 CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Weak Liverpool cables and generally fine weather throughout the United Kingdom and Continent started wheat lower. Some phases of the domestic situation, however, were anything but favorable to the hears. As the bullish factors began imme- diately after the opening to be emphasized by figures the market quickly threw off the inn precision with which 1t started. Chicago re- ceiyed only 16 against 149 the correspond ing day last year. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were v carloads against 250 the pre- vious year. In consequence the shipping de- mand for wheat was extremely good. The threshing returns from Ohio said to have forced a reduction in the estimated yield In that State Of fully 60 per cent from month ago. That was also helpful to the bulls. The close was fsQ&c higher Tor September Decem- Der is unchanged.
 The first bull inspiration corn has had in several days was the statement to-day by the Price Current claiming that only three quarters of a crop would be raised. This seemed to brace the nerves of some longs who needed en- couragement to keep them from selling out. The general tone of the market became strong and continued so to the end. September closed with gain Of 12QNc.
 Harvesting returns. which showed an in creasing deficiency in the crop, together with the strength of the other grains. advanced oats. September closed lac higher.
 Provisions ruled firm on light speculative offerings and good trade in the cash products. The rally in was also an influence. Pork left off sc higher, lard 10c and ribs SC higher.
