CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-In the hgurative lan- guage of wheat speculators the heavy receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth gave the bullish feeling a black eye. It did not matter that Liverpool reported advance in the price of futures or that New York sent word of nu- merous acceptances of last nights offers, and that France again bidding for wheat The market here found sellers in the majority at the opening and generally throughout the fore noon. September wheat had sunk into the rest month that has outlived its best days and en- tered the thirty last days of Its earthly career It was heard from only at long intervals and chiefly owed its occasional awakening to some elevator mans broker offering 1t for sale, as a hedge against wheat bought in the country a circular making an estimate of from 45, GOO 900 to 55, ,000, 900 bushels the size of the wheat crop of that State. Nebraska considered last years crop a heavy one, but according to the Government report the Nebraska wheat crop of last year was only 27 450, 900 bushels. To- days estimate gave the market another black eye that both optics got damaged du.ing the session. September closed 1h@1Ac down, and December lost Hc.
 Corn rather impressed its own character upon ditions reversed. Wheat being heavy 1t weighed upon and helped to cause the heaviness shown by the latter. December closed 1eQ%c lower.
 Oats dragged along after corn and wheat. De- cember closed Hc lower.
 Provisions yeilded some with grain. Tie decrease in stocks of lard 16. 900 tierces was dsappointingly small. The market suffered somewhat for lack of orders, the public taking very little interest in the market December 7hc lower.
 The leading futures ranged follows:

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept 2-There was & brief .. period of activity on the Stock Exchange this morning and a brisk demand manifested for a *few stocks but the dealing became more and more perfunctory the day proceeded The market was under the combined influence of :; the exhausting heat, the tightening money . market and the approach of the Labor Day holiday. It had fallen into complete lethargy by noon, and the governing committee was in- duced to. reconsider its refusal to close the Exchange on Saturday. and decided to su.- pend trading from 3 o'clock to-day until 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning. The announce ment of this decision demonstrated that the weakness of some stocks earlier in the day had been due to speculative short selling shown by the demand to cover shorts. Manhattan scored an extreme improvement after marked early weakness of 1Z, and Tobacco, after a loss of nearly points. recovered 1A. The early activ- ity centered in the Pacncs, the preferred stocks showing special strength on the decis- ion of the Northern Pacific directors announced later in the day to put aside reserve fund Of SS G00,co0 to insure the continuity of pre- :ferred dividends The common stock fell ofT a point selling by holders disappointed in ex- pectation that the surplus would be dIstribut ed as dividend on the common stocks.

NEW YORK. Sept 2.-R. c. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say tomorrow: The smallest failures recorded in any month for five years those of August No other mon h since the monthly reports were commenced by Dun's Review exclusively has shown defaulted liabilities as small within sl, ,000,000 and the ratio of such defaults to solvent business, represented by exchanges through all clearing houses. only SOS 70 in 900. is smaller by 2e.5 per cent than in any previous month. The clearings having been the largest ever known in August, and 230 per cent larger than in 1892
 The enormous volume of business in month usually one of the most inactive of the year demands attention. Postponement during the months of war of some contracts and purchases which have now come forward explains part of the increase, and the strong absorption of se- curities explains part, but there has also been great decline in the average of prices of all commodities. that 1t takes 6 much larger volume of business in tons or bushels to make up transactions amounting to a million more than in 1892 It Is therefore strictly true that business is larger than in the very best of all past years, and yet there Is every prospect of much further increase
 There Is no room to doubt that the wheat crop, even though 1t may fall shade below some estimates, will prove the largest ever harvested. and although Beerbohm estimates Europes crop at 232,o00.0 900 bushels more than

the last. that would be only about average Foreign buying has been strong. Atlantic ex- against 5,53l.75S bushels last year, and Pacific exports were 45S, sS1 bushels against 25S, ,651 bushels last year. But receipts are increasing ct the West and the price has dropped cents for spot. though the September option Is Nc lower for the week.
 The improvement in the iron industry has not only continued but becomes more impressive because after enormous business sales have satisfied the needs of great consumers for months to come the demand for products Is great that both materials and products gradually advance in price. Bessemer pig has risen to Sl0 55 at Pittsburg, local coke at Chi cago and anthracite foundry at the East are strong, and also bars and plates advance a share, with most structural and plate mills filled with orders for months to come, and 25 900 tons of rails sold at Chicago for delivery next year The advance in tin plates, in spite of production far greater than was thought possible not long ago. Is evidence that the con sumption of steel in that branch will be heavy The wire nall works also report better de mand, and the output of Connellsville coks has started up, gaining 10.0G) tons for the week.
 The wooen mills have rather better orders this week, but not enough yet to warrant running nearly full force, with the prlce or wool held at the West much above Eastern markets. and by those markets about l cent higher than the mills are bidding.
 Failures for the week have been III in the United States against 191 last year. and 22 in Canada, against 20 last year.
