Liverpool Is keeping holiday and sent
no quotations on grain this morning, but
London cablegram quoted the cargo
: market strong on account OF continental
demand. New York advlces Of about
100000 bushels being sold there for ex-
port yesterday was an element In max
ing the strength which started. Septem-
Der closed yesterday 74lsc was wanted
at from 74s to 76bc at the opening and
rose in n few minutes to 75s. II reacted
to 7i&c and followed that by another
quick advance that ended at 75k075ssc.
The latter bulge was due In some meas
ure to an advance In July wheat at New
York of nearly &c per bushel. The bear
| leaders came to the front and sold freely
over 75c. The crowd took the same side
and plenty Of long wheat came out,
| Wheat delivered on July contractB-as
much as 100000 bushels, It was said,
had some influence In checking the bull
feeling. The indications also were that
the visible would on Monday show an
other considerable increase and that prl-
mary market receipts would be still fur
Their increased next week, had Its effect
| In Inspiring caution In buying
The receipts at the primary western
markets to-day were 100000 bushels
against $4,000 bushels last year. OF to-
days receipts Kansas City got 2l700n
bushels. Chicago had 176 cars, l57 OF
them new, against POI last year. The
quantity inspected out of store was 12e.-
900 bushels. The total quantity received
at Chicago this week was $4,000 aEairEt
shipments OF $4,000 bushels the first
week this season that the receipts eX-
ceeded the shipments. The weeks clear
ances of wheat and flour were equal to
3,343.00O bushels from both COSTS,
against l,97s,OOO bushels the week before.
The exports from Atlantic ports for
twenty-four hours were equal in wheat
and flour to $4,000 bushels. September
wheat opened %G&c higher at HAq
75iS advanced to. 75k075%c and de-
cllned to 7iSc for causes already men,
toned. It did not rally again TO over
nIsc, and later II declined to 74lkc and
closed at 7I%e. The Paris and Antwerp
markets closed with additional advances
OF about the equivalent Of &c per bushel
Corn got n very strong start because
OF the extreme heat reported to be pre-
vailIng In Kansas. Reports from the
southern counties of that state were all
agreed as to the bad effect upon the crop.
Missouri also sent bad reports, and some
complaints came In from Nebraska also
The early advance In wheat was also a
factor In the opening rise in corn. While
the subsequent loss in wheat OF all but a
small fraction ef Its early advance had
the effect of bringing out some Of the
scalplng lots OF long corn, the market
could not be called weak one at any
time and IL closed at a small fraction
higher than 1t did the day before. Re
ceipts were l.076 cars. Exports for the
week were 3.3Oi,0OO bushels, against
i,6iS, 600 bushels the week before. Sep
TENDER Narted hGhc higher at 2$12Sl4c
declined to 27tsa27Ac, and closed with
sellers at 27Tc.
The market for oats was one OF more
than usual duiiness, which characterizes
short session. Sales were few and all
small, the disposition TO do business
either way being very slack. An easy
feeling was apparent, yet prices showed
no material alteration. September open
ed unchanged at l7Ac. touched l7&a
177sc and declined to l7&al7Ac, closing
with sellers at that price. The cash de-
partment was steady Receipts were
400 cars.
The provisions market opened ms II Il
meant TO scare the shorts out uf their
margins, but did not carry out the pro-
gramme. After very bullish start, the
market became quite tame In the alb
sence of outside orders and lard was noon
left alone to carry on the bull dlyislnn.
II wore of and In the end September
pork showed loss OF 5iAc at 81 So; lard
&c at 81 90; ribs &c at 81 70. Estimated
receipts for Monday: Wheat $50 cars,
corn 1870 cars; oats $50 cars; hogs 1900
