Chicago, Aug. 29.—Weather again to-
day was the dominating feature of the
wheat market and caused weakness
on the local exchange. At the close
wheat for the December delivery was
down l-8c to l-4c; corn was practi-
cally unchanged; oats were up l-4c;
provisions unchanged to 6c higher.
Trading In the wheat pit was very
quiet and the market was inclined to
be weak all day, closing easy. Minne-
apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 155 cars, against 161 last
week and 285 a year ago.
The feature of the corn market was
a lively demand, for the September op-
tion by shorts and cash houses. The
close was steady. Receipts, 170 cars,
with 99 of contract grade.
Despite liberal primary receipts, the
oats market was inclined to firmness
on a fair demand by cash houses. The
close was steady. Local receipts, 166

again today, with the active months
making new low levels for the sea-

The opening was barely steady at a
decline of 6 to 8 points in response to
lower cables and favorable weather in
