Hubbard Price & Co. 8 cotton circular says:
Liverpool came this morning at one point ad-
vance, and our market opened at about the
close of yesterday People who were on tptoe
OF expectation with regard to August develop
ments We're destined to be disappointed, in a
measure, as the final close of the deal at 12 sc
was mild and gentle compared with the attaina-
Die possibilities of the CLIQUE, and in this con-
nection 1t is fair to say that the gentlemen in
whose power 1t was 10 take any advantage OF
their position are deserving of much credit for
the moderation they have displayed throughout,
september contracts have been we'll maintained,
the absence of notices inspiring renewed conf
dence, as manufacturers abroad are apparently
anxious to repenish their stocks and II is fair
prediction, In view of the general situation that

basis OF middling. High and advancing ocean
rates OF freight make sales abroad rather diff
cult at the moment. From several southern
points we are advised that the movement is
very SLOW and the quality unsatisfactory, and
IL seems as II the stand made by planters
against bagging trusts is hkely to interpose an
other obstacle in the way of an early move

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-While all ether exchanges
in the country opened wheat lower this morn
ing, prices were rather steadier and slightly ad-
vanced here. The struggle between bulls and
bears here was close and serious European ad
vices were neither bullish nor beaIish. Early
cables gave slightly lower tendency to British
markets, and exporters were either waiting or
selling little. There was raid early, which
took both September and December from 9234c
to 923sc. This was followed by reaction to
94c for September and 9S3zc for December on
covering by shorts created on the break, and
prominent operator buying of September, that
future, after touching 929sc went to 9416c about
noon. December also started up from 1886
bottom figures, but did not get above 931bc, and
thirty minutes before the close futures were 1c
apart, with September at 1880 and December
at 92Ac. Wheat closed with December 16c
lower than last night, and September at ic
premium and 11sc higher than last night Early
in the day there was fair business in corn
but later it became more quiet. There appeared
to be a rather firm undertone, the feeling gem
orally being stronger. and no large lines were
offered. At the opening the market was Nc
higher than the closing prices of yesterday,
was easy for time ana sold off &c, became
flrmer and advanced BIC, reacted Ic, ruled
easier and closed about the same as yesterday.
There was considerable changing noticed from
September into October, when they were at the
same price. though the latter month was gen
orally at slight discount. The main feature
in oats was lc advance In August causing other
deliveries to range 1sc higher The market
later ruled quiet, and closed &c for August and
nc better for other futures Pork was active
1T wide irregular, and a lower range of prices
Holders were more disposed to realize and
offered 10 sell with increased freedom At the
opening buyers were scarce, and first sales
were at 15920c decline. Large lines of Sep
TENDER held on stop orders at 214 were forced
out, and holders in many instances having to
sell at Sc below this limit. A reduction of zoe
from opening figures followed, when buyers
came in and quick rally of 3213c resulted.
Later the market was nervous and declined 15c,
but rallied 221ac, and closed steady. Lard was
active but lower opening at 21907}1c decline,
with September the weakest. October declined
15c An advance of 501oc followed. Short
