jumped and kept jumping until about
II o'clock 1t had reached Ole, Traders
In December had not been idle in the
meantime. That option started at $40
9llae, an advance OF %@lhc from yes
terday, touched 92c, went back to 9Olac,
then went on the run to 94C. There
was a slight interval of weakness about
an hour from the opening, when the
New York market yielded, but the
slight decline occasioned was quickly
recovered
Liverpool showed a leclne to begin
with OF from 9sd to 31ad but recovered
part of the latter. New York Wired
shortly after the opening that foreign
ers were buying wheat, and houses here
who do business for foreign spectators
reported they also had buying orders
from abroad. In the course of the fore
noon 1t was found that one firm In New
York had sold so boat loads. or 100000
bushels, for export, but much more sat
lsfaCtory evidence Of the European de-
mand was that the actual shipment
from Atlantic cities since yesterday
mornings report were $4,000 bushels,
without taking account OF the flour,
which was 1000 barrels. Chicago re-
oeIpts were 929 cars, but only 22 of the
number We're contract. Minneapolis
and Duluth received 3l7 cars, against
1876 the similar day of the year before.
The market was extremely nervous
to the end. Fluctuations of &c per
bushel in September between trades
were frequent, and December made
jumps and plunses of &c without APP
parent reason beyond attempts Of bro
kers to buy or sell more than 10000
bushels at a time. The continental
markets were weak. Paris closed at a
decline In wheat OF from lBc to 2%c
per bushel, and Antwerp was l franc
down, or the equivalent of sac per
bushel Liverpool closed I'd per GENITAL
lower for the day on spot and from 2&c
to 2&c down on futures Closing prices
here were September 9G&c; December
93kc.
Trading in corn was heavier than
wheat In the quantities that changed
hands. although fluctuations were much
narrower. At the outset there was an
other new lot OF selling by the pool,
which was supposed to have sold out
yesterday, the quantity let go of to-day
being estimated at 100000 bushels,
Notwithstanding this the market ad-
vauced, the demand being general,
elevator people, who were sellers yes
terday. being especially heavy buyers.
Crop reports were for the most part
unfavornbie. Gables opened weak but
recovered part of the decline. Receipts
were large, lib cars. September open
ed hGFsc higher at 2SA@29c, advanced
to 3Oc and closed at 29&Q29&c, De-
cember opened Irregular, Ac lower to
nc higher at 3OKc to Bic, II advanced
to acc and closed ut 3lSsc,
Oats were rather easy for while af-
ter the opening and some nervousness
was shown. The market frmed up
later with wheat and the belief that
the bull crowd is still holding its lines.
A feature was the light offerings, which
at times made 1t difficult to I'LL orders.
Commission houses were good buyers.
Receipts were 1852 cars September
opened unchanged at 1850, sold be-
tween lSlsc and l9al9is, closing at 1873
QlOc.
The market for provisions attracted
considerable attention and the feeling
was decidedly stronger. mainly In SYM
pathy with the grain markets. The
market opened firm at slight advance
and the filling of outside orders, which
were plentiful, and covering by shorts
caused n sharp advance In all products.
The Improvement was well supported
to the close. The live stock market was
strong. At the close September pork
was soc higher at s. TO- September lard
l2Isc higher at 81 10 and September ribs
27iae higher at So IS.
