CHICAGO, Sept 2L--Wheat started with
q slight recovery from yesterdays closing
prices, but after running for an hoar in
groove between the opening figure and &c
lower, it began to drop x, sufficient 10
make a fresh record. December. which
opened at IS lie and sold sparing at 55lz
ef5s4c, had declined before IL O'Clock to
54skc. May was a shade more difficult to
find buyers for than December and touched
59ss few moments in advance of the lat
tiers reaching the same basis. The OPEN
ing temporary firmness was caused By the
number of cars inspected in store, amount
ing 10 only Ia, compared with 200 esti-
mated yesterday. That, however, lost its
effect upon inquiry among the receiving
houses. IL was discovered that there still
existed the same difficulty IN getting cars
unloaded as has been complained OF for a
month back. Primary market receipts
were in the aggregate about 5000 bushels,
which showed some falling of, COM
pared with those of the day be-
fore. Foreign markets were weak. The
second weak spell was the result of a more
decided heaviness of corn at the time re-
ferred 10. Business had been very light
until the pressure TO sell December 81 54Jsc
became strong. and At the latter part Of
the session the pressure caused the trad
ing to become active and kept il so during
the following fifteen minutes, while il was
being beaten down to 54'sc. Reports of
liberal buying for export caused rally at
the finish and December closed a. 55lsc
Corn ruled heavy com pared with its clos
ing value of yesterday. There was some
resistance TO the decline on account Of the
receipts undermining the estimates by

bushels, were eli. $50. and this in com
parison With 544 1876 bushels received on
the corresponding dsy Of last year. The
