CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 4.-The Northwest had
big receipts Of wheat this morning, and the eyes
of the trade in that grain now turned in that
direction it but natural that prices should feel
the effect of the heavy arrivals. Minneapolis had
377 cars and Duluth SOL. On the corresponding
day year ago both places received 4S0 cars. The
morning trade was light and confined mainly TO
local operations. Liverpool cables were 81 to Id
lower, rejecting the weakness or this market yes
terday. Receipts a. Chicago were $50 cars, and
1881 bushels were withdrawn from store. There
was temporary rally on the posting of the export
clearanceS at the seaboard, 524, $50 bushels but
the tone was heavy and values failed to be sus-
tanned.
Bradstreet's reported decrease in the worlds
tfnental cables were irregular, Paris being higher
for -four and lower for wheat. Berlin quoted wheat
IA to ~ marks lower. New York reported
tnental orders to sell in that market the first in
long time. The weakness here received emphasis
6l12c to 61Ssc, sold between 81 sac and 6O(G6O1sc
closing at 6o1sc, 15sG1184c lower than yesterday.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow fifty-four cars.
Corn-The trade in corn was barren of feature
OF particular Importance. The undertone was not
strong, but as no determined effort to depress
prices took place, the market contented itself with
dropping back few fractions The talk of course,
principally of the big crop, and, with the
enormous production continually in view there is
little prospect of aggressive bull action Liverpool
cables were weak and lower. Receipts were TIA
cars and 206433 bushels were taken from store.
Export cearances amounted to 473543 bushels.
Bradstreets reported increase in available stocks
of 10000 bushels. May corn opened at from SOC to
~ tSGoUc, SOQ between E912c and 3O1sc, 12c
under Yesterday Estimated receipts for tomorrow,
$50 cars.
Oats-Not very much business and very little
news gave oats little ground for action. Wheat
threw some motive into the market, but the fiuc-
tuations were of a very limited kind. Receipts
were 523 cars and $4,000 bushels were taken
from store. Bradstreet's reported a decrease in
stocks of 412,000 bushels May oats closed $50
lac lower. Estimated receipts for tomorrow, 1S5

Provisions-Product apparently in sympa-
thizing mood to-day. Inasmuch as grain and hogs
were moving in a downward direction, provisions
adopted the same course and declined. The trade
was scattered with nothing OF significance noted.

''longs" seemed to cease and steadier tone
noted. October pork closed 2712c lower, October
lard 212c higher, and October ribs &c lower
