Breadstuffs and Provisions.

CHICAGO-All speculative markets
on the board of trade to-day were duh
to stagnation for the want of outside
orders. Wheat was weak, partly on
heavy receipts, and closed at Nose
decline. Corn, advanced &c on reports
of hot weather damage. Oats closed
unchanged. Provisions were still un-
der the influence OF the yellow fever
scare, and closed 2E920c lower.
Yesterdays heavy export engage
ments, which last night were placed at
100 loads. were the influence In wheat
trading at the opening, there being no
Liverpool market on account of the
English holidays. Opening trades vera
made at 4 slight advance. September at
f5aS 475kc. compared with yesterdays
closing OF 75A @75Sc. But the market
was not supported. On the contrary,
there were plenty of selling orders,
principally by yesterdays buyers, and
the market soon broke to 75hc. Bust
ness. which up to that point had been
moderately active. then died away al
most entirely, and the cessation OF the
selling pressure resulted in another
slight advance In September to 754sc,
but after the total primary receipts had
been posted the market again turned
weak, and remained dull and heavy to
the close. Bull traders were apparent
ly. unwilling TO hold their wheat over
Sunday, and their dislncllnation was
perhaps Increased by the weakness
shown by provisions. Receipts Of new
wheat also had their customary effect
on trading. The shipping demand was
reported slow. while southwest advlcss

Oats werc In fairly good demand by
spectators and shippers, and the mar

range, despite liberal receipts and IA
vorable weather. The cash demand was
good although the actual business done
