CHICAGO. Sept 1.-THE action in wheat to-
day was most natural one. Markets else where
were weaker and the sentiment bearish. The
cable news was of the sort TO make operators
sell long" wheat. There was great quantity
OF long whea: and some 'short" wheat sold
here, but whenever the price got down to the
opening figure there appeared to be string to
it. just when the crowd thought good de-
cline had set In the market would become frmer
and react &c. The range for the greater part OF
the session was but :, but the track was trav-
eled over very often, especially just around vi
for December Whether the strength came
from clever manipulation. or whether it was a
uniform change of sentiment In favor OF
buying on the breaks, every time
December got down to about 90s, it
got boost from somewhere sometimes stop
ping at 9lsc, again at 9ltc, and once reaching
9l4c. the outside for the session. October sold
at S9s 90c, and May ut 95s a este. Primary re-
points fairly good. Wheat closed at o'clock at
about the pivotal point Of the day. 9OI 09lc for
December; May closed at 95ic. In corn active
speculative trade was witnessed, the transac-
tons being on larger scale than for some time,
and lower range of prices was established.
The feeling at the opening was weak, owing TO
the receipts being nearly 100 cars above expec-
tations. and this feeling was intensified when
the estimates for tomorrow were made known
-12o cars. This was the main cause for the
weakness Of the near futures. The more de-
ferred deliveries were quite active and weak on
prospects Of a large yield, now that the growing
crop 10 reported pretty generally out OF danger
OF frost Operations were q large scale, and
the market all day was the scene Of activity.
The market opened ct about the closing prices
of yesterday, sold of &c. reacted 4e, then grad
ually declined l3c, and reacted 10, but again be-
came weaker. and closed with the near futures
16ltc ana the more deferred months d 20
lower than yesterday. Hany operators who
have been inclined to favor this cereal Of late,
were reported being liberal sellers to-day,
and this, together with the offerings of the local
crowd, created weakness, and considerable
'long' property WAS sold. Several operators
who trade in wheat were identified with the sell
ing interest around the opening. Under
the influence of weak corn market
and the prospect OF heavy receipts, oats were
heavy and weak, with decline or ia &c.
It was another dull day in the provision pit
The opening was rather weak and little lower,
in some instances, the nervousness owing TO the
fear of yellow fever spreading being the prime
factor producing this effect. Mess pork recov-
cred part of its loss, closing at o'clock at
Il 20c. and l3 az for October aud January. or
5 0l2ic lower than last nights close. Lard was
strong most OF the time for October, closing at
SHE while January lost Toe. closing at 8 02tc.
Ribs sold of little for nearby months, Janu-
airy recovering I'm the former and closing OF 10
for the latter and 4 Coo for October. Al the af-
ternoon session wheat was active and strong,
ranging between 9Osc and 9l!c for December.
Corn was in fair demand aod prices STEADY.
Oats were in moderate request and hrmsr. Pork
advanced PC for October, but ruled unchange d
for later deliveries. Lard was steady for Octo-
Der, .02lc lower for Novem Der, and unchanged for
later futures. October short ribs advanced .02tc.
