ress was brisk. September opened &c
over yesterday at iSiS1fS@sc, and SOLD
to T25sc during the first half hour. Liv-
erpool showed an advance OF a41sd and
reported that there was no Argentine
wheat being offered, and that the Amer
lean stuff was cheaper than either Rus
sian or Danubian offerings. Northwest
t!dings were In no wise less gloomy. and
estimated the yield from 50,0OO,O0O TO
100,000,000 bushels for the Dakotas and
Minnesota, while the Manitoba minis
ter of agriculture reported that that
province would raise not to exceed five

lowed the opening bulge, and Septem-
Der dropped TO 7T3sc. The market.
