wheat were given breathing spell to-
day. and the market was the quletest In
two weeks. A much smaller amount OF
trading also characterized the other
grain and provision markets. At the
close wheat was unchanged to 1ac lower:
corn, nc lower; oats, No lower, and
provisions 5Q171hc lower.
The strain in the wheat market was
slackened very much. That was appar-
ent as soon as trading commenced. Liv-
erpool was firmer and from Nd to Id
higher than II closed the day before, and
on that account steadler feeling pre-
vailed here at the commencement of the
session. Opening prices at some i'm
provement, but there was no ouch rad
Ical difference from yesterdays closing
rates as has recently happened over
night. December was the only delivery
heard OF for a minute or so, and II
brought from 9Ohc to 9Oikc, az compared
with 9Oc at the end of the previous days
session. 1t gained another hO over
the higher of the opening eX-
tremes, and followed that by a gradual
decline to NC below the lower, SSlac rul-
Ing about 19.45 o'clock
The weeks exports from both coasts,
az reported by Bradstreet's amounted
TO 5,4l9,653 bushels against 3,2Sl,S5i bush
els the corresponding week of 1886 That
showed sufficiently healthy export
movement to have been a probable ele-
ment OF the flrmness Of the opening. Ar
gentne did not ship any wheat TO Eu-
rope this week. The receipts ut Chicago
for the day were 100 cars, only 2S Of them
of contract quality. Minneapolis report
ed 3I2 cars received and Duluth SO, Il
total of 3gj, against 60T the similar day
Of the previous year. The exports OF
wheat and flour from Atlantic ports for
twcnty-four hours were equal to 100000
bushels. Beerbohm cabed some more
startling features about European short
age, giving the wheat crop Of Roumanla
about 100000 bushels smaller than the
year before, and OF Bulgaria about To-
100000 bushels less. The same authority
estimated the worlds shipments of
wheat and -four to Europe for the week
al 100000 bushels. The visible supply
Monday ~ not expected to show much
change Closing cablcgrams showed a
decline at Paris equal 10 2Ac per bushcl
for August and sSsc for November and
February, and a decline Of IL per bushel
at Antwerp Heavy buying, which the
crowd variously agcrIbed as being for ac-
count OF Armour u ca. or the George B
French interests, caused an advance In
December from around SSiac to S9Ac
about half an hour from the end OF the
session.
II finally rose TO 9Oc, nt which price Il
closed September ranged between Ole
and 9iMc. and closed at 92hc. decline
OF NC.
Corn was the center ~ the greatest
activity of nil the markets, which Is not
saying much The volume OF business be-
ing considerably smaller than OF late.
The weather was warm and dry through
out the corn belt, and moro drought
damage reports were received Tile
opening was firm on this, but prospects

much for the bulls. Receipts were 171l
