There was only a common place trade, with support coming mainly from the holders of puts. The only other lying which attracted was by J. C. Schwarz, who was successful in bis bull campaigns In corn and oats, whereas the selling was distributed among all classes f traders. Pardrldge sold; so did Armour. The scalpern were playing the short side, while receivers and elevator men were hedging against purchases of cash wheat made In the country. Acceptance of bids at country points were greater than for days past, which fact indk-aUd less confidence in the situation. September wheat opened from 65% to 54%, declined to 54%a%, rallied a fraction, closing at 54%a5$, %a% under yesterday. Cash wheat was In good demand, elevator people buy ing. Shippers bought No. 3 red at 2% under September prices. Prices averaged 1 cent lower than yesterday. Corn—The usual batch of buying orders in corn was conspicuously absent at the opening of the market today. The coun try had evidently reached its limit and was unwilling to run any further risk by loading up at the high prices, only to sell at a passible loss, ’xnere was avery m arked decline In the Interest among the focal trade, too. It was hard to say what exerted the leading influence, but the prevalence of rain In parts of the corn belt was as Important as onytuing else. During the day there was a big line bought during the flurry of last week, that reached Its stop loss limit and conse quently went overboard. This was any. thing but encouraging to the trade, de« trading from the chances for a recovery. May corn opened from 53 to 52%, sold between 63%a52%, closing at 52%a%, % of a cent undes yesterday. In the cash market shippers were good buyers of yel low and white .corn. Prices were % of a cent lower than yesterday. The oat mar ket sympathized in some degree wl^h wheat and corn, but at the same fliM'w rOVPARATITK RTATWBXT. iti*.T RLlXIPTS. i-s s & & a if Hi* I. tMordif Vccfltji J2W 2106 nisi sm 721| 2022 m HU 9J0 1184 74G b73 TiW'iay 1Ycdne»d*jr....»....

Oat inspections have been quite free of late, and are beginning to attract atten tion to the beneilt of values. September oats closed. % of a cent under yesterday. Cash oats were Arm early, but later ruled easier. Aft in grains, there was also a decline in provisions. The hog market was lower, and the quality of the live animals (a very Important matter In the manufact ure of products) better. This was the primary cause of the weakness In the market, but In addition to the weakness In corn played an important part. Prices ranted a little from the Inside, but at the close January pork had lost 5 cents and January lard and ribs each a frac tion. CASH QUOTATIONS.

Special Wire to Lyons & James. Chicago, Aug. 16—Wheat weakness was displayed throughout the entire session. Prices were % to % lower at opening. English cables showed a ready response to the depression here yesterday, quoting Liverpool 1 to 2 lower. The country has apparently filled up, commission houses having selling orders for outside account. The cash trade reports a sudden increase In the country acceptance of bids sent out from here last night more than double the ddfcr before. This has given rise to free selling of September against cash wheat bought <Jn the country. The heavy condition of wheat prevented vigorous selling, and prices gradually declined. New York has been a seller, and reports lower markets with a falling off of export de mand for cash wheat. Foreign hou*es have manifested little Interest on this side. Abet Rey says: “The French wheat cr<q> will exceed domestic requirements by 25,000,000 to 30,000.000 bushels.” Cables were easier. Receipts for tomorrow estimated at 750 cars; primary receipts still largo. Corn—Trade at the opening was less than for the past few days; prices about 1 cent lower than yesterday. The only demand was a few buyings orders for outside account. Offerings were large, and with the liquidation of 300.000 bushels on stop orders by a local house, prices grad ually declined, .May touching 62%. There 1ms not been enough done In this line yet to have any effecton corn. While the feeding of 50.000.000 Jjushels of wheat might cause an advance In wheat, it would have very little effect on the price of corn. Totay has been a continuation of general liquidation, and a reaction from the bull movement of the past week Still no encouragement for Investors. Oats—Steady and fair; trade heavy at Provisions—Brisk at the opening; prices a shade under yesterday’s close. Packers led in the Belling; offerings, however, light, and prices remained about nominal throughout the session. Lam son Bros. & Co.
