CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO, ILL., Aug. 1.-THE wheat market
began the week in rather an unoblrusive manner
the trade being quite lifeless at times during the
session and the active moments falling short Of
real live animation The crowd was bearish at the
opening this morning estimate that the
worlds shipments would aggregate 6500,00O
bushels and on excited early free movement of
spring wheat, the present arrivals tending to con-
firm that belief a fractional recovery took place
in about hour after the opening talk frost,
but the sentiment was not possessed of sufficient
merit to sustain prices for long and they again re-
ceded Receipts 220 cars at Chicago, and
125,310 bushels were tax IN from store. The
Northwest had 307 cars, against 407 last Monday
and 34S year ago.
\ he visible supply decreased $4,000 bushels
and the amount on ocean passage /, $4,000 bush
els After the posting of the visible supply figures
the market evinced greater weakness, inside quo
tations being then established. Export clearances

changed. Paris had holiday. The English visl-
BILE supply increased 634, 900 bushels. On

CORN-The amount of corn inspected from
store since Saturday, 1,266,857 bushels gave rise
TO considerable comment and was powerful aid
to prices to-day. Although sympathizing with
wheat the start there was efficacy enough in
the large output to overcome that influence later.

expected The visible supply Increased ,562, 900
bushels the amount on ocean passage zoo, 600
