Chicago. Sept. q, noon.-The market
opened for wheat, September, 57l2c; corn,

lard. September, $3.50; ribs, September,
Chicago, Sept. 2l.-Nothing out of TIA
ordinary transpired in the wheat marker
to-day. Prices were lower, but that was
on account Of the prevailing conditions
That dong" line held by the syndicate
of iron manufacturers continues TO be the
subject Of gossip. 1t is said a considerable
portion of it has been hquidated, but the
talent does not seem TO put much faith
in the report and the selling of even a
moderate quantity by the house having
charge of the deal, is the signal for rail-
ing. To-day, when sale of about 3H-
600 bushels by the firm referred to was
made, the crowd jumped on prices ana
forced them through the puts" As
general thing, the business lacked inter-
both coasts for the week were little bet-
ter than for the previous one, still they
opened from from 5s5s65s5sc DEFINED to 5 9sat
closing at 5Sisc-5sc under esterday. Cash
wheat was weak and 12qic per bushel
lower.
Corn-The shorts in May corn found the
occasion opportune for covering, the bus,-
ness in that line, preventing the markes
from entirely degenerating into lifeless-
ness and inactivity. The continuation OF
the fine corn maturing weather for the
past week has placed the crop in such a
position that 1t is not believed possible
for any Ill effects to result from frost
The exports of corn have contributes
largely to the steadiness lately ruling IN
prices, but the weakness of wheat to-day
offset that influence and caused an easy
feeling. May corn opened at 29c, sold be-
tween 291sc and 2S3sc, closing at 2S5sG29c--
&c under yesterday. Cash corn was A0isc
per bushel lower.
Oats-Traders in oats enjoyed their ease
to-day. Business was so light as to re-
quire very little attention, only a few
trades of minor account taking place. The
tone Of wheat served as a governing in
fiuence. May oats closed &c under yes
terday. Cash oats Ac lower.
Provisions-The hog market fell away
from 10Ql5c this morning, and product
traders with, this information, made haste
to sell out anything in the way of pro-
visions that they possessed. No encOur-
agement was derived from the grain mar
kets, and prices dropped all through the
short session, closing 17lzc lower for Oc-
tOber pork, &C lower for October lard and
SC lower for October ribs. Domestic and
foreign markets were slow and easy.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing
