Chicago General Market.

Chicago. August 1.-THE wheat mar
ket today was. in comparison with yes
terday and Wednesday, quite a dull
affair. The liquidation in September
had been quite general and with that
class of operations out of the way there
was little else to excite interest The
tone of the market was not very
strong, but there was a steady under
tone which prevented prices from dis
playing an extremity of weakness That
new wheat is beginning to move with
some degree of freedom in the north
west tends to deter buyers and checks
an advancing inclination. The receipts
in that section today were 400 cars,
against Sal last Friday and III year
ago. Chicago received $50 cars and in
spected but $3.50 bushels. Liverpool
cables were steady. A steady tone in
the New York market was urged in
explanation of the more confident feel
ing i'm grain exports. Clearances
amounted to 137.419 bushels. Closing
continental cables were higher. In the
last fifteen minutes the crowd endeav-
ored 30 dispose of wheat bought ear
lier. the consequence being than prices
slipped away rather quickly. Septem-
Der wheat opened from 551s to SIS. sold
between 551k@555s and 54$s, closing at
So bid-14@ss under yesterday. Esti-
mated receipts for tomorrow 40 cars.
Corn-The interest in corn was mod
crate. There was no decided bear feel
ing, although the prospect of an adj
vance was conceded to be rather in
definite The steadiness which marked
the tone was doubtless caused by the
heavy inspection from store-SS9, 52S
bushels. Receipts were 739 cars, SO
more than estimated. Liverpool cables
were firm. Export clearances amount
ed to 121 .149 bushels. May corn opened
at 81, sold between 27@271s and 2734,
closing at the inside Nc. under yester-
day. Estimated receipts for tomorrow,
$40 cars.
Oats were firm. The cash demand
for old oats and the scarcity of the ar
ticle with the continuation of reports
of detriment to the crop all contributed
to the improved feeling. Receipts were
324 cars and 1874 bushels were taken
from store. May oats closed 1sc. higher
