CHICAGO. August 15.-Announce-
ment that there would be no board of
control in the Canadian wheat trade
this year tended to strengthen the
l'price of wheat little here today
during the early dealings. Trade,
however. was ilght, and even those
dealers who looked for rally seem
ed unwilling to risk buying much in
view of disturbed industrial and
financial conditions. Country offer
ings to arrive were meager. with
some sellers to arrive cancelins con-
tracts where possible. The opening,
which ranged from IS decline to j.
advance. with September lO14 to
I 1919. and December 1OIk to 1O2A
was followed by an upturn all around
TO trif1e above yesterdays finish.
Absence of rain gave firmness to
corn and oats. After opening I'M
changed to Is higher. September 57ss
to 5fB. the corn market scored mod :
crate general gains.
Oats started Is to /. off to Il I'm
September 3oi to 3Oas. and later
showed gains on all deliveries.
Practical absence of demand for
wheat today except from previous
sellers resulted in new low price records
for all deliveries. with September re-
cedlng for while to less than 81 a
bushei. Buyers were deferred on ar
| count of domestic shipping uncertain
/ ties and the foreign monetary compii
cations The market closed unsettlcd
al the same as yesterdays finish to IL
lower with September 1901. to 1904. and
December lolss to 10l$4
! Weakness in the wheat market failed
to be reflected in corn The corn mar
