CHICAGO MARKETS.


CHICAGO, Sept 6.--wheat held very
steady during the first hour. although the
conditions were regarded as bearisn. Some
OF the cary transactions were at isc or
more above the close Saturday. The
strength in corn was an influence TO wheat
ard besides there was Il good deal OF prof
it-taking by shorts. Offerings were small.
with the competition sharp, and prices
held firm FOR time, The enormous re-
ceipts IN the Northwest were regarded as
discoura giag The strength with which
the market opened was fairly well main
tanned until the visible supply statement
bushels increase. compared with $4,000
bushels decrease the year before.
That Increase was some hat heavier than
expected. and prices dropped on IT'S re-
ceipt 10 iec below the highest poiu. rrevi-
ous,y made for December ana "a below
the top for September Al the close Sep
,emher was &c lower and December Is
lac higher than Saturday.
Lower temperature and reports OF killing
frosts in some districts strengthened corn
eagly. The fear that TIE government re-
port. due this week, might not show any
deterioration since August l. however,
acted as partial counterweight 30 the
general bullish surroundings OF the corn
pit. December eft OF Sc higher
