The chief influence was the disappointing attitude of Liverpool, which showed only a slight advance in the face of the local bullishness vesterday. This indifference, it is supposed, was due largely to much-needed rains in India and to the generally favorable Continental prospects. The decline ‘was brief. Shorts, nervous from yesterday’'s domestic de- clopments, and still largely uncovered, were active buyers at the opening decline. The | Northwest also bought, and as selling was scattered the price advanced rapldly to 7i%c for September. The prospect of small world shipments was an ald to the ‘market. weather in the wheat-growing sections was re- ported favorable to crops, especially in the | Southwest, but this had little effect on the ap- parently oversold market. After the shorts had absorbed enough for _their ased off somewhat, September declining to decline and the close was strong at 10%c, at t May was traded in to some extent and showed a closing advance of %c. Corn was steady, with only a moderate bus ness, September closing unchanged. Oats were dull and prices kept within a nar- row range, closing unchanged for September. Provisions were firm at the opening and clos- ing, with a weak interval between, caused by realizing and selling by packers. The market was sustained by an advance in hogs and the | Strength of the grain markets. At the close | September pork was 5c higher, lard unchanged | and ribs 21c higher.
