PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, August 7.-To-day's grain
markets were again largely influenced
by weather conditions here and
abroad Wheat closed at an advance
of s4@Bc, the factor being the sharp
advance at Liverpool occasioned by the
wet weather in England. Corn ad-
vanced %Q78 influenced by the hot
winds which are playing havoc with
the crop. Oats advanced Ac and pro-
visions scored 212c advance all around.
AT the opening in wheat and for a
few minutes after, an exceedingly live
ly business was done, compared with
the almost utter stagnation of recent
sessions. Early quotations from Liv-
erpool furnished big surprise to 10
cal traders, showing an advance in
that market of 1AQ13sd. The advance
was said to be due to exceptionally
bad weather all over the United King
dom, greatly interfering with harvest
ing. Opening quotations in Septem-
Der ranged from q to a full cent over
yesterdays closing prices. the range
being from 761s to 7612c. But there
the advance stopped and it took but
a few minutes Of heavy realizing which
started at once to force prices back
quite materially. Offerings for some
time were heavy, long wheat coming
out in large quantities, principally
from local holders, though houses with
foreign connections were also promi-
nent in the selling. There were ap-
parently plenty Of buying orders on the
market at 76c and under this estimate
was not often allowed below that fig
ure up to the noon hour, the lowest
point touched up to that time being
1880. After noon the market which
had gradually become extremely dull.
became also heavy. The crowd was
evidently long and the market declined
to 75Ac, mostly from its own weight
Shortly before the close reports of
liberal export sales gave a better tone
TO the market and prices recovered
somwhat. September advanced to
76Ac bid and that was the price at
the close
Northwest receipts were 21O cars
compared with 3O4 last week and 800
last year. Chicago receipts were $40
cars. 69 OF contract grade Total pri-
1Aletiy 4SCSlptS were J40, UUU bushels
against 611,000 bushels a year ago. The
worlds visible supply according to
Bradstreets, increased 1,476,000 bush
els about what the trade had been
looking for. New York reported ex-
port engagements of so loads. Sea-
board clearances of wheat and flour
were 275,000 bushels.
Corn was dull for the most part. but
firm at all times. The market opened
strong and higher on continued hot
weather in the west which was report
ed to be doing great damage to the
crop. Offerings at no time were heavy
and the market easily absorbed them.
Country acceptances were light and
the shipping demand was good. Re-
ceipts were $40 cars. September rang
ed from SS1s to 3S5s@34c and closed
A@7sc higher at s3S1k@ 5sc.
