.CHIcAGo-It was a contest in wheat
to-day between small exports and the
weakness OF the minor markets on one
side and strong cables, small new
wheat arrivals and large visible de-
crease on the other. The result was q
drawn battle, September wheat closing
exactly where It rested yesterday. The
other markets did not fare so we'll corn
declining &c ard oats about the same.
Provisions closed unchanged TO 10@l2lac
lower.
Wheat opened strong on an improve
ment OF from N9itc per bushei, under
the influence OF an advance OF from 80

and then a long irregular decline en-
sued, the market resting at 66%g66Ac,
about ii O'Clock.
The advance at Liverpool was not the
only encouragement the bulls had TO
start with. The days statistical devel-
opments helped them also. Chicago re-
eelged 81 carloads Of wheat, Ave of
which were new. against l09 carloads OF
new received the corresponding day OF
the year before and Gi,5oo bushels of
spring wheat were ispected out OF store
since yesterday morning. Minneapolis
and Duluth got 1874 cars, compared With
27s the similar day OF last year.
The aggregate receipts at Kansas
City st. Louis. Toledo. Detroit and
Chicago were 1O3,SOO bushels, compar-
ed with $4,000 bushels last year. The
clearances OF wheat and flour from
Atlantic seaports we're again small at
equal to $4,000 bushels.
The seaboard advlces regarding for
eign demands were contradictory.
New York said cabled offers
had been accepted and some more
worked besides. but Baltimore wired
TINT no acceptances, and not even de-
cent bid, from abroad had been receiv-
ed. The market here rallied easily
from breaks and broke again with near
" equal facility, but efforts to get the
price permanently below yesterdays
closing figures were unavailing. After
its first decline September rallied
again to q shade over &c, and was 6Ihc
when Bradstreets visible was made
known. That showing q decrease In
Europe and ahoat OF 100000 bushels
and in this country OF 1,446,OO0 bushels.
or within trifle of 5000, 900 bushels total
decrease, caused quick rise to 6llsc,
but II dropped again to &c In the fol-
lowing ten minutes. That was the
price asked at the close.
In corn the favorable weather caused
speculative sentiments to incline to-
ward the selling price, and caused &c
decline during the morning. The firm
ness Of wheat, however, acted as n con-
slant restraint on short selling and che
market recovered part Of the loss later
in the day, following the general I'M
provement. Trading throughout was
light and mostly professional. Local
receipts amounted 20 IA cars Septem-

Market for oats was dull and inclined
to sympathize with corn. Most OF the
crop reports were bearish. although
there were some conflicting statements.
The cash demand was good. Total re-
ceipts were III ears. September opened
unchanged at ishc and gradually de-
cllned 10 1sc. closing at lsGlshc.
Provisions started steady but soon
became radically weak. The break In
