yer In the blood of the bulls here yes
terday, II responded to the Chicago
Ike advance of the day before by de-
cline OF I'D per GENITAL, The opening
here In consequence was at n decline or
about ne. The price quickly recovered
to yesterdays close on reports from
New York that while Liverpool was
weak, continental markets were strong
and sixty boat loads of wheat offered
by cable last night had been accepted.
After the buying which was inspired by
the latter Information had exhausted
Itself another spell OF weakness set In
because of the liberallty of the receipts
at primary western markets. These
amounted to over $4,000 bushels, COM
pared with $4,000 bushels the cores
ponding day of the year before. The de-
cline on that account took the price to
724Q72Bc, and when 1t in turn had be-
come stale the continental demand
scare was stirred up again and caused
another advance, which was not ar
rested until 73% @76Sc was paid about
noon.
Chicago received one hundred and
forty-one carloads and shipped $4,000
bushels, Minneapolis and Duluth got
three hundred and ten cars, compared
with two hundred and ninety-eight last
week and three hundred and slxty-slX
year ago. Exports from the chief At
lantic shipping ports were equal In
wheat and -four to $4,000 bushels. Brad
streets statement of the worlds visible
was reported as showing net decrease
OF 100000 bushels. That received
bearish Interpretation from the crowd
and caused aniimmedlate loss of the
advance last recorded, the price shrink
Ing to 7sc again In very few minutes
after Its receipts. The increase in this
country was only 203OOO bushels, being
500, 900 bushels less than was shown by
the official visible, indicating further
depletion of northwestern stocks In
country elevators. The decrease In Bu-
rope and on passage was 10000 bush
els. The sentiment continued bearish
up to the close. Increasing receipts
scared the longs and the much talked
of shortage abroad was apparently for
gotten In the desire to unload. Septem-
Der opened M@%c lower, at 72Aq7Sc,
sold off to T2%c, up to 73kc to 72%c, 10
73X Q737bc, then off to 729sc, which was
bid at the close.
Corn started easier but improved
slightly with wheat and on the repeti-
ton of bad reports from Kansas con-
corning the growing crop. These re-
ports were offset. however, by messages
from several large counties In that state
where the crop was said to be progress
ing favorably. The receipts here were
S95 cars and l,O63,O bushels were In
spected out Of store, Atlantic clear
ances were only 92,7OO bushels. The
market finally declined with wheat.

265sc. sold at 26Nc and 27Ac, closing

ued heavy throughout the session. AT
