rivals. and soft spots In the market were
few and far between, The fine weather
was too much for corn and oats, declines
OF about &c each being the result OF the
days trading in those staples. Proyls-
Ions closed at u small advance all
around.
In wheat, the Liverpool market again
sent higher quotations as much as lMd
perennial advance before trading
started here, That was the principal
, reason for September opening &c over
the closing price of the day before, Ans
other element of strength was found in
the receipts OF new wheat which were
again phenomenally light. To-day
Chicago got only five cars Of the new
CROP against 2i0 cars the corresponding
day last year, and st. Louis received
only $1,000 bushels against $1,000 BUSH
els year ago to-day. Since the first
OF July Chicago has received in the ag-
gregate only is cars Of new wheat,
against 1889 cars the corresponding
time last year. September opened at
from G7es to 67Ac and did not sell below
those figures until after nearly two
hours trading, and meantime 1t sold up
good, but confined largely to the oper-
ations Of the local scalpers and specula-
tors. Minneapolis and Duluth received
259 cars against 2S2 year ago. The ag-
gregate Of the days receipts at Chi
cago, st. Louis, Toledo, Detroit and
Kansas City was $1,000 bushels, against
25G0OO bushels last year. New York eX-
port houses had acceptances from the
United Kingdom of offers cabled last
night, and houses here that do for
eign shipping business had their limits
for cash purchases raised to-day from
lie to 1lsc per bushel. The Atlantic port
clearances were equal in wheat and
flour to 277000 bushels. After Septem-
Der had reacted from Csc to 67hG67%c
had assumed for while an appearance
OF heaylness, It turned around and went
up once more with rush to Csc and its
impetus was such that It went TO 6SMe
or Mc over the previous line.
The buying of seed wheat for Argen-
tina at New York, and cablegram re-
porting firmness of Russian markets
and small offerings from the interior
contributed to the strength which this
market displayed in the last hour OF the
6Skc, the top price OF the day.
Corn was exceptionally dull all day.
The market with the exception OF a few
minutes after the opening, when little
strength was shown In sympathy with
wheat, was weak. Fine weather and
liberal country offerings caused more
liquidation than the duh market could
stand, and prices gradually slid off. The
final bulge in wheat caused some re-
covery. Local receipts we're 4S6 cars
