| Hubbard, Price & Co.'S cotton circular says
| Liverpool advices this morning indicated a
| direct desire upon the part of September shorts
to cover. aided doubtless by demand of those
American shippers who have freely sold good
grades of September clearance from America,
and are unable to procure grades required be-
cause OF damage to and lateness of the grow
ing crop Southern advices report an improve
| nient in the quality of receipts, but the move
| ment of the crop to market does not yet show
the increase looked for. Our market has re-
| manned very dull, showing bearish feeling by
a slight decline. Great curiosity is experienced
| as to the result Of the account of stock in
Liverpool, the statement being expected to-
morrow"

| CHICAGO, Sept. ga genuine surprise was in
| store for operators in wheat in this market to-
day. and it developed in the shape of a material
| advance in price, where many operators had
| expected a decline. September was advanced
| 2pc over the closing price of yesterday, or to
l 81 %, with large settlements made at 81 25.
This was the principal feature of the day but
| none the least unexpected was the advance of
| 314c in October, 214c in December and 116c in
| Nay. The entire list scored an advance and the
\ feeling was greatly unsettled. Feverish excite
| ment characterized the trading. The opening
| was weak and early trading 101Ac below the
closing figures of yesterday, then followed
numerous small fluctuations, after which the
| market became strong and advanced A6D14c at
a time for deferred futures, until the advance
| above noted was established, while September
| in fact, there was not much wheat to be had
| until the 81 70 mark was reached. Shorts were
amazed at the turn of affairs. Operators also
| commenced to argue that if September was so
easy Of manipulation, what might the shorts
| for October expect, and this created sharp de-
mand for that future, which carried prices In
| &c above those ruling for December. Receipts
| Of contract wheat are very small, most of the
| receipts reported here being billed through. IL
was also rImored that Minneapolis millers were
bidding for old W beat held here, which rumor
helped TO strengthen the already unsettled feel
| ing Foreign advices quoted dull and heavy
| markets, Liverpool being lower and London
| quoted cargoes on passage as weaker. Domestic
