GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

LE tsNrr.
Chicago, Aug. %15.-AnnOuncement
that there would he no board OF con
troll In the Canadian wheat trade this
year attended to strengthen the price OF
wheat a little here today during the
early dealings. Trade, however, was
light and even those dealers who
looked for a rally seemed unwilling
to risk buying much In view Of the
disturbed industrial and financial
districts. '
Country offerings to- arrive were
meager. with some sellers to arrive
%cancelling contracts where possible.
The opening, which ranged from 3-S
Der $l.01 Ia to 1.01 3-S and De-
cember $1.o1 la to 1.01 IA, was fol-
lowed by al upturn all round to a
trifle above yesterdays finish.
Absence of rain gave firmness to
corn and oats, After opening un-
changed to 3-8 higher, September
Isl 5-8 to 81 7-s, the corn market
scored a moderate general gain.
Oats started 1-8 Ia off to 1-s up,
September 80 Ia to 80 3-8 and later
showed gains on all deliveries.
Provisions averaged lower in the
absence of any special demand.
Wheat-Practical absence Of de-
mand for wheat today except from
previous sellers resulted in new low

Sept. receding for a while to less
than l a bushel. Buyers were de-
tered on account of domestic ship
ping uncertainties and the foreign
monetary complications. The market
closed unsettled at the same as yes
terday's finish to 1 is lower, with
Sept. 800 :1-2 to 100 "a and Dec.
$1.01 SIS. to 1.01 "a. The effect of
the Canadian news proved to be OF
only a transient character, and with
ran strike news pessimistic and ex-
port demand slow, the market be-
came depressed with but little sign
of power to rally.
Weakness in the wheat market
failed to be reflected in corn. The
corn market closed firm. $40 to / Ia
