CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO, I'LL. Aug. 13-For q brief period
subsequent to the opening of the wheat market
this morning the feeling comparatively steady.
not to say firm, and less disposition to sell was
present But aft e. the expiration of the first half
hour liquidation of September came the feature of
the trade. The selling was widespread and
vague apprehension prevented the development of
demand suthcient TO check the downward ten
dency. The fear of liberal deliveries of September
contracts was again expressed and tirnd holders
became anxious to dispose of their properties.
Relative to the question Of these deliveries a
prominent trader said: "There is about Il, 000,-
600 bushels contract grade wheat in regular
houses in Chicago but over half OF it is in hou ses
made regular in July and the receipts. being
da ed previous to that time, are not regular for
delivery and will probably not be changed to
important extent for September contracts"
This phase of the situation dawned on the
minds of the operators later in the session, eff
fecting more confident tone. Liverpool cables

before the conclusion of the session. Closing con-
tinental cables were generally higher. September

CORN-The Cincinnati Price Current summary
on corn reported some apprehension regarding the
crop in ansas Probably a portion of tbe onan
ing frmness for this grain might be ascribed TO
that, but evidently the initial strength of wheat
was the more important influence With weak

ings and also declined. Receipts were 698 cars,
were light at $4,000 bushels. Seaboard clearances
amounted to 941,575 bushels, Liverpool cables

OATS-The oats market displayed more firm
than either of its neigh bors. This was credit
ed TO the influence of the Cincinnati Price Current

grains but did not break s radically as those OF
wheat and corn. Receipts were 30S cars and 24l-
