was in evil
dence later by strong commission
houses and with a lack of outside
support or aggressive buying by local
traders the markets dropped sharply
to a new low figure on the crop. Just
before the close, however, there was
a strong rally, led by the September
delivery, and the finish was I'M
changed to 2 lower, with September
1.42 to 1.42A and December 1.1sk
to 1859.
