CHICAGO, August S.-W neat look
an upturn in price today, owing more
or less to prospects that the govern
ment crop report tomorrow would he
tullish. An advance in sterling exchange.
fs cilitating export business, counted
also as a strengthening factor. Be
sides. selling pressure was light
Opening quotations. which ranged
from y to " higher. with Septem-
ber 1901 to 1.21 and December 1.24
to 1.24A, were followed by moderate
further gains and then something
of a reaction.
Liberal receipts tended to keep the
corn market easy. compared with
wheat. After opening 1s to y higher,
including September at 81 to 577s,
prices showed a disposition to sag.
Oats, like corn, were held down by
large arrivals, starting u off to u
up, September. 361a to 36ts, and then
hardening a little.
Provisions rose with hogs.
Subsequently attention shifted to
indications of improved wheat export
demand, together with expected falling
off in the movement from rural sources.
The close was firm, to "a net high
er: with September 1.22 to 1.22A and
December, 1.25 to 1.25A.
Reports that the German fodder crop
was seriously damaged by drought led
to more corn strength later. The close
was unsettled, IS to Nal net higher,
with September 57k to 57ha57As.
