CHICAGO. Aug 2l.-The wheat market was
quiet To the verge Of dulness to-day, but the
market ruled frmer throus bout. The latest
trading prices were 20 in advance Of the
close last night. Foreign advices are more
encouraging Receipts continue light, aud
there appears to be more active sh piping de-
mand. Under these influences ''shorts' were
more Inclined TO cover. and there was some
purchasing for long account. Vessel engage
ments were reported for $4,000 bushels, while
the receipts were only $1,000 bushels, against
l4S,O00 bushels for the same day one year ago
The bear sentiment, however, continued very
strong among room traders, and it is esti-
m ted that the short interest s large. The
market opened u shade hrmer, fell back again,
then rose to point sc higher than yesterday,
huctuated. ami cl SEQ on the regular board
NC higher than yesterday, and advanced an
additional &c on the afternoon board. The
market received most Of its early firmness
from reports from the Northwest, where
threshing is in progress, stating that the
yield is much smaller than last year and less
than expected. The corn market opened
hrmer, influenced some by the early hrmness
in wheat, prices advancing 1z9Hc, but large
estimated receipts for tomorrow brought out
free offerings, and prices receded 1000,

night, and closed 1+iG3<c higher than yester-
day. Trading in oats Is less activ-, and after
