CHICAGO, August 23.-An improved

wheat pit. September closed 4ic higher
and December gained &c. Corn left OIL
l2c up. oats rose lsc. Fork is unchanged.
Lard advanced "a 12c and ribs &c.
Wheat started firm at about yesterdays
closing figures, became weaker lor a MN
ute or SO ana then became comparatively
strong and kept out he rise for over an
hour. AT the end OF That time September
had advanced TO 633ac as compared with
&C bid at the close the day before. De-
cember did not follow September further
at that time than TO the extent of &c
reaching case, when September was 63l2c
and gong no higher during the latter 5
further Lc Improvement. II was evident
from the extra strength in the nearer
delivery proceeded from some slight mis-
givings as TO the sufnciency OF receipts
in the near future. Chicaeo received 80
cars compared with 5S4 year ago. Only

until it shall please the fastidlous taste
Of the inspectors Minneapolis ana Du-
luth received 5I4 cars against 234 the SIM
liar cay the year before. Primary west
ern market receipts all told amounted to
$4,000 bushels against $1,000 bushels the
same day of last year. Bradstreets re-
ports the worlds visible 10 have de-
creased 3. 49S. 0t0 bushels and just previous
10 that announcement it became known
that a large business had been done in
spot wheat for prompt shipment About
21C.0N bushels No. red was disposed of
at cents bushel in store here above
September price. The cash business and
Bradstreets' statement together caused an
advance of September 10 6336c. but De-
cember stuck when il got as high as
&c on the last named bulge in September
London reported hardly any demand for
cargoes on passage and Beeroohms es-
tim2ted requirements of importing Euro
pean nations at 6,G@oO0 bushels a week
against S,o9o,090 bushels last year. The
firmness of the cash market, however
had the greatest influence with traders
who for the most part inclined to the
buying side. September opened unchang-
ed at Csc, declined to 627sn63c. rose to 637sc
and closed at 634c. December started I'M

strengthened corn September opened 1S4
CSC higher at Z9An30c, declined to $500
z9a4c and advanced to S01sc sellers at the
close.
Oats ruled steady in sympathy with
the other grains. There was little bus
mess done and the range was low Sep
tember began &c up at 1870, weakened
10 l42sGlSa4c advanced to 1889 ana closed
at 1880.
The strength of the grain markets kept
scalpers in position from the selling ara
there was no pressure from other quar-
tiers. September pork opened SC down at
$500 and sold up to sS.95, the closing figure.
The range in lard and ribs was incon-
seQuential. Estimated receipts to-nlor-
