THE WHEAT MARKET.
The Sentiment of the Trade Is
Bearish

Chicago. Aug. S.-There was a good de-
mand for cash wheat today, No. red
selling at &c premium over September
The latter, however. was weak, declining
lee and closing at the bottom. The mar
ket had no support from the short inter
est, which was well liquidated last week.
The sentiment of the trade is bearish, and
any indication of an increase in receipts
would be followed by liberal selling.
The best crop authorities adhere 10 a
yield rather over 200, 600 bushels than
less, and it is this feature that creates
the bearish feeling. Sales of 250, 900 bush
els of cash wheat We're reported here
Foreign markets were higher. Stocks in
Liverpool, 1,650,0eO bushels. show a de-
crease of nearly 250,000 bushels for the

about 50 per cent what they were the
same day last year.
The weather in the Northwest contin-
