Chicapn Markets.

A fairly active business was transacted
in the markets on Change to-day but
the feeling was somewhat unsettled and
values were irregular at the established
range. Trading was principally on
speculative account, and confined main
" to options, though some cash grain
was taken tor shipment, the freight en-
gagements comprising 10000 bushels
wheat and 234 900 bushels corn. At the
opening the feeling for the leading
cereals was quito weak. and a decline OF
l-2 to S-4c per hushel was established
for wheat and corn, but this decline was
atterward more than recovered, while
the smaller grains ruled quite strong
throughout the entire day. with a slight
advance paid in some cases. The ilae
weather and rather u~niavorable tone nj
European advices were the reasons as
signed for the weakness, while the more
encouraging news from New York, and
a better speculative inquiry. caused the
reaction and II subsequent advance. The
receipts were moderate, while the ship
ments were somewhat larger than usual,
especially OF corn. and this had 4 mark
ed effect on values. Operators also ap-
peared more inclined to purchase at the
early reduction. while the desire to
realize was correspondingly less, and
during the closing hour of the session
the feeling was tolerably steady and firm
though the extreme figures reached were
not maintained. Flour was in TIME
better request and steady at former quo
tations. Spring wheat opened veal

the inspection for tomorrow exhibited
no improvement, the bulk of the arrival

firmness, and the market closed abou

Mr.. EDITORIALS | have taken your
paper almost n year. and haven't seen
any report from Wright county, | will
send you C
We had frost Aug. the 2lst hat killed
the corn and vines in several places
The wheat crop was the best We have
had tor years past, but the rains for the
last two weeks have damaged it very
much. The grain that was set up in
round shocks, and thoroughly capped,
is not hurt much, but thatin long shocks
is about ruined. Some in the stack Is
hurt more or less.
Corn that wasn't hurt by the frost
looks well; ten or fifteen days more
without frost will make it all right.
Oats are tirst-rate; potatoes good
moi many bugs; no hoppers.
The Bill King Republicans have very
little to say this fail, and they are get
