Chicago Change.

Chicago, H., July 31-The wheat market kept the scaiping fraternity on the jump count profits instead of losses at the close. Beginning under favorable conditions, bulge at St. Louis, after which there was a slump on realizing sales, but in the last shorts having oversold the market stand and be- be- coming alarmed at a surprising paucity of offerings. Meanwhile there were numerous cratic changes without well defined ex- planation. Liverpool did not respond to our weakness of yesterday, hence the ap- preciation at the immediate start. St. Louis strength was undoubtedly based on predic- tions of rains in that section, this market following suit and advancing Up until noon the trade was at best moderate, but subsequent to that hour there was a lively market. September wheat opened at 58ss@ ing at 5s7sc bid, ssQ1ac higher than yester- day. Cash wheat was irregular, opening and closing firm.
 Corn-The receipts of corn this morning exceeded by forty-five cars even the liberal estimate made yesterday, 1210 cars arriving and in deference to that fact the price of that grain opened lower than it closed yes- terday. The strength of wheat conveyed 0 steadier feeling, however, and the deprecia- tion was later recovered When wheat de- clined further along in the session corn weakened and receded, but rallied with the tember corn opened at 24l4, advanced to 25c, closing at 249sc bid, 1s@Ac higher than yes terday Cash corn exhibited some tirmness, majority of cases.
 Oats were not active, but they were pos sessed of unusual steadiness. They did not decline with the force of corn, not did they advance with any degree of vigor The tone was apparently independent of the action of the other grains. September oats closed 1sc higher than yesterday Cash oats were firm lor old and easy for new.
 ProViSionS-The run of hogs this morning was quite light. prices at the yards for that reason recovering. Provision traders were willing to view the situation with some- thing more of confidence than lately and as
 ne shorts were not averse to securing p1 ofits the tone of the market was decidedly nan yesterday, September lard and Sep de ,.lber ribs each 5471ac higher.

Cotton Letter.

OOIGOu heGter.
 New York, July 31-(Special 1.-The trad Ing in cotton today wore very much the as- pect of an old fashioned bull market. Liy- erpool was higher, but very little attention was paid to anything but the crop news. The bears insisted that the alleged damage reports were all lies or gross congregations, but the traders did not take that view of It and eager and continuous buying throughout the day sent the market up like rocket. There were some reactions, but they were trifiing in extent and did not last long.
 January opened at 6.72 and climbed to 6.90 The close was strong at the top prices. It looks as if cotton will go higher, and we ad- wise buying on all declines. The Liverpool Slarket will be closed until Wednesday.
