Chicago, ILL.,, Aug 13-The vague feeling
of uneasiness and dread oyerhanging the
in the trade in that grain for the first half
of today's session, and under that influence
q break occurred which had the effect of
shaking out many of the smaller holders.
The prospect that deliveries in September
would be heavy was not a promising out
pronounced Relative TO these deliveries a
prominent operator said: There are about
12,000,000 bushels of contract wheat in regu-
lar houses in Chicago, but over half of 1t is
in houses made regular in July, and the re-
ceipts being dated previous to that time are
not regular for delivery now and will prob
ably not be changed to an important extent
for September contracts. This phase of the
situation. ,dawned on the minds of traders
later in the session, effecting a more conf
dent tone, and with the treasured feeling a
prompt recovery was inaugurated, prices
eventually rising above last nights closing
figures. September wheat opened at 54Ac,
sold at 5394 M55ssc, closing at 55l4@55asc, s4T
&c higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was
easy early, but closed firm.
Corn-The Cincinnati Price Current sum-
mary on corn reported some apprehension

corn was rather weak early, but became
firmer towards the close. final prices being
uoIillnaliy uncndnSeu from yesterday.
The oats market displayed more firmness
than either of its important neighbors. This
was credited to the influence of the Cincin-
nati Price Current, which said the oats crop
is even more unfavorably reported than pre-
viously. Prices eventually exhibited weak
hess, but did not break as radically as those
of wheat and corn. September closed 1ac
higher than yesterday. Cash oats sold at
steady prices.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.


New York, Aug. 13.-(Special) -Cotton to-
day was exceedingly nervous and erratic.
A decided break in Liverpool failed to cause
any further decline at our opening. Jan
uary opened at IA, advanced to 1855 de-
clined to 7.34. again advanced to 7.5a, reacted
to 7.50, rose once more to 755 and closed at
757a7.5s, with the tone steady.
A constant stream of kilograms from the
south bring conflicting news about the
weather and crops, and caused the frequent
and rapid changes of feeling. Prices are
very sensitive. Soaking and general rains
in the south would proably cause January
to drop to cents or lower, while con-
tinuance of drouth would certainly send IL
almost to cents Nobody can tell what the
market may do tomorrow or next week, but
we feel satisfied that prices this fall are
going to be higher. The leading German
bears today changed sides and were active
ly buying and bulling the market.

Homo Markets For Western Farmers.

The farmer in the Rocky mountain
and "sagebrush" states is hedged in
by distance and transportation rates
from the large commercial centers.
Consequently his market necessarily
consists to great extent Of the mining
and numbering camps near him. He
should study those markets, and if he
finds, for instance, that dairy products
are scarce and high during the winter
season winter dairying will suggest
itself. There are few mining camps in
which large quantities of fresh vegeta-
bles could not be disposed Of at remu-
nerative prices. Even in high attitudes
hotbeds might be used to produce enough
to more than pay the winters expenses
Of the family, while cheap cloth GOV
ering to protect growing plants from
late spring and early summer frosts
might be the means of putting the prod
uce in the market two or three weeks
earlier than usual at correspondingly in
creased prices. All this may seem like
puttering" work to those who have
been used to raising large areas of one
crop, at a loss perhaps, but it may mean
to the average farmer of the Rocky
mountain states the comfortable feeling
Of having his debts paid and living
ahead, which some are strangers to now,
is the testimony Of an American Agri-
culturist correspondent.
