Chicago Grain Market. > | CHICAGO, Aug. eteadiness at the 30.—Wheat displayed more opening than conditions really warranted. Temperatures were reported from the extreme Northwest low enough to cause some apprehension of damage by frost in minds of local traders, and this caused a moderate amount of covering by shorts, re- sulting in a brief display of strength. Sep- tember opened a shade higher at 70@70%c; De- cember opened unchanged at 72c and advanced to T2%e. It was evident, however, that in the | Northwest no fear of damage was felt, the | markets in that section being comparatively weak, and the Weather Bureau report later | dispelled all fears by predicting warmer | weather. The inclination of bears to continue pounding the market was strengthened, and under rather free selling by the professional clement prices slowly but surely sagged. The | inevitable dull period during the middle of the session found the market at its weakest, prices being under puts, and even then receiving but little_support. December sold down to Tlige, and September to 69%e, around which prices | hung for some time. “Around noon the market brightened up a little on the reports of port clearances, 270,000, and indications for g0od ex- port business to-morrow, and later the market became positively strong and advanced rapidly when a shary advance in grain rates to take effect September 1S was announced.

September and De- cember each closed %c to %c higher. Provisions were heavy and closed at slight declines. The market was influenced early by the grain weakness and did not rally. The shipping demand was poor and Liverpool re- ported declines. There was scattered Septem- ber liquidation all day.

The circular of Somers & Co. says of Hay: “There has been some difficulty of late in marketing Hay by rail. Because of heavy shipments traffic has been somewhat blocked, 50 that now the tracks being full in the rail- road yards on this side of the bay, much Hay is held over in the Oakland vards. The re- ceipts by rail to-day show the result of this, five cars being the total new arrivals. “As the season advances most shippers are | 1@1se | tub, 21@22¢ p | chest: Walla can be worked at 3%@6c and new crop at 38G5Stec.

Tt will take fully a month longer to get matters in_proper shape. The cheaper grades of Hay are more in evidence right now than they have been since the opening of the season. A car of strictly choice Wheat Hay is somewhat of a rarity now, the bulk of the arrivals being from falr to good Wheat and Oat Hay. In fact, we cannot quote definitely on a silt-edge article, for thus far this week It Is not to be had In the market. “For the immediate future of the marKet our idea is that both choice Wheat and choice red or black tame Oat Hay will sell readily and for fair figures. The medium grades will prob- ably decline somewhat—perhaps e per ton from the present range.
