Observation-Disclosures Of a spring
wheat movement on a scale cornmensu-
rate with the exceptionally heavy crop
caused a sharp decline in wheat to-day.
September closed 1sc lower and Deccm-
Der lost lie. Corn left OF unchanged to
nc lower. Oats are dhwn &c, Pork
advanced &C, lard TIC and ribs 10c.
Liverpool quotations instead Of show
ing any sympathy with yesterdays
higher prices on this side were a little
lower than the latest Of the day before.
First trades in September wheat were
at 66%c, down to G6hc, against 6I1s@
6Tkc, last nights closing figure. The
weather for maturing what was still
unharvested Of the spring wheat crop
was all that could be desired, and re-
ports from the Northwest were far from
encouraging to the longs In the market.
A dispatch from up north said 1t was
confidently expected Minneapolis and
Duluth would, In about two weeks, be
receiving an average OF 400 cars per day.
In addition to that about an hour after
the opening Minneapolis reported 10 a
bushel drop In price OF cash wheat to
arrive. Such Information and foreshad-
owings OF the future drove from the
minds OF the traders all concern about
to-day's actual receipts, which were as
cOnspicuouSly short OF last years move
ment as they have been for some time.
Chicago received 100 cars and Minnea-
polls and Duluth, 142 against 2SS last
year. The market was kept from get
ting radically weak for time by esu-
mates that Chicago would only have 100
cars of wheat Monday, but that gave
way again to the impending free move
ment OF spring wheat and the market
wound up very heavy. September
opened 4k6%c lower at 66iEGGG&c, de-
clIned to 65ikc, and closed at 65la GGj9sc;
December began MGIEc down at 64h0
G4kc: sold off to 63iSc and closed at
6S&c,
Corn was steady for September. but
December was sold with considerable
freedom and got to a shade discount un-
der the nearer delivery. The weather
was as favorable as could be desired for
the recuperatlon OF the sick portion OF
the crop The price however, was not
generally considered high for promise
OF an 100000 bushel crop that has stlll
to undergo the viclssitudes Of the
weather for another six weeks, Sep
temher started NC lower at 82]sIS2S6c,
advanced to 32Nc, and closed at 229sc,
Shippers were the only buyers to
speak Of In oats and that grain merely
followed the fluctuations Of corn. Sep
tcmber started unchanged to lsc down.
at 20Ac, weakened to 20Mc and finished
up to 20A G20Ac ut the close.
The yellow fever scare that shook the
holdings out OF the wcnk-knecd mem-
bers Of tho provision crowd yesterday
was to-day pronounced n matter of no
account except for such purposes as 1t
had accomplished. Buying by brokers
acting for packing houses quickly alb
sorhed The offerings and prices took an
upward turn near The close. September
pork opened Zoe down at 81 %; sold up
10 80 IL and declined 10 50 10. the closing
figure, September lard began unchanged
ut s. 30 and sold up to 81 80, the closing
prices September rIbs opened &c lower
at 81 1879, and rose to 81 27ia at the close.
