CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE opening on 'change
to-day was remarkable for activity in all quar-
tiers, and unusual strength in most leading ar
ticles of trade and speculation. Liverpool diff
fered from London and the continent in send
ding easier cables on wheat, while the reverse
was true on Saturday. The Northwest was re-
sponsible for the sensational strength in Octo-
Der wheat. AT Duluth there was bulge of &c
from the close of last week. The market was
q whirl from the start. October shot up to
1890 early, and December advanced to 391Zc,
1c higher: then there was a reaction of about
1zc, and again December went up TO 933<e, with
a second decline of tc 9314c, after the visible
supply figures were given out. Later in the
session all natural influences were disregarded,
and December was put to 943sc fifteen minutes
before the close, making an advance of &c for
the session. Wheat closed at l o'clock at 94c
for December. Other futures closed: Sept.
951<c; Oct $3.50; May, 972<c. A fair specu-
lative trade was reported in corn, and the feel

at Saturdays closing prices and firm, and gradu-
ally advanced sSc, reacted &c, advanced &c,
ruled steady and closed HGssc higher than
Saturday. The market opened contrary to the
expectation OF many operators, offerings beng
rather limited, aad prices were advanced
mainly on recovering by shorts. Oats were
steady to firm. Receipts were considerably
above Saturdays estimate, but there was good
shipping demand, and wet weather tended to
stimulate O firm feeling. Sample lots accord
lngly were somewhat firm for the better grades.
Ordinary qualities of No. 2 not improved. Mess
pork was fairly active at the opening. A strong
feeling developed and prices advanced sharply.
Opening sales were at 2lz915c above Saturday 8
close, appreciated zoe on October and TIC on
January reacted slightly and closed steady
and was the most attractive article on the spe-
cial list of provisions. Holders were not dis
posed 10 sell, but shorts" were exceedingly
anxious to cover their October contracts and
began bidding spiritedly. Opening sales were
at 10c advance, and were bid up to ENC by
brokers, who only succeeded In getting 900
tierces. The more deferred futures came in
for more attention, and trading was at times
active, and closed showing good advances.
Short ribs were in light request and firm early,
but became weaker and closed with most OF
the advance lost During the afternoon session
there was a sensational furry in September
wheat, the price going TO 9Slzc on the filling
of a few small orders, but it broke again 10
961<c almost Immediately. There were free
realizing sales of December and May. Corn
steady with unimportant changes in prices
Oats were moderately active and steady. Oc-
tober pork declined sc, November was un.
changed and January shade lower. Septem-
