steadness IN the face of the rather trying situa-

cotton now changing hands involuntary, ad-
vantage would have been taken of the good
european demand to considerably diminish the
stock at this port, and one large firm who had
calculated to receive 10000 bales for export will
now either have to abandon the project or incur
another months storage. The Liverpool price
for September is about points up, showing the

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-There was pretty fair
trade in the aggregate IN wheat, though at
times the market ruled quiet While the feel
ing was more or less unsettled, there neverthe-
less appeared to be more disposition to buy on
the recent break; at.least operators manifested
more confidence. There was fair outside buy,
ing though some parties were of the opinion,
that trading was largely on local account The
opening was near and prices almost imme-
diately touched a point A019c below yester-
days closing, influenced by the dull and weak
tone of foreign advices, reported fine weather
abroad, and the estimated increase of 1,149 900
bushels of wheat on the ocean passage. AT the
reduction good buying checked further decline.
Quite a numher of outside orders were received,
and some buying was credited to foreign &C
count, though the amount was not large and
claimed to have been on Canadian account,
taken on a small reaction. The demand, never.
theless, had strengthening effect as did also
the report that the French President had Sub
mitted resolutions to the Chamber of Deputies
asking for a reduction OF the duty on wheat.
Prices were advanced 1ltc, then receded 16c,
and closed l6GD1c higher than yesterday. At
o'clock near the close, a rumor was circulated
that tne Cauduiau government was COnUefn-
plating a reversal of its wheat duty, which
caused an advance. There were few, If any,
new influences in the corn pit. Tradein futures
was governed somewhat as on Tuesday by the
demand for cash corn. To this was added on
the bull side some reports which gave rise to
fear of frost The market was strong all day,
and though the range was narrow, the closing
price of October was Ssc better than last night
May closed 3sSsc, showing an equal advance
with early futures. Oats were very dull and
at times elmost neglected. Provisions were
