Chicago Grain Market. @ CHICAGO, Aug. ® 7.—The most prominent fea- ture of wheat trading throughout the entire session was its exceeding dullness. Interest in trading, never very great during the hot sum- mer months, dwindled to insignificant propor- | tions to-day, and the sum total of the mes- sion's transactions was hardly as great as has frequently been seen during a lively half hour. Variations in the price were confined to a nge of %c in September and but a shade over that in the more distant futures. September opened %c to %e lower at 69e. Weather in | the spring wheat belt was favorable and this | caused a little languid selling at first, enough to put the price at 6%. The favorable weather was in a measure offset by reports of disap- pointing yields from various points and by bad op reports from European countries. A mod- vering movement ensued, carrying Sep- | tember to 69%c. Up to the noon hour the price kept close to that figure, but after that time the neglected market developed more weakness, September getting back to 6% again. This was 7 and several little rallles occurred inst the privileges, but the sup- was unsubstantial and the market invari- °k to the even figure. The cash | demand was small and New York reported only ten boatloads taken for export. Primary re- ceipts continued large, the total being 756,000 bushels. ~ September was bringing 6ic at the Corn activity cellent erate ¢ | port ably worked some degree of the ex was rregular, with The market opened weak o crop conditions and large crop estl The cash situation was strong, and iber showed a substantial advance at one d more ! time.

The market was in- almost_entirely by September closed unchanged. Provisions were dull, but rather steady, in view of a break in hog prices, showing weak- ness early; recovered later and closed steady. The demand for meats good. Packers were corn. moderate sellers. At the close September pork was 2ize lower, lard a shade lower and ribs a shade higher. The leading futures ranged as follow: Open. High. Low. Close. December . May e ——— = Portland’s Business.

WHEAT—Chicago opened dull, with a down- ward tendency in the absence of support. The sentiment was extremely bearish and the weather was favorable for the Srowing crops Small Russian shipments were the only encour- aging feature. Later on the market steadied somewhat under Continental bids, as Spain and Portugal were aga!n buyers, but the rallying tendency was checked by an’ increase of 910,000 bushels In the visible supply. Exporters, how- ever, seemed to expect a good business before long. The weather was reported perfect for orn.

Bobby has just reached English compo- sition in his school, and his father is a newsparer man, who prides himself on his concise style. Bobby came home from school the other day in high glee because his teacker had praised his composition on George Washington. He showed ihe production to his father with pride, but was somewhat crestfallen at his parent’s criticism: . “Too many words. my son. Too many words altogether. Why can’t your teach- ers instruct you how to express your jdeas tersely? Now, ‘Iusl sit down at that table, take this pencii, cut out every word you can spare without leaving out a single idea, and if your mother does not agree with me that the result is better than this composition which your teacher praises, I'll give you half a dollar.” The lad took the pencil and fell to work while his father read the paper. After a long time Bobby brought the heavily scored manusecript to him, saying: “It was hard work to keep in something on every one of the things Washingtqn is famous for, dad. but I guess I did it. This is how the result read: “George Washington became the father of his country because he had no little boy of his own to whip for cutting down cherry trees, and he is remarkable ummg American statesmen because he wouls no;‘ tell a le.”” sdealitn amma_ awardes e hal Bobby.—New York Tribune.
