Hubbard. Price G. Co. S cotton circular says
| Weakness in August continued during the day,
| and the market was depressed mainly through
the efforts of bears, and stop orders, being
| touched at decline, proceeded. No support
| seemed to be offered to the market by the bull
| party until they purchased quite line of cot
| ton. Opinions continue to be at sea regarding
| the decline. Many still believe it is only scoop
| to prevent further shipments to this market
| and to replace at lower prices the sales have
| spoken of In our previous letters Later posi-
| lions have been greatly weakened by reports of
| number of September purchases made on the
day of issuance of the bureau report

| CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Business on Change was
resumed with considerable vigor this morning
and the tendency of prices for reals and hos
| products was upward. Action was slow, but
| was marked by little nervousness and no re-
| actions. Wheat started out early active and
! strong, but as the session advanced a buish
| feeling developed, and at thirty-seven minutes
| before the close the prices of all futures were
| advanced NC, with the crowd clamoring for
| wheat and not great bulk Of it for sale The
| news was not altogether bulsh, but that made
| no difference. The activity and strength of the
| morning took September close to S5c from
| which there was a reaction TO 844c on quiet
! spell before the visible supply was made known.
while reports from the Northwest were con
| fiicting. Some more sensational kilograms
| from Duluth aud elsewhere helped the bullsh
! feeling, and about noon prices advanced quite
| briskly about &c. Wheat closed very strong on
reports from the Northwest. The closing prices
show IN advance OF nc for the day. The corn
market was dull and heavy, and closed abe ut
steady az Saturdays prices. There would no
doubt have besn lower range of prices but for
the great strength in wheat. Early in
the session September sold from 4456c
ND TO 45c but when cars for tomorrow were
estimated at rs there was a sharp decline to
44Ssc, from which there was gradual rally,
an1 closed at 44s4c. Oats were slow and futures
we're 16GlIc easier in sympathy with corn
Lard was but few cents higher, but Short ribs
and mess pOrk were pulled NY HI. local crowd
