WHEAT WAS HIGHER.
Decrease In Visible Supply and
Rally in Corn the
Causes.
WHEAT SUMMARY.

CHICAGO. Aug. IA decrease in the Wis
ible supply, together with rally in corn,
strengthened wheat. September closed asc
higher and December &c September soon ad-
unchanged. Lard lost -,2Q5c, and ribs are
21ac lower.
Wheat was depressed in the first part Of
the session by the fine pogress being made
with the cutting of the spring wheat and the
commencement already of deliveries from the
new crop. Minneapolis received nine cars
new spring wheat, and there were about Is
carloads offered and sod in the sample mar
ket here. The visible supply decreased 2S9, 600
bu, compared with an increase of l, 12S, 600
blu the corresponding week last year. Pri-
those at the similar period Of last ysar.
Shorts grew nervous when this became known
and covered freely. 1t took strong market,
however to infuse a little more buying spir-
about on hour from the close. September,
WEIGH had so.d as low as 635sc, recovered to
642$c about fifteen minutes from the end.
Chicago received 1873 cars, against 24S last
year; Minneapolis and Duluth got 217 cars,
all but one car of which was received at
Minneapolis. Atlantic port clearances of
wheat and flour were POP 900 bu.
September opened AQAc higher at 64A@
64ssc, rose to 641ac, sold of to 639sc. then e.
covered to 642s@641ac asked at the close. De-
cember began &c up at 64as@641Ac,, firmed
vanced to 64G64Ac, the closing price
continuance of rains throughout the West
where drought had been feared started corn
easy. The bul.ish ardor suffered in conse-
quence, and short sellers were embo,dened
to increase their lines. The pit was well fill
ed with offerings, and this, in addition to a
rather tame demand early. forced prices off.
Near the close Of the session the decline YVES
more than recovered on influential buying by
bulls, under the conviction that the rains
had come too late to remedy the damage al
ready done; September began AaAc down
at 331s@33Ac, declined to 325s@32Ac, then
frmed up to 331ac asked at the close.
Unfavorable crop reports, accompanied with
buying orders from the country, caused the
irmness in oats. Early the market was sold
off by professionals, but later the decline was
more than recovered. September opened NC
higher at 207sc, rose to 207s@21c, declined to
1885, then recovered to 2OHc.
Provisions started easy on selling by pack
ers, and ruled dull nearly all day. Toward
the end of the session prices recovered with
the closing rally in corn. September pork
started 21a@5c lower at s9.35@9.37h up to
$s.40, declined to 1896, then rallied to SAT-,
the closing figure. The range in lard and
ribs was inconsequential.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow are:
Wheat 2S5 cars; corn, 100; oats, 465; hogs,
$1,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

THE SHEEP INDUSTRY.

1t Is set forth in a bulletin on the sheen
industry of the country recently issued by
the National Live Stock association. that
while tie industry, as a whole, was never N
q more prosperous condition. the lamb crcD
does not show as large a pc centage as usuai
due mainly to the universal cold rams dur,
ing the Landing season. All SECTIONS report
forage to be the finctt in ten years. and the
lambs are larger aEd after than usual at
this time of the year, the only exception be-
ing in one or two limited sections along the
Pacihc coast, where drought has prevailed
According to information receiv d di.ec.
from owners, it appears t. at less sh ep wi
be. marketed this year than last. The high
price of Western wool, IA to IS cents per
pound, and the fancy pric rad for Western
allfalfa-fed lambs on the Eastern markets
makes it much more profitable for breeders
TO grow wool and lambs than mutton. 1t is
too early yet TO correc L. estimate the wool
crop, but it is believed that an increase of 10
per cent is conservative fgure.-Brad
