CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Wheat Is getting
close to the dollar mark again. The Liver
pool wheat market had advanced before
trading commenced here and the equivalent
of 41sc per bushel over the price it closed at
on Saturday last, &c of that rise having
occurred yesterday. Paris was also quoted
&c per bushel higher since Saturday. In
sympathy with the strength abroad, an
advance of about &c inaugurated the day s
business here. December started at from
95k to 95&, compared with Saturdays clos
ing price of 935s. But spectators who held
long wheat over from the end of the week
before seized the opportunity of reaping
SO material a profit and their offerings
caused the market to show sagging ten
dency most of the forenoon. December
declined to 94A before any material rally
occurred. The trade statistics of last
weeks movements of wheat In the direc-
t1on of consuming were somewhat of drag
to the market. The weeks shipments of
wheat and flour from all sources to the I'M
porting countries of Europe were 9S12, 900
bushels, against 7454, 900 bushels the week
before and 7,153,OOO bushels the correspond
ing week of 1896. The quantity on ocean
passage was thereby increased 1000 600
bushels. Receipts of wheat at Chicago
since Saturday morning were 1888 cars, but
out of that great number 35 only came up to
the contract standard. The quantity
Snlpped from mere since saturday morning
was disproportionately small, compared to
! receipts of 145,O00 bushels. comprising the
| total. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
1880 car loads received, compared with 2512
for the corresponding days of the previous
lyear Atlantic port clearances of wheat and
| flour since Saturday were equal to 1,155 900
bushels The visible supply decreased $685.
900 bushels and the total is now down to
A.S17,000 bushels. A year ago the corre-
spending week showed 921 900 bushels in
crease and the total was 47.416,OOO bushels.
Closing cables did not vary much from
those reporting the opening quotations. It
was difficult to get information regard
ing the precise number of boat loads sold
for export at New York and elsewhere, but
1t was very evident from what could be
learned that 1000, 900 bushels or more would
be disposed of. That was the reason why
the market, after Its reactionary disposi-
tion In the forenoon, became once more
very strong and was bringing 96A for De-
cember about fifteen minutes from the
close. The final trading price was 96h.
Trade in corn was active and much more
general than in wheat. Strong cables and
very general damage reports from drouth
started the market very firm, but the enor-
nous receipts and visible increase caused
an easier feeling to prevail for some time.
More interest was shown in oats. There
was considerable influential buying and
the market ruled firm from the start
A yellow fever scare on mild scale struck
the provision market at the opening. Pack
ers, however, gave the market vigorous
support and before the close the market
had steadied considerably.

said, and woke without an ache.
Joe Rice, the Wilkesbarre boy, who was
such faveritt during the race, declared
that he never telt better in his life The
inflammation about the eyes mad entirely
disappeared
The principal topic OF discussion among
the men was as TO what effect the dis
covery that the track was short would
have on the records made.
Mr.. Batchelder, the state Handicapped,
said the measurement would be submitted
lie L. a. IS authorities, and that they,
after making the proper deductions, would
give Miller the long distance championship.
The question Of whether a siX-day race
would be given next year was also dis
cussed tenSiyely thismorning. Mr.. Powers
said that tEcy were willing 10 conduct
another, but they said they would prefer
that al eighteen or twenty hours riding
