Chicago, Aug. 3.-An estimate of the
Kansas crop of wheat. which was made
public a week ago, was printed in the Mod
ern Miller this morning and the local
crowd jumped to the conclusion that II
was something new, and in the anxiety
10 buy wheat on Vt, prices were rushed mp
a cent from opening quotations, which were
weak and lower than those of Yesterdays
close. When Vt dawned on the traders that
they had been resurrecting stale news,
values were allowed to recede to the start
ing point and from that time until the
close little strength or firmness developed
although moderate rally from the inside
took place on a few covering purchases
Notwithstanding the very light receipts
at this place during the past week, 1t is a
iact, deserving of mention, that they eX-
cceded the shipments by 1888 bushels
Bradstreets reported shipments from for
week Of l,460W0 bushels. an Improvement
but a slight one, over the previous seven
days. As this was a bank holiday in
England there were no cables from that
country, Wheat opened at from 6S3sc to
6Slsc, sold between G9hc and 67l2c, closing
at 6ItsQ6Sc-9sc under yesterday. Cash
wheat was weak and lie per bushel lower
Corn dropped lower in the scale to-day
The increased movement and the estimat-
cd for Monday had disagreeabie effect
on the minds of those interested in main
tanning and advancing prices, whilst a
shorts" was noted September. which a
couple Of days ago was evidently primed
for big advance, was to-day seeking buy
ers at almost any price within reason
There was less talk of possible manipu-
lation heared to-day. No foreign advances
were received, owing to the English holt
day. September corn opened at 42c, sold
between 429sc and Hsc, closing at 4l580
4lAc-ldl1sc under yesterday. Cash corn
was in poor demand, and weaker. Prices
averaged 1 cent lower than yesterday.
oats moved along with wheat and corn,
without undue furry or excitement The
trade was principally local. Some longs"
sold out and few shorts enlarged their
lines moderately. September oats closed
PC under yesterday. Cash oats were easy
and about l4c per bushel lower.

transacted fell far short of an ordinary

almost lifeless condition. A higher hog
