BY Private Wire from Ware 6 Leland
Chicago, August 8.-Wheat: Liverpool
closed Ac lower: Paris wheat, 20c lower,
flour 10 centimes lower; Antwerp un-
changed The situation in India is some
what improved. European visible, 81 200, 900,
increase 100000 bushels. Rains have pre-
vailed in the northwest and will be preva-
lent again tonight. Very heavy rains have
prevailed in Manitoba. Yield and quality
in South Dakota, it is said, will be dis
appointing. New spring wheat reported in
Minneapolis today and weighed so to 81
pounds to the bushel. Minneapolis flour
sales yesterday, $1,000 barrels, but they
must have been larger, for millers are very
heavy buyers of wheat, and are ordering
it out of store freely. Bradstreets visible
decreased 1267, 900 bushels. Clearances
heavy, 5S7, 900 bushels. We confirm ten
loads for export Have heard of no cash
business here or at Duluth. Primary re-
ceipts, $4,000. Shipments, $4,000. Stock,
in store here, public and private, TO- 226, 900.
Trade mas been rather light today at a
lower range of values. There was some
buying for the continent. The decline has
been well fought, and it is well enough to
say that values are down very near where
they were one year ago. Very little long
wheat was for sale, as holders generally
feel confident of their position.
Corn: Worlds visible decreased 1,7s0,0O0
Total stocks in store here, 47S,0OO. A
prominent operator was seller of the Sep
TENDER future but values have held up
well, considering the reports from the corn
belt There is very heavy short interest
in the deferred futures. Country accept
ances are light.
Oats were dull, but firm, 100000 bushels
sold for export at the seaboard We feel
friendly to the May future at present
prices
Provisions Shipments lard, 1885, 900 pounds
meats 3,600,O00 pounds. The Cudahys were
sellers, which created some weakness. Liv-
erpool was unchanged. Were 1t not for the
fear of yellow fever in the south no DOUBT.
more activity would be witnessed, as values
cannot be considered high when the con-
sumptive demands are taken into consider

By Private Wire from Fairchild & Hobson-
New Orleans, August S.-Liverpool. after
enjoying a holiday of three days, opened
today at an advance of half sixty-fourth,
which improvement was further increased
by the coming of additional orders, which
finally closed that market two sixty-fouIths
up on the day. Spots also came higher, the
advance being quoted 1-32 higher on sales
of 10000 bales. Encouraged by the good
showing of the foreign market, opening
prices here showed an advance of two
points over last nights closing with oe-
tober starting at the low point of the day.
The further Improvement followed the
closing of the English market was due to
the anticipation of a less favorable crop
report than last weeks and by buying at
New York for Manchester and Liverpool
account. The government weather report
when issued at noon was as expected, less
favorable than its predecessor, the tenor OF
which served to hold the market at the top

Talbot q palmer,s stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
New York, August S.-Until the last hour
the volume of business was only of moder-
ate proportions, in fact below Yesterdays
record. Almost every stock that had been
dealt in had scored an advance, and many
special movements occurred. The improve
ments extended to Az points in CONSOLIDATE
ed Gas, although officials had been quoted
as foreshadowing a reduction In the divi-
dend rate. There was special news to
account for the up movement beyond a re-
port of easier tone in the money market
and usual favorable earnings and crop
prospects. but about p. m. rumors became
current that the treasury department at
Washington with a view to easing the
financial situation in New York had de-
cided to redeposit considerable sum of
public money in gold with the banks The
amount was estimated at $l6,e00,000. The
market generally displayed increased ac-
tivity and strength until the close. Cover
ing of shorts In various stock was fea-
ture and there was also commission house
buying. Among the more noticeable adj
vances being gains in Jersey Central. D, H..
Anaconda Sugar, c. F. l. and T. C. l. The
market closed firm.

New York. August S.-The cotton market
opened steady with prices unchanged to l
point higher Immediately, commencing to
improve, maintained a generally firm un-
dertone throughout the session with occa-
sional intervals of partial reaction under
liquidation following very adverse infor-
nation from the growing crop. At the
strongest interval the advance was sol
points.
Without being decidedly active, business
was better than for some time, shorts being
the principal buyers. They were afraid of
the government crop report from Washing
ton, due Thursday. Gables were better and
few foreign buyers orders appeared.
This, together with a mixed condition of
crop news, started up considerable invest
ment buying. The market was finally
steady at net advance of 416 points.

Talbot 8 Palmer's Cotton Letter

By Private Wire from L. DeGumoens &
Son.
New York, August S--If amy change in
sentiment has taken place the past few
days 1t has been in favor of the bull side.
The. shifting Is due to the report of a good
many accounts or spotted crops. Whether
this indicates anything of consequence re-
mains to be SEEM We note a rather more
conservative temper In quarters inclined to
take bearish view of the outlook. 1t Is
recognized that We are passing through
the most critical month of the cotton sea-
son. and as consequence extreme caution
is being manifested. 1t would require no
great amount of buying to advance prices
While at this stage 1t appears scarcely pos
sible to break the market much at pres
ent prices. Reports of light rains at few
points came In this morning, but the fact
that Texas was still dry was cheering
news for the bulls. There was a slight i'm
provement at Liverpool which caused a
rise of point or two. Talk of spotted cot
ton was quite general, and this had little
effect on checking selling. There was some
suspicion that the crop after all might not
be doing 20 Kell. and tha weekly govern
