CHICAGO, August 80. - Wheat
prices, after showing early weakness,
closed fractionally higher today in a
nervous grain market characterized by
erratic price fluctuations. Anticipa-
ton of private crop estimates tomor-
row and approach of the Labor day
holiday tended to conflne speculative
interest.
Corn rose independently near the
finish and was to some extent respon-
sible for the late strength shown in
wheat.
Early proflt-taking developed on
weakness at Liverpool and in stocks.
Resting orders caused subsequent ral-
lies, however, and all grains showed
rather steady tendency during later
trading.
Wheat closed 3s down to "a up, May
deliveries showing the only net loss
from yesterdays finish. May sold at
S1.05a05A, unchanged to 3s lower.
September, however, ended at s1027s
a03, unchanged to "a higher, and De-
cember, new, also showed the same
range, closing at sl.037sa04.
Corn gained "a to q, December
