CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO. VI, Aug. 25.-Strong ger cables were
received from Liverpool and Berlin this morning,
and they did not accord with the final tone OF
our market Of yesterday wheat opened firm in re-
sponse to the independence Of the foreign trade.
1t required something more than the influence
me ntioned to sustain prices however, and nothing
possessing the proper merit Of value as bull ar
gument being received the market soon gave way
to moderate selling Later the announcement of
Bradstreets report giving an increase In the
worlds stocks of 900 bushels induced further
weakness. Receipts at Chicago were SOb cars,
and 1875 300 bushels were taken from store. The
