Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 24.-Distinct
apathy characterized the grain mar
ket today and sluggish trade caused
wheat prices to fluctuate narrowly
about the previous days closing quo
tations. An initial price improve
ment in wheat was followed by re-
actions Of about cent. At the close,
however, wheat showed fractional
gains all around.
Frost in Canadian regions and in
the Dakotas caused little anxiety.
Liverpool's strength was an early
buoyant factor as was the slight up-
turn at Kansas City, but the British
market weakened later. Corn showed
stubborn resistance to pressure and
averaged higher. Showing a net gain
Of about cent.
Little attention was paid a Wash
ington report the 1885 wheat pro-
auction control program would call
for cut below normal in acreage
sown of 10 per cent instead of Is per
cent as was the case this year. The
only comment was an assertion
Washington officials were ignoring
the fact that wheat production had
been below normal for two consecu-
tive years.
Wheat advanced u to z cent as
compared with yesterdays finish, De-
cember new closing at $1.04% los,
the high for the day. May ended at
$1.064-B and September new at
$l.037s-1.04.
Corn was up y to rs cents, De-
cember deliveries closing at 787a-79
cents. Oats gained % to "a, rye 4
to p and barley was unchanged to
70 up. Provisions were slightly higher.
