CHICAGO, Aug. 2a.-An improved shipping

Corn left off 12c up, Oats rose 1sc. Pork is
unchanged; lard advanced 5Q71ac and ribs &c.
Wheat started firm at about Yesterdays S

strong and kept on the rise for over an hour.

at the close OF the day before. December
did not follow September at that time more
than to the extent OF 1hc, and going no high
was evident from that that the strength in
the near delivery proceeded from some slight
mLlsgiyings to the sufficiency of receipts in
the near future. Chicago receipts numbered
IoS cars, compared with 3S4 a year ago. Only
one carload of tCday'S receipts were good
enough to be Inspected contract grade but
and duty of the elevator people to sc0ur, blow
and polish the remainder until it shall please
The fastidious taste of the inspectors.
Minneapolis and Duluth received 574 cars
against 234 the same date the year before.
Primary Western market receipts, all told
amounted to $4,000 bu. against $4,000 bu the
same day OF last year, Bradstreet's reported
the worlds visible to have decreased A. 39S coo
bu, and just previous to that announcement
It became known that large business had
been done in spot wheat for prompt ship
ment. About 100000 bu No. 2 red was dis
posed OF at about &c in store here above
Spot business. The cash demand and Brad
street's statement together caused an advance
in September of 13sc but December stuck
when it got as high &C on the last named
bulge London reported hardly any demand
for cargoeS on passage and Beerbohm re-
ported importing European nations at 620O.-
600 bu, against 5000, coo bu per week last
year. The frmness in cash. however had
the greatest influence with traders who were
for the most part inclined to the buying side.
September opened unchanged at 6Sc. de-
clined to 627sQ63c, rose to 63%c and closed
az 63Ac. December started unchanged to
1sc higher at 6l5s661&c, weakened to 611A6
6l9sc, advanced to 621sc and closed at 62c.
Reports of detoriation to the condition of
the crops from the extreme heat of the last
two or three days strengthened corn. SEN
tember opened at 29al @30c, declined to 29skt0
29%ic and advanced to 301sc, sellers, at the
close.
Oats ruled steady, In sympathy with the
other grains. There little business done
and the range was narrow. September began
Bc, up at 1S%4c. weakened to 196s@19Ac ad-
yanced TO 1890 and closed at 1870.
The strength of the grain markets kept
scalpers in provisions from the selling side
and there was no pressure from other quar-
ters. September pork opened &c down at
$3.50 and sold up to 1886, the closing figure
The range in lard and ribs was incopse-
guentai
Estimated receipts for tomorrow are:
Wheat, $50 cars; corn, 400 cars; oats 290
cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
