CHICAGO, Aug. 5.—At the opening the wheat market showed some signs of weakness, September being unchanged to e lower at! | 96% @IT With the exception of favorable ‘weather, however, there seemed little to war- rant any alteration of the recent bullish atti- tude of traders. Prices at Liverpool were | again up about 1d compared with yesterday's close. Private advices trom the Northwest re- ported further damage by the rust blight. I fluenced by the strength in English market: soon after the opening, advancing the price of September to 98%c. A. quick reaction followed as a result of heavy Dprofit taking. On the break September de- clined to 96}5c. The bearish turn to the mar- ket was clinched by a report of a Minneapolis crop expert, who has within the past two weeks sent out numerous extremely bullish advices regarding the condition of spring wheat In the Northwest. According to the in- terview given out to-day by this authority, while wheat in the Dakotas and Minnesota 18 damaged by rust, there will be, on the whole, an excellent aggregate production with much variation in sample. Many reports received during the day from the Northwest, however, were flatly contradictory In tenor, The pit crowd seemed willing to belleve the worst that could be sald of the spring wheat crop, and in consequence little momentum was needed to again start prices upward. The advance met With small offerings until September had | reached 991¢c. Renewed liquidation, especially in the more Qistant futures, caused another reaction, September declining to 97%c. The market closed rather easy, with Sgptember at 9TXK@T 0 Profit taking by Eastern strumental in creating a w corn. The market closed we near the lowest point of the da: closed at 52t@52%c. The cats market followed corn in preference to wheat, a weak undertone being In evidence the greater part of the day. September closed at 33%c, the low figures. Provisions were weak ~mpathy with lower prices at the yards and on selling cre ited to local packers. Trading w olders was in- undertone in with prices September At the close September porl was off 17%c, lard was down 7T%@10c, ribs closed Tle lower. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles.

The actlon of the market for the day indicates considerable Mquidation, and this was no doubt due to the above report.

A continued active and un- settled market is llkely. Developments in the Northwest will be watched closely. Think we would buy Wheat on sharp breaks, Cable advices from {mportant European centers are most unfavorable as to general crop situation.” In this market futures did not respond to the Chicago excitement and were lower, and the sentiment of local operators was more bearish, The cash grain continued firm but quiet.
