that owing to the rule which makes all

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-There was bat

was very conflicting, and both bulls ana
bears determined to carry the market.
Liverpool cables came I'D off for spot
and futures, and receipts here were l45

In the shock. Buying orders were also
received from that source. There was
a rumor also that liberal export bust
ness had set in at New York. On this
sort of news and good buying, led by
Baker & Co. and Logan & Co.. prices
rallied "a cents from the low figures on
the first decline. This was the top
for the day, although the clos
ing price yesterday was barely
touched. The market acted heavy
in spite of good support, and at the end
of the first hour the price of December
was off 1c from the top, and held stub
bornly around the putt price of last
night, Once this was passed there was
a sharp break &c lower, and after
rally, about 1890, another break carried
the price to the lowest point touched up
to l o'clock, and 21lc under the close
yesterday. The bear influences were
weak and lower cables, no new export
business at New York or other points.

was fairly steady for an hour after the
