CHICAGO ARKETs.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. lettings were lament
ably duh in the wheat-pit to-day. Even the usual
spasmodic outbursts by the scalpers were lacking
and an order from the outside was something OF
curiosity. The Saturday half-holiday and the adj
vent of the Government report were both restrict
ing elements, and when the hot weather was con-
sdered it was rather surprising that the attendance
of brokers large as it was. The exports
from both coasts for the week were light: only
000 bushels clearing against 3,4l9,OO0
bushels year ago. Receipts at Chicago were 80
cars. 20 less than estimates, and the Northwest
had SO cars. The Government report to-day will
treat, among other matters, OF the condltlon OF
Last month the condition was IO2 2eO bushels:
Withdrawals from store at Chicago lao LAT busheIs
and export clearances from the Atlantic seaooard
10l. 259 bushels. Liverpool cables were quiet and
steady, but those from the Continent were all
lower The tone of the market easy early, but
reported sales of 100000 bushels cash wheat, part
up later but in the end there WAS very little
strength TO prices. September wheat opened at
CSC, sold between CSC and 6s1sc and o. 12c clos

bushels were inspected from store. Export clear
ances amounted TO 1858 bushels. september
Corn opened from 3934 1S97sc, declined to 1880,
3s@19c under yesterday. Estimated receipts ior
Monday 546 cars.
Oats were quiet and their action unobtrusive-
The variations and fluctuations OF other markets
extended either firmness or weakness to prices but
otherwise they not effected. Receipts were
293 cars, and $4,000 bushels were taken from

sufficient to absorb the offerings. Fresh stock
