CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Wheat was firm
To-Day, with only light trade. Fluc-

Mgher than yesterday Corn closed
sc higher than yesterday, and oats
ana provisions were unchanged. Wheat
opened firm about the point it left off
at on the previous afternoon. Trade
was quite light and fresh influences
were needed to stimulate it. The gov
eminent report to be issued tomorrow
AFTERNOON had the usual effect of cur
failing business. The effect of small
receipts at Western primary markets
was again balanced by equally notice
able meager shipments from the sea-
board. Gold to a limited amount was
reported to be prepared for shipment
on tomorrow's steamer. Wet weather
prevailed In the Dakotas, interfering
with the harvest, and a similar wealth

small volume of trade
The bears We're taking comfort from,
the fact that the receipts of wheat at
kansas City amounted today to $4,000
bu, but as Il, 100 bu was the quantity
received there year ago, today's re-
little chilly comfort. The satisfaction
at the 5000 bu received at Kansas CITY
would probably be still further cooled
by the reflection that some of it is
coming coming form Iowa and is going to
mlilers at points In the interior of Kan

rally during the latter part of the ses-
sion.
The corn pit was uncomfortable
crowded considering the extreme heat.
but some people had to have corn. and
risked the warmth of the struggle to
secure it. Two points Of rather press
ing importance were seeking for eX-
preston yesterday, but We're silenced
then by the effect of the Boston failure.
These We're the hot weather in Ne
braska and Kansas. which was said
to have caused distinct lowering of the
condition, and the excellent demand for
shipment. The taking of vessel room
Tor 6U0.C9O bu at Boston was a bull fac
tor. September opened at from 39hc
to 391ac, rose to 40inc, and closed at
39A @391sc. May ranged from 3314 0231ac,
at the opening to 3414c, and closed at
33Ac.
In oats a firmer feeling was noticea-
bic, but it was entirely in sympathy
with corn. When that market fell eff
toward the close, oats also declined.
1t was reported early that elevator
people were buying September oats,
and shorts taking in May, thereby as
sisting the advance. September opened
at 201ac, sold up to 20s4c, back to 2G1sc,
and closed there. May ranged from
2414c to 241a@243sc, and closed at 24A
Provisions were irregular and nerv-
Gus. There were frequent changes in
the temperament of the crowd, but in
the end prices showed very little
change from the previous days closing
rates.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, los cars; corn, 500 cars; oats
312 cars; hogs, 1900. Offerings of YES
sci room were light and rates firm at
1896 for wheat and 114c for corn to Buff
I falo, and 212c for corn to Kingston.
The leading futures ranged as fol-
lows:
