| Hubbard, Price & Co. s cotton circular says:
Buying Of August by short interest continues
with the result of forcing prices to the highest
| point so Tar touched on this advance, although
transactions for the day have not been heavy.
| Trading has been limited nearly exclusively TO
immediate positions, the new crop being more
or less neglected. Very little if anything new
was developed. but the advancing movement
Tor August contracts conveyed the impression
OF concerted effort to work the market up to
give II stimulating influence at the reopening
OF business at Liverpool tomorrow. Influenced
| by favorable advices by the growing crop, late
months we're offered with much freedom and
declined 405 points below Saturdays close,
| however, showing more steadiness, with par
tial recovery of points "

CHICAGO, Aug 6.-The wheat market was
unsettled to-day, with higher prices early, fol
lowed by decline, which, however, only sent
prices fraction below Saturdays figures. The
crowd was bullish on the whole, and fought the
decline. Two or three things tended to increase
the number OF sellers. Primary receipts were
liberal-over 100000 bushels-at ten points,
while export clearances were small-only IS, 900
bushels wheat and bat g., 900 bushels wheat and
flour from Atlantic ports This was very dis
couraging after the reports of liberal taking
for export. Wheat continued to grow stronger
toward the close, and at l p. m September
closed at S49Sc, 3ec under the best point for the
day, SIC over the close on Saturday This was
encouraging TO the bulls, who feared that the
market was going to smash early. There was
a good volume of trading in corn early, and
prices not only opened fractonally higher, but
there was a slight advance in sympathy with
everything else on the floor About II a. m.
there was break of nearly 1c, caused by the
estimate of SEQ cars for tomorrow and by the
pounding in wheat. A rally of NC still later
left the price of September at the close Ac I'M
der Saturday at 45>sc, and an unsettled feeling
developed in provisions. A fair volume of bust
ness was transacted, the bulk being local
September pork broke from S14 as to S14 25
but reacted, and closed at the same prices as
Saturday-$14 30014 321b. Lard developed
more strength, the trading at times being large.
September sold at SIS 8501S 921A, and closed at

Short ribs closed DC higher at Sc 37D4 New
oats were in fair demand for shipment. but
