 Demand then tapered off and there was some selling on expectations that a low barometer in the north west would cause rain in Oklahoma and Texas, but this view was not generally held, and reactions of 5o or 40 points were followed by re- newed firmness in the late trading on buying, which seemed to come largely from Wall street and west ern sources.

By Associated Press

Chicago, August 1O-Uneasiness over the possible spreading of the rail strike had more or less to do today with an upturn in wheat The market closed firm % to cent net higher; with September S1.05B 10 $1.O6 and December $1.06B to S1.06A Corn finished A cent to A cent up. Oats off 1l cent to $, and provi- sions unchanged to 27 cents 4ower
 Rail strike misgivings in wheat were stirred by report that loco motive engineers at Pottsville, Pa, had declared for an immediate walk out to aid the shopmen. Shorts covered freely after this report be- came current and the market closed at the days top.
 Previous to notice being taken of renewed talk about transportation difficulties, wheat had developed little strength as a result higher bids from exporters, together with announcement that 505,000 bushels had been purchased here for ship ment to Europe.
 Advices indicating need of rain over a wide district tended to rally the corn market after corn like wheat touched a new low price rec ord for the season. Cash demand for corn was better. Oats were ne- glected.
 Idouidating sales caused late de- clines in the provision market, more than offsetting earlier advances
