MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago Change.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Had it not been for the timely aid extended by corn, it is more than probable that wheat would have fared badly today. As oft was there was nothing to urge the bulls on, prices fiuctuating at a lower range than yesterdays close through out the entire session. Beginning there, the tone at the opening and for a short while thereafter was weak and holderswere doubting in their minds the advisability of selling out, when the corn market came into prominence by reason of it's strength and through that medium wheat steadied, and later recovered most of the days early de- preciation. Bradstreet's reported exports from both coasts for the week at 1,S24,OOO bushels. This was a little better than last week, but nevertheless small by comparison with the corresponding week in former years. Complaint of the grading of the spring wheat comes from the northwest. It is stated that only about 25 per cent passes contract, while like amount is rejected daily on account of the smut and other defects. September wheat opened from 657s to 66c, sold between 65al and 667sc, closing at 66Ac, BQHc under yesterday. Cash wheat was about steady to shade lower.
 Corn manifested marked strength, and prices rose very materially, net gain of a full cent being established at the close, the outside having been. 1ac above that The continued feeling of apprehension among shorts that the September might receive a twisting, was one of the upturns. The heavy arrivals which have been noted of late are very nearly if not quite offset by the good outward movement The cash demand has been good recently and the difficulty in ob- taining vessel room presents the greatest obstacle to a freer shipping business In the distant future today's buying was evil dently inspired by reports of hot winds in portions of the corn belt, although the inn pression prevails that no serious harm has as yet resulted from that cause. September corn opened at 3SAc, advanced to 393sc, closing at 3S5sc, 1ci higher than yesterday. Sample lots were firm and 1c higher.
 Oats-It was quite proper for oats to de> rive benefit from corn, and they did. The buyers in corn were noticeably acting in a similar manner in oats. The September shorts were covering, and although this in- terest has been reduced considerably during the recent past, it has nevertheless shown that much will have to be bought before it is entirely eliminated September oats closed LMssc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were 1ac higher
 Previsons-The usual Saturday indiffer- ence was presented in the products market today Before the call there was some trad ing, but after that time a quiet market was seen The opening was easy, weak feeling being communicated by the hog market, but the strength of corn threw little improse- ment into the tone. The close was un- changed from yesterday for September pork and 2lRc higher for September lard and ribs.
 Domestic and foreign markets were quiet and steady.
 The leading futures ranged as follows.

Saturday Night, Aug. 17, 1S9

Saturday Night Aug. F, 1895. This being the close of the week it is not untimely to say that August business so far has exceeded that of last year by al- most double. The movement of goods, both in and out, has been more than encourage ing, and merchants are feeling accordingly good spirited
 The feature of the day was another bal loon ascension of ribs they have gone sky ward another 7ta points, which added to the advance of yesterday, has broken the record for two days this season. The closing quo tation on ribs in car load lots was S6.521s. Flour sugar, coffee and lard remain firm at unchanged prices.
 Chickens and eggs are yet scarce and in good demand at yesterdays quotations. A prediction was made that eggs would make another advance, but the present aspects does not warrant the assertion.
 Grain and live stock continue unchanged. There has been some movement in horses at the stock yards, three car loads having been disposed of lately and one today, with another on for tomorrow

 The Chronicle states that reports from the
 south indicate that the weather has been
 very warm as rule during the week. that
 very little rain has fallen anywhere in the
 southwest and generally more moisture is needed and that there is also complaint of
 insufficient rainfall from points in Tcnnes-
 see: that on the other hand in a few locali- ties along the gulf and Atlantic there has
 been rather too much rain: in Texas cotton is beginning to open rapidly, having the
 warm weather but picking is not to be- come general until the close of the month; damage from boil worms is claimed in the vicinity of Shreveport, and shedding is re- ported from some districts of Texas and Mississippi It states that the northern spinners have taken thus far this season 2O52, ,536 bales against 1,5S0.916 bales thus far last season. Came in sight during the last week 10 All bales, against 16,335 bales in the same week last. year; making the total in sight g. 507 5SS bales against ,671 bales at this time last season.

Exports from ports thus far this season 67Oi,324 bales, against 5,196, ,9f5 bales thus far last season Today's features: The Liverpool news took everybody by surprise, and of course it was anything but an agreeable surprise to the bears. The Chronicle reports more over was quite bullish and these two fac tors decided the direction of prices for the day and of course that direction was up ward. On the rise today there was consid- erable realizing locally and quite selling for European and southern account, but the market took the cotton very readily and closed at only very slight recession from the highest figures of the day

In Wall Street.

New York, Aug. 1.-The feature of the stock market today was the weakness of the general railway list. Tobacco was pressed for sale, 2l40O shares being traded in. The stock opened at lO67s and dropped Professional operators were the heaviest sellers and all the arti6ers of manipulation haitian was heavy throughout and dropped from 114A to 112ai on selling for both ac-- counts. The falling off in the earnings of the company on account of competition is given as the reason for the weakness for this stock. Outside of the issue named, the tendency of prices was upwards.
 More confidence prevails as to the future, the offerings of bills against American se- >curities placed abroad being relied upon to furnish sufficient exchange to check the large exports of gold, while the crop condi- tions are all that could be reasonably de- sired by the most encouraging bulls on from is to l5s per Int, Chicago Gas, the grangers, Lake Shore and Leather pre- tion ciosed strong except for Manhattan and Tobacco, which were weak at about the lowest point Gf the f day o R Ne, ner changes as
