CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. Wheat suffered an
other loss in value to-day simply for the reason
that in the news there was no help for the bulls
few holders who have been hanging on, hoping
against hope that something would develop to as
sist them, finally yielded to the force of circum-
stances and parted with the wheat this morning.
Later in the session rumors of gold exports began TO
be heard and this, of course produced further de-
preston and caused additional selling. Beerbohm
furnished statement of shortages in the crops OF
England, France and Russia, hui it was viewed
with Indifference. Shipments to importing coun-
tries last week amounted TO 5,3OSO00 bushels.
Liverpool opening cables quiet. Receipts
at Chicago were rs cars and the Northwest had 81.
Withdraw ais from store amounted to 80, 100 BUSH
els Late in the day New y ork reported 20
boatloadS sold for export and five loads taken at
out ports, some dispatches, however. placing the
amount at 80 loads. On this there was some buy
ing to cover short" sales, prices rallying some.
Clearance from the four principal Atlantic ports
were light at 94,17 bushels. Closing control
cables were weak and very much lower Septem-
Der wheat opened at 67ssc, sold between 6734c

Estimated receipts for tomorrow, ITO cars.
Corn-The trade in corn still remains in the glare
of the brilliant crop outlook Buyers and holders
find nothing on which to pin their faith in higher
prices, while short sellers look forward 10 what
they believe to be inevitable, that is, materially
lower prices. Cables from Liverpool quiet
and unchanged. Receipts were 257 cars, 81 less
than estimated Withdrawals from store amounted
TO 100 bushels and 10,155 bushels cleared at
the seaboard. September corn opened at 4014c,
declined TO 1880, closing at 397s940c, 5000
row, $40 cars.
Oats-The popular sentiment governed oats.
Strictly their merits oais had few friends and,
taken IN connection with the speculative weakness
in other markets, the only logical course was down
ward. Receipts were l3S cars. Withdrawals from
store amounted to 1915 bushels. September
closed 14d3sc under yesterday. Estimated re-
ceipts for tomorrow, 205 cars.

The butter market remained finn at yesterday IS
advance. Business was as active as could be ex-
pected, with light offerings. Fancy grades were
preferred, but mediums were readily taken.
Eggs We're quiet but firm. Trading was entirely
in the wav of filling local orders there being no
outside demand and the stock being too inferior to
be placed in cold storage. Fresh stock sold at
