While the future market In New York
«nl Uverpoll last week reached a lower
point than ever known, and spots declined
[o under? cent. In New York, our mar-
ket naa held firm at almo.t unchanged
nrice. Owing to the peculiar condition,
of the surroundings, the Macon taetors

Today’s features—The news was In the
main bearish. The agricultural bureau
gave the condition as 91.8 per cent,
against 98.6 per cent, a month agosind
80.4 per cent, a year ago. This report
was nbbirt as expected, although the
condition of taxes surprised a good
many, showing, as It did, a decline of
the condition during July of 14 per cent.
Many operators here think thin ever
lasting the case. The Liverpool new*
was favorable to bearish Interests. Spot
cotton here was lower and In Liverpool
and New Orleans It was weak and less
active.

Chicago, Aug. 10.—Tho grain markets
looked more natural .oday than for many
daya. There wta a total absence of un
easy feeling and nervous action that clmr.
acterlu- them early In the week end
which had not fully disappeared yester
day. Sothe Interest was taken in wheat
on Its own merits today. Partridge cov
ered frtely, and goselp hod It that ho
woe not making any profits, as most sales
Were made 2 and 3 cents bolow the pres
ent range. The opening was strong, un
did- lnAuence of curly buying mn the curb
for some one whose name could not be
learned, but* which, it wee generally as
sumed, was for Partridge also. Later
there -was not so muen strength to the
market, due no doubt to th6 weakness
which had developed In corn. September
wheat opened 57a56H. sold down to 56,
closing at 6684. 84 Of a cent yesterday.
Cash wheat was In good demand, prices
avenging 84 to 1 cent per bushel loner.
Traders In corn had not so much to.
worry tTlcm today. There was more uni-
fdrmlty In prices and less excitement in
the pit. After the weather map waa con-
suited, however, there was some recovery
a. the com belt was still without mm
The trane became bewildered later ir
the day when the local observer end the
Washington bureau aenl conAlctlng Indi
cations for some of the states. The for
mer gave ahowers for Illinois, Minnesota
and Iowa, and the latter cent a direct
contradiction of that forecast, Tne Inde
cision of the. traders resulted In less ac
tivity, but on the belief that It waa time
for a reaction, If only a temporary one,
had come, these was a moderate decline
under some selling. The government re
port, which waa due today, constituted
another unknown quantity, and specula-
tore felt Inclined to wu” until It had be
come public before doing anything In the
market. May com opened at 54, sold be

terday at 6384*84. September clo*e4 1
under' yesterday. Cash corn was 85 per
bushel tower. _ .
' Oats were easier, but showed nothing
of Interest In their, trade. The weak
ness was due to tne similar feeling In
corn, only a light business being trans
acted. Cash oats were 84 ot * cent lower.
The country which has made such a
killing In com during the past couple o.
weeks, haa turned Its attention to prod
ucts and was buying the entire list today,
preferring the aJnuary delivery on every
thing. Hie basis of theiry theory ot bet
ter values for provisions Is the short

Chicago, “bg. sl.—Undej* the inlluence or
the extremely hot wave which pawed
over the country yesterday, And toreiga
cables^ repost higher markets abroad;
wheat opened firm at a aiignt advance
over yesterday’s close. Buying orders,
however, were scarce, and the market
became easy under realizing sales, de
clining about 1 cent per bushel. Local
receipts, o72 cars, against 475 estimated,
Primary, 879.000 bushels, against 5u».ux>
for the same day last year. Total clear
ances, about 859,000 wheat und Hour. Later
reports Trom New lork ot roreign ex*
port and speculative buying, the work
ing of one cargo of No. 2 spring direct
froth , here; also reports or negotiations
for several cargoes of red, put new me
into the trade. Trading was very mod
erate, 'with the market rpparenUy un
favorable to holders.
Corn was very active at the opening,
with prices a shade under yesterday s
close oh the rain here, out firmed up
some of a few buying . orders and . tne
weather map, which report* no rum tor
tho corn belt. The st7€ugth was mo
mentary, however, offerings being quite
liberal and country selling orders fr*»m
the soutnwest, Soupled with later reports
by the local forecast or good ruinc in
Iowa. Trade somewhat, quieter today and
apparently waiting the outcome of the
government reports this afternoon. Total
clearances, 11,090 bushels. Local reettpts,
IOC cars. New York 1 wires that It is im
possible to get a bid for cash corn. Cash
corn here: No. 3 sold at 55%; there was
a little better' demand toward the latter
part ot tne session, and the market firmed
up some on covering by proiesslonals,
wiho do not care to carry their scalping
operations over the government report.
Oats were heavy and depressed. Offer
ings were also quite liberal in this cereal.
Trading appeared to be more after the
character of corn than for the past two
days; and prices at the close showed a
loss of % from the opening. Receipts,
241 cars, ten cars in excess of the esti
mate.
Provisions opened firm at aibout yester
day's close. There was considerable ac
tivity, especially In January options. Of
ferings were light, and wliat little de
mand there waa managed to advance
prices at the yards to 10 to 20. cents.
