CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER I.-Evarything
traded in on the Board of Trade to-day
was weak with the exception of oats, and
heavy declines resulted. Statistical news
in wheat favared the bears for once and
they took advantage of the fact with d
vengeance, pounding the price down to
point 11sc below yesterdays close. Corn
declined 1Ac for the same reason. Oats
declined nc. Provisions suffered from an
other large dose of yellow fever scare,
pork declining &c, lard SOC and ribs 1212c.
No matten what the complexion of a gov
eminent crop report may be, the wheat
market is almost invariably weak after its
announcement. To-dayfs market was no
exception.
Wheat started at a decline of 1a0Ac,
and with the exception of two or three
short spasms of strength the market was
decidedly off color all day. The decline
was more influenced by what was learned
yesterday of the growing weakness of the
wheat, the No. Kansas hard and de-
cline of from sd to Id in Liverpool than
by the government estimate of the crop.
from Atlantic ports for the day amount
ed to the liberal total of $4,000 bu, but
did not further interfere with the weak
ness with which the market had mean
time become badly afflicted. December
opened at from 971ac down to 9714c, and
after fluctuating for a short time found
gradually increased in heaviness until
about half an hour from the end of the
session it had got down to 96c.
The weakest phase of the market was
in the last ten minutes of the session, by
which time the general crowd had gained
the courage Of their convictions and no
longer feared to sell the wheat they had
considered much too high. They battered
the price of December down to 9512c, even
to $3.50 for some of it, but not wishing to
go home short, some buying of that sort
caused a recovery to $3.50 at the close.
Corn was radically weak, made so by
the government crop report, heavy re-
ceipts and a rather poor demand. There
was heavy commission house selling
throughout the session and during the lat
er weakness of wheat liquidation was
gtneral.
The market was at its lowest recession
at the ending. The government report in
dictated a crop of 1850, COO coo bu. Receipts
We're 1,229 cars. Weekly clearances were
heavy, .4,9G3,O00 bu. Bulls had in mind a
to be comforted. Liverpool was sd lower.
December opened at 9s02sc lower at 3212
