CHICAGO MARI FITS.


fTntufe.
Chicago. Aug. 29.-Wheat experienced a
strong start because of disappointingly
small receipts in the Northwest and high
or quotations from Liverpool, although
the latter were not unexpected in view or
the advance on this side Saturday. The
visible supply statement showed 1000
bushels increase for the week. As a de-
crease had been expected the bullishness
OF the market received a partial extin-
guisher.
People who needed September wheat
and had found considerable difhculty in
buying were now enabled to nave their
wants supplied without shouting for the
wheat, sellers being compelled to take a
turn at the shouting. The estimate that
the carloads of whsat at Chicago for to-
morrow's inspection would number 400
was another blow TO the bulls i'm the mar
ket. That, I'm addition to the d~isappoint-
ment about the visible caused September

December was relatively firmer and did
not decline more than Hc while Septem-
her was losing ic. December was much
more largely dealt In than September and
was most p~ronounCedly active because OF
the trading future. September was din
cult to buy when wanted and hard TO sell
when that was considered desirable. Sep
TENDER left off &c higher and December
gained Adssc.
A good business was done I'm corn ana
in the main the market was strong. The
bone OF contention was the condition Of
the growing crop, upon which there was
a wide difference OF opinion.
Moderate buying by English houses held
provisions firm. Lard and ribs were COM
paratively stronger than pork. Septem-
Der holdings have been transferred or sold
and the trade was no longer under the
