The prai rie farmers estimated the average condi tion of the corn crop on August 1st, at 75 per cent, indicating a yield of some thing under 1,700,000 bushels, but said it was not possible to state what further load had, taken place during the first ten toys of the current month and drought having continued that much longer. May com opened form 514 to &1, advanced to 634, closing at 534a4*-44sH higher than yesterday. September closed 24 cents higher than yesterday. Cash corn was in good demand and 2 to 24 cents per tyishel higher. Oats followed the larger markets, but very dull business wa» done, the open ing was easy, but prices ruled firm during the day. There was no feature to specu* lation. September closed H cent higher today than yesterday. Cash oats were strong, values being quoted from 4 to lc. higher than yesterday. Provisions—Dealing in the market for hog products was affected by the contin ued strength In the market for tho live animals at the yards, as well as by the good feeling In corn. That cereal has a direct bearing on the provision market and the countiy, knowing the conditions of the grain, are prone to buy the product. The close was 10 cents higher for January pork and 5 cents higher for January lard, and January ribs. Receipts were fair and shipments large. There was a good cash demand.
