Horses.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS,
Aug. H.-Only about l25 head of horses
arrived for the initial sale of the week.
against 200 the same time last week, and
go the corresponding time a year ago.
The receipts included comparatively few
high grade animals and the quality gem
orally hardly satisfactory as last
week. There was a small attendance of
buyers, and with limited competition the
auction opened dull and the bidding was
lower. Shippers had not expected any
change in prices. consequently they were
very slow in transferring their consign-
ments. a few of the first sales, and, in
fact most of the best animals, were re-
ported at nearly steady prices compared
with last week. but usually the common
to medium offerings were considered a
shade lower. The arrivals were principally
chunks and drivers. and sales were largely
at s75@125 per head

CORN LED in STRENGTH
CLOSED HALF HIGHER ON SCAR
CITY OF OLD GRAIN.
Wheat Easy at n Quarter Decline
Onts a shade Up and Provisions
Practically without Change.

CHICAGO Aug. 1.-THE feature of the
speculative markets on the Board of Trade
to-day was dullness. The tone. however
was steady Wheat closed &c lower, corn
15c higher, oats a shade up and provisions
practically unchanged.
Wheat opened easy. The Northwest rains
had about ceased and the Illinois state re-
port made the yield 22.000. 900 bushels, COM
pared with the government estimate of 15.-
100000. These considerations gave the SELL
ing side a majority when trading began,
and September opened at 74s4 Q743sc. CSC un-
der the closing price yesterday. Liverpool
meanwhile was showing firmness, opening
sd TO Ad higher and advancing fraction
ally later. This was encouraging to the
bulls and induced covering by scalping
shorts. Corn exhibiting strength
which proved influential. Trading was
mostly local and on the scalping order, but
the market managed to ascend by slow de-
grees, September rallying TO 752sc. On the
bulge scalpers took profits and some reac-
ton followed, the close being easy. Sep
tember l4c under yesterday, at 747sq75c.
The cash business was not brisk, but 300,-
900 bushels were worked. The seaboard re-
ported forty-six loads taken for export.
Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour
were equal to $1,000 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts aggregated 1,0140O0 bushels, COM
pared with $4,000 last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 800 cars, against 2l0
last week and POS a year ago. Local re-
ceipts were sos cars, fifty-three of contract
grade.
Corn was firm but dull. The strength
was almost entirely due to the scarcity of
old corn, and not TO unfavorable prospects
for the next crop, such news as came 10 the
board concerning the coming being favora-
BILE. Contract corn for the week showed
decrease which leaves about 10000 bu not
including corn loaded or being loaded. To
