CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22-The Liverpool market was 1i1d lower before the opening here than 1t closed last week That added to the bear ishness previously prevailing, and when just before the session opened 1t became known that the days receipts at Minneapolis and Du- uth 939 cars, compared with 315 the cor responding day of last year. the desire to sell wheat at the start received a fresh stimulus. It was under such circumstances that Septem- ber wheat opened with sellers at from 62Sc down to 62Ssc, compared with 63asc at the close Saturday. At the decline there not short in the trade but bad good profit, and it most natural proceeding for large num- Der of them to at take action to secure 1t. From that source came buying enough to cause a recovery in September to 631sc about tember kept the rise during the forenoon until it struck 63izc for instant. Decem Der kept following September at from 1asc to 1kc discount. As the most urgent shorts had again got dull and weak. Atlantic port clear ances of wheat and -four since Saturday were smaller than the recent average. The total was 600O00 bushels. September closed asq1zc lower and December lost &c.
 Brilliant weather, large receipts and free sales of cash by the country demoralized corn. Nearly every in the pit had large quanti- ties for sale, and as result of the extensive offerings the trade thrown into general confusion. September declined 12c.
 Oats were firm considering the weakness in the other grains. There good comms- sion trade with the demand generally exceeding the offerings. The close was unchanged from yesterday. Provisions were comparatively firm early. but finally yielded with grain. There was quite a pressure on lard and ribs through prominent commission houses. Pork left off un- changed, lard 10c lower and ribs down 10c.

The support of Americans here Is still small and mainly professional. but the Continent buyers and Berlin continue to support Northern "a boom in Americans is being started at the wrong moment: that Is to say, the public IS that on their return they will find prices too high for them. The reverse, however, IS quite as likely as the English public invariably join in a speculation at the last moment and when prices are top-heavy. After temporary relapse prices for Americans closed booming in the street, St. Paul leading. The other mar kets were featureless. Debeers mines were fiat.
