CHICAGO, July 31.-Although the markets
were very active and unsettled to-day, and
were made still more SO by uncertain weather,
there was less excitement than would natur-
ally be expected with the elimination of three
great corners in wheat, corn and oats. No. 2
spring wheat was the most active and exciting
of all the markets, and bidding was lively for
that scarce article. Bulls steadily refused
tenders of No. 2 red, a higher grade, and de-
manded the "full pound of flesh" The clos
ing price of Saturday, $l.34, was advanced
after few settlements made early
in the day to $l.36. 1t then dropped back for
prudential reasons to Sl.33, at which many
settlements were effected; then by cent leaps
reached $l.36 again, where it stood until the
closing hour, after which eighteen minutes
were allowed for trading. The shorts franti-
cally bid that figure and one or two made the
decker at 1.3615. A settlement committee
will be appointed at once to fix the settle
ment price, which will, it is generally believed,
be Sl.10, though many look for a lower
figure. The prevailing figure to-day,
as confirmed by the committee,
would produce many law suits.
New barley was received on Change TO day.
