most sinister. BY only one German en-

CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-The first impulse of
traders in wheat was to buy, slightly
higher quotations from Liverpool over
shadowng for the time the heavy receipts
elsewhere. The result was an opening ad-
vance of about 1sm4c in December and
Ac in September December started at
1$@1hc and September at $3.50. A
short period of realizing followed. during
which December declined to 11Bc, but the
steadiness displayed by corn and some
rather bullish reports on the condition of
the spring wheat crop sent the price back
to the opening figures, where they held
for short time Everything else in the
way of news favored the selling side and
before II o'clock the market began to
weaken, and from that time to the close
deferred futures exhibited more or less
weakness. September however was
quite steady. The elevator people were
buyers of September on account of the
small carrying charge, and the premium
between September and December was re-
duced to Nc. Marked weakness deyel-
oped in the Northwest and a good many
selling orders came from that section,
which influenced the real trading. Both
Duluth and Minneapolis declined faster
and further than Chicago and predicted
a continuance of heavy receipts This
with the poor cash demand, had a marked
influence on trading in December and
of considerable liquidation and short sell
ing. Toward the close there was a ten
dency to cover by shorts who had sold
earlier in the day, and this caused slight
rallies. December declined to 79&c and
advanced to 71d7llsc, where It closed.
September closed at 69ac.
Corn showed considerable firmness in
view of the enormous crop estimates and,
after a period of weakness early. ruled
higher to the close. September was es-
pecially strong. December closed A@&c
higher.
Oats were steady but very dull, prices
keeping within narrow range. The mar
ket in general followed corn and closed at
slight advance. December closed a
shade higher. September &c higher.
Provisions were steady notwithstanding
the lower cables and reports of yellow fe-
yer at Key West. At the close October
pork was TIC higher, lard 7l5c higher and
ribs 71sa10c higher.

New York, Sept 5.-The buoyancy of

activity to the stock market, but outside
of these few stocks the market was mar

Shortly after the opening Northwestern

response was made in other numbers of

Transactions elsewhere in the railroad list
were quite insignificant.
There was a slight response in the early
dealings to the depression in the London
market. The bulk of the trading was in
the more volatile specialties. Tennessee

The announcement last week of the
withdrawal of prominent trust company

its decision to discontinue the practice of
charging for the collection of outside
checks, has brought the subject promi-

will be to shift part of the demand for
