Chicago, Aug. 9.—Many of the flesetters from the wheat crowd were again in that market today, corn not monopolizing the entire attention of the speculative ele ment. Although there wa» more busi ness In wheat and les3 In corn, the former was, nevertheless, taking Its cue from the latter. The Cincinnati Price Current in its summary reminded the dealers that ihe situation was dependent to a great extent on the com contflUbns, inasmuch as wheat was being paf’TS* the uses that corn was genemlly intended for. Septem ber wheat oi^ned irom 66% to E69t. sold between K& and 57%, closing at &6%a%. Cakfl .wheat wad fti good demand, sales averaging % higher than yesterday. A slightly easier impression existed near the close on talk of the. large snipments of wheat from toTedo to Chicago, It being reported that vessel room had been en gaged. For about five minutes alter tltb opening it looked as though the panic in; ebrn was not yet over. Prices wefe Irregular and fluctuations quick, with a strong upward tendency. The country had no rain, ann it was quite plain that com mission ffauses' had. orders tb *8uy from all dlreatlons. May was the iavorTte-op tion, a marked avoidance of September being noticeable. Quiet waa soon restored, however; but prices held Blronft through out the day. The near approach of the government report h^d some influence In restricting business, most people preferring to await its Issuance before committing themselves to either side. The strength during 6he morning was made more em phatic by the predictions of continued JTry ther, in Iowa and Nebraska:. Sep tember ,corn opened firm, sold down to closing at 56%. 1 cent higher; May cloned 1% higher than yesterday. Cush corn was 1* cent lower than yesterday. Oats were strong, but, as usual, 'the Strength Came Trom the^other markets. The firmness In corh aniT likewise in wheat were the factors. September oats Itael % of a cent higher than .yesterday. Cash oats were steady. No change in prices. “ — Provisions were easy early and firmer during the latter portion of the session. Packers were the principal sellers, al though the Inode was limited. The firm ness in corn made itself felt’ in products before the close. Prices sold higher and closed 5 Cents above yesterday Tor i>ep- temfber pork and ribs and 2% higher tor September lard. Cables were firm, and outside domestic markets were steady. Receipts wefe light and shipments were large. There waa very little done In the cash market. CASH QUOTATIONS. Flour was In better demand; the feel ing was flVmer and prices 10 cents higher. . No. 2 spring wheat, o5a57»; No. 2 red 55. No. 2 corn, 68%. No. 2 Oftts, 32%. Fork. 13.25a30. T.ard, 7.80.

The leading futures rafifrtff as follows: feverish as the past two days, though trading at time was somewhat rapid. There was a lot of small buying orders it the opening. The government' report tomorrow will give the condition of corn and spring wheat. A condition of 70 on corn will suggest a yield of 1.540.000.00^ bushels; .75. a yield of 1.662,000.000 ousn«M». Total clearances at all ports, bS.UUO. IlocH'l receipts 126 cars, against 150 for the same day last year. Closing firm at an ad vance of 1 to 1% cents from the lowest point. Oats were again heavy; Changes in corn apparently' had no effect on this market; prices remained nominal through out the entire session. Provisions opened weak at abont yes terday's close for speculative futures, advance yesterday has checked to a cer tain extent cash business. Damson Bros. & Co. -NAVAL STORES.
