CHICAGO, I'LL. Sept. 10.-A serious drawback
to activity in todays wheat market lay IN the an
ticipation of the Government crop report, due in
the afternoon. Really very little bust ness was
transacted, both buyers and sellers feeling some
what apprehensive and therefore disinclined to
assume an aggressive attitude.

yesterday, some consid ration being extended

in the crop situation and stated that fail plowing
was progressing favoraby. Liverpool cables were
14d higher.
Extremely large export clearances, S14S54
bushels, stimulated prices for time, but after the
