Chicaro Grain and provisiona,

CHICAGO. Aug. 6.-There was only a mod crate amount of business in the grain and pro- vision pits today and after rather nervous session wheat closed strong, September being &@R higher September corn was unchanged, oats were up E. but provisions were from 2;s to l7Is lower
 Wheat ruled rather quiet throughout the day Opening prices were weak on lower cables and more favorable weather in the Northwest September being a shade to %9h lower at 7967oA The market continued weak the first half of the session on entire absence of news, which could be construed as favorable to the bulls, but toward the noon hour there was fair buying by speculators and the price again recovered. One of the main causes for the advance was the good export demand at the seaboard. Offerings limited the lat ter part of the day and this fact contributed to the late strength Under these influences September sold up to sos and closed at SoA @SoA. a net gain of %a%. Clearsnces equalled 222, 400 bushels. Primary receipts were 452,- 300 bushels against e2o,4oo year ago Re- ceipts. " rs. 29 contract; Minneapolis and Duluth reported o2 cars, a total for the three points of 2o9 cars. against l9l last week and 353 year ago.
 Trading in corn was comparatively slow owing to a lack of selling pressure and to scarcity of outside buying orders. Favorable weather conditions West and Southwest caused some selling early but offerings were well taken by local traders. The late strength in wheat helped corn prices and the close was steady with September unchanged at 52h af- ter selling between SEA and SPA. Receipts s9Seaps.Nl e. contract.
 oats 'sympathized somewhat with the early weakness in wheat. but offerings rather light and prices recovered without much ef- fort. The local bulls favored the buying side and there was also a good demand from some prominent commission houses. The close was firm with September t higher at 34h after ranging between 33% and 34k.

 Provisions ruled weak with considerable sell ing by brokers supposed to be acting for local packers The hog situation was easier and contributed to the depression.

t&3y Private Wire From o. w, Lee & Col l NEW YORK, Aug e.-Taking all things into Consideration and the cotton market at the present time does not appear to afford a very satisfactory investment This may not continue for very long and the atmosphere may clear up after an electrical shower almost any day. but while it does exist there is very little inducement to buy the distant positions and we cannot but feel that traders should use great discretion and more than the usual eau tion. There is the corner and big stock of cotton lowering over the market as one dis turbing factor, there is the Generalization and general anxiety in financial circles another and there is the decidedly favorable eondi- tian of the growing crop as the third. It will be remembered that a year ago at this time cotton was selling at 7.6o. not 9.6o. It win also be remembered that progress of the crop was like crab backwards, while the present crop is not only holding it's own. but doing better. There was every inducement then to buy cotton for higher prices. But at the mo- 1nent factors are not wholly clear. The usual deterioration during August should prevent any decline and make purchases a break ad- yisable. But there are several outside develop snents that may counteract for the time being ntrengthening influences No one knows what the outcome of the corner will be and 1t is a very dangerous operation. The gloom in Wall Street is not a very satisfactory bull argu- mnent. For these reasons we would only buy December and January on substantial breaks and would be content with quick profits. As we said before the atmosphere may be cleared up almost any day.

 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6.-Liverpool advices were disappointing. consequently market opened l64 points lower and shortly after de- clined additional on September and 2G4 on the later months. Values subsequently, ruled steady at the decline. but near the close shorts covering. fresh buying and supporting orders caused advance of 20 points from the bottom on September and lodIl on the 1, other months. August. however. was easier owing to the restricted spot demand and closed 22 points lower, whereas September showed a gain of 5 points and the other positions ad- vanced G. Scattered showers were reported in the central and eastern portions of the cotton belt. but no rain occurred in the western DOT tion. Unsettled weather is predicted the Western Gulf States tonight and Friday and probably showers over the greater portion of the district. Exporters and spinners continue apuathetic and therefore the demand for spots is practically nominal in America. The steadi- of the market does not bring In outsiders as weather conditions are favorable to the growing crop. On the other hand, there is dis position shown to sell as the near months are firmly held by the bull clique. While huctua- fions sharp and frequent the undertone seems steady, and sentiment Is in favor of the article, with such conditions existing we still think well of buying the late months on all decided declines and suggest taking profits on bulges

 NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 6.-Iiverpooi at its opening today did not fully reflect the down. ward tendency of the American markets dur- ing yesterdays closing hours, but later de- clined In sympathy with the. bearish feeling on this side There was. however. liberal business doing in spots with sales of 10000 bales. It would appear that the English mar ket when left to itself is inclined to do bet ter, but is engaged largely in the careful ob- servation ofs events on this side; cables say it is difficult to give an opinion of any value In the present helpless state of Wall Street. although more business Is pending in Manches- ter and that the market feels the influence of the iateness of the coming crop. Buyers in the dry goods market 1t is reported, are affected to some extent by the uneasy feeling in finances and are inclined to operate very eau flously. although considerable anxiety is mo- ttced as concerns early delivery. As we have previously stated. fiiictuating market may be looked for until more information Is obtained. and that the time is hardly ripe to begin the seasons campaign. Waiving aside the ques- fion of intrinsic merit. it must be admitted that cotton has but few friends and the steadi- ness of today Is truly remarkable. All the features are against immediate enhance Yient in the value of the staple and unless some unfavorable news is received from the friends 1t looks now as if 1t would work 7oyVer femnorariiy

Virgin G Faunce's Cotton Letter. rF3y Private wfrel

NEW YORK, Aug. e.-There was steady opening to the cotton future market today the initial time being 2 points lower to 4 points higher. The English market news was somewhat better than expected and there was q fair degree of support through brokers over the floor. The New Orleans representatives were credited with buying a fair scale, though It was freely stated that some members of the DUH party are making an effort to close out some Of their contracts. The August options movement however, reflected more or less uncertainty in bear circles and there was con- siderable buying for this account despite the favorable climatic conditions and swme heavy selling for the account of the erstwhile New England leader The late market displayed more or less nervousness. September cotton was sold quite freei vat times and other months declined in sympathy. The feeling generally was quite unsettled apparently. The movement of cotton continued moderate. On the close 1t was generally conceded that the professional clements were in control of the situation.
