CHICAGO, August Wheat led the
way to a general decline in prices on the
Board of Trade to-day. Foreign markets
failed to respond to the advance in wheat
here yesterday and the cash sales were
very moderate. Wheat declined 12sdlh,
corn 9, oats y, pork lOl2, lard ~, and
ribs SO.
Liverpool quotations for futures of
wheat were from s4d for September TO SD
for December lower than they closed the
day before That was the reason for
decline here of lc per bushel TO begin
with. September was bringing 7Tlk as the
session ended yesterday and started with
sellers at from 76lsU16A. Trade was light.
Those who made handsome profit on the
advance are not disposed TO risk any of
ii by buying again this side of a &c or Sc
decline. y moderate amount Of short
selling was evident on the first bulge TO
1875 and grew in proportions as the ses-
sion progressed. Chicago receipts were
l25 cars of which 10 were new spring
wheat Minneapolis and Duluth reported
receipts of l5S carloads. against 42I a week
ago. and pa the CORES pOndng day Of the
year before. The amount inspected out
of store was 265.000 bushels. Chicago re-
ceipts for the week were 10000 bushels
and the shipments 605,9j2 bushels. The
weeks clearanceS of wheat and flour from
both coasts were equal 10 3,30S4O bushels,
compared with Dab 600 bushels the week
week last year. About the only bearish
feature in the mornings news was the
report of the Kansas crop. giving the
WELD as 50.5S9 000> bushels, compared with
30 1874 Geo bushels the year before. The
South Dakota wheat crop was privately
estimated at 100000 GOO bushels; the govern
ments estimate for the year before was
- 5S} eco bushels The startling rumOrs
10 the effect that the Russian government
intended stopping wheat exports were
discredited owing TO the apparent weak
ness in the foreign marts. Near the end
of the session Paris was reported q zV634
lowed but the quotations were looked
upon as an error and had little effect.
y fresh decline set in which carried the
price to the lowest point of the day. CaSh
sales were small compared with the enor-
nous transactions of late. New York
claimed 80 boatloads sold and one or two
round lots we're worked here. September
rallied &c at the close, chiefly on cover
September opened at aia7s to 1c lower at
16MG16Ac sold between 1875 and I5isc,
closing with sellers at ljSsc...
