Chicago, Aug. 16.—There was no pre
tense for an advance in wheat today, bo
It declined. 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

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
prevented from rfufferlng a decline, in full
accord with those grains.
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.

LAMSO^S GRAIN LETTER.
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.

This Is not the first time tlfe professor

professor, though perhaps a crank; but

was very finely educated, and was
taught at an academy In Gratz, Qer.

In whtoh he makes predictions* Falb
has visited South America to Htudy
o-.u\hquiike.*, and lie believes l.h it this
earth Is full of molten fire, which runs
in tides under tho moon's influence and
makes earthquakes.
lie has pr*<||.-te<l one or t*vo earth
quakes in sections where earthquakes
had already started, and ns these came
to pass nil right he built up a gre.it
repuiuntlon on them as a predictor.
In addition to tho earthquake In New
