CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-IIigher cables, good
export engagements and rains in the
Northwest gave a firm tone to a small
wheat market today September closing
at an advance Of %QBc. Corn was help
ed by continued hot weather and closed
Bc higher. Provisions declined a little
for pork and lard, ribs closing unchang-
ed.
Wheat started with a meterIal advance,
September at 761sGG76$8c as compared
with Yesterdays close of 1850 Liverpool
quotations, always an important factor
in this market, showed an unexpected
advance OF 2sQAd, and this strength was
reflected in the opening here. There was
a moderate buying demand from local
shorts al the start, but the advance did
not result in any pronounced increase
in the volume of trading, and after the
first lew minutes prices dropped little
under realizing and SeinnS by prominent
commission houses. For most of the
forenoon, in fact, the tendency was
toward lower prices, traders apparently
seeing no profit in wheat aC I6c and over,
and on one or two occasions the Septenl-
Der price was forced down to 75@751sc.
Most Of this selling was in the nature OF
realizing by traders who had bought ear
Her in the week, but 1t Was never heavy
enough to cause real weakness. The
market in fact was for the most part eX-
ceptionally dull. Late in the session q
firmer tone was developed, when reports
business was being done, and prices
gradually recovered. AT the close Sep
TENDER was quoted at 76BWl612c.
Northwest receipts were 233 cars,
against 235 last week, and 156 year ago.
Chicago receipts We're 166 cars, AZ of con-
tract grade. Aggregate primary receipts
were $50 600 blu, compared with S24, 900 blu
a year ago. Shipments from primary
points, however, were fully as remark
able, $4,000 bu. Seaboard clearanceS of
wheat and flour amounted to 10000 bu.
over $4,000 bu wheat was reported work.
ed for shipment here, and the seaboard
reported engagements of $50 loads.
Corn was very dull, but strong and
higher. The continued hot dry weather
West and the conviction that unless i'm
mediate relief heavy damage will result
was the main factor in the strength. A
prominent trader who has been through
Nebraska was very pessimistic in his
views and was moderate buyer all day.
Business was largely local. Receipts
were 167 cars. September ranged from
SSc to 3SfsQ3S$4c, and closed zsc higher
at 3S5sc.

Offerings came principally from elevator

sional Receipts were 397 cars. Septem-
Der ranged from 2l24c 70 2215Gl221lc, and

Provisions were dull almost to the
point Of stagnatiOn. There was a gen.
orally easier tendency. especially during
the morning, heavy receipts Of hogs and
lower yard prices having depressing
effect There was some recovery from

good. At the close September pork was

ALARMS THE FRENCH.
of New Russian For
eIgn Minister Unsatisfactory.

NEW YORK. Aug. "a dispatch from
Paris says: Count Lamsdorff's appoint
ment by the car as minister of foreign
affairs has created something akin TO a
panic here in political and financial cir
cles.
The count has always leaned more
strongly in favor of an understanding
with Germany and Austria than with
France. and is known here as a pronounce
ed adversary Of the Franco-Russian ALL
ance.
The latter has become very strained
since Partisan financiers declined to have
anything to do with floating the last Rus
sian loan, and the sudden recall to St.
Petersburg of the Russian generalissimO
and the chief of the general staff who
were here in consultation with the French
war department, followed b. Count Lams-
dorff's appointment, seems to indicate
that the alliance for the sake of which
France has made such big sacrifices is
on the eve of rupture.

Butcher offerings were limited to few
punches of cows and heifers, and quality
averaged common to fair. No fat steers
on the market Prices steady. Dizziness
was quite apparent in the stock cattle d.
vision. Buyers wanted only good heavy
feeders and choice stockers. and there
was but little on the market Bunches
were sorted over very carefully, and
every thing common to fair refused, ex-
cept at very low prices. A little medium
grade stuff Sold low. but common could
not be moved
