to Liverpool dull and firm; cotton steam I'D;
Chicago, July Wheat slumped &c.
bushel to-day, but recovered &c. of the loss.
Corn closed &c. lower than last night. APP
parently baseless rumors of more financial
troubles locally We're chiefly responsible In
addition to the trade il was hoped the mes
sage would contain some suggestion of means
to Immediately relieve the present condition
pending the deliberate discussion of perma-
nent remedy. Provisions acted strong on
light receipts of hogs and closed considerably
higher for lard and ribs, but at the last mo
ment pork weakened and closed with loss
Of some toto l2isc. Wheat at the opening
was about the same as yesterdays closing to
a a. go lower and with some fluctuation,
prices further declined iAc. for Sep
tember and lbc for December,
then fuctuated some and
the closing was about 15sc lower for Sep
TENDER and / Ii lower for December. An I'M
usual feeling existed, and the result was fur
Their liquidation. Notwithstanding the guam
tity of wheat and flour on ocean passage
there was a decrease of ,632, 900 bushels. Re
ports of S35 600, 900 more in gold coming to
America, and the Illinois crop report being
decidedly unfaVOrahle, reporting the yield
per acre the smallest since 1880, and the crop
the smallest harvested for years. There
was some shipping demand, and some lots
were worked for export, and more, il
is said, would have been done but
for the difficulty in selling
exchange. Corn opened firm, the hot
and dry weather everywhere having
at Il q sc advance. The market,
however Immediately sold off declining a
1c. 'onsunfOmded rumOrS coming from New
York of fresh financial troubles here, and in
sympathy with wheat The price worked up
again about as quickly as 1t had declined, re-
covered one half of the break on the predic-
tfons from Washington that showers We're in
dlcated for Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa.
The market changed some, ruled easier, and
distant deliveries were "A a nc lower the
selling of September and buying of October
being feature. Prices for oats fiuctuated
SIC, and the close was weak at nearly inside,
with net loss of Il a 3sc. The depression
that affected other grains was the chief cause
for the recession In oats. Although eastern
shippers of hogs were out of the market,
owing to the collapse of the exchange the re-
ceipts of live animals were not enough to
meet the demand, which came chiefly from
local packers. The result was firmness in the
provision market, although there was only a
light trade compared with last night, Lard
is from 20 to 22Zc higher and ribs from 10
to 15c. better. Pork was firm until just at
the close when IL went of at 2.25 per barrel.
Freights were dull and weak. 1 Nc asked
for wheat and 1c for corn to Buffalo. Esti-
mated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat 95 cars,
corn, 300 cars; oats, 100 cars; hogs, 1900
