CHICAGO BOARD OF GRADE.
Future Grain ana Provisions.


CHICAGO. Aug ga bearish telling was
prevalent in the wheat pit throughout the ses-
sion. Chief among the early influences was
the marked increase this week over last IN ship
nnents from Russia and the Danube. There
also notable gain in the amount OF
grain on ocean passage against decrease,
which the trade had been led to expect The
result was easy opening with September
unchanged to kc lower at 1910 to 1eAc.
There were a number of prominent shorts who
appeared willing to cover at the lower figure
and offerings readily absorbed Notwfth-
standing that fact, the market acquired no
buoyanuy.- On the contrary further recess
sion to T9kGpT9Hc occurred. A decrease of
S10. coo bushels in the visible supply restored
result of their efforts. coupled with the sus-
tanning influence OF large numbers OF reseiiing
orders executed by COMMISSION houses, was a
rally to 701a for September, at. which figure IT
closed. with 4 steady undertone.
The market for corn was easy al the OP an
ing the heayiness in wheat deterring those
who might have bought the moderate re-
cepits and the heaviness OF shipments Sap
tember was down nc at SIC at the open
ing. The strengthening influences were felt
later and with offerings light the early loss
enced by crop statistics laler became pro-
nounced and the market sagged off. closing
barely steady at 53c.
Oats were dull and easy, keeping within mar
row limits sand closing at the bottom, Sep
tember closing at 25s1c.
Provisions were unsettled with tendency
toward weakness. Liquidation in September
pork broke the prices. September pork closed

There was nothing new in Butter yesterday,
but Cheese was weaker, with the commission
merchants still, selling the market down in
their efforts to work off their excessive stocks.
Eggs remained as before, the market being
quiet
Complaint is. made that some Eggs are COM
ing in from Petaluma which have been sub
jected to some kind of preservstiye which
turns the yolk 70 a sickly and repuisive whit. .sh
color and gives the Egg a bad odor and the
she'll dull hue. The commission merchants
will not offer these Eggs to even second C ass
buyers, and say that this practice ought to be
Immediately frowned down upon. Several ship

THIS RAILROAD Is TO be over so
miles long, about IA miles are I'm opera
tion. 13 additional miles are now being
built; and freight and passengers are
being carried. along with the construc-
tion, producing over $4,000 earnings
last season on an average OF only about
10 miles operating at. that time. With
this large showing. made during con-
struction, il is very evident that the
earnings will be very large when Road
is completed. especially considering the
rapid increase in development of the
rich country. through which this Road
runs 1t is supplying and opening up a
section Of the richest mining country
known--the Cape Nome Gold-heIds."
Teaming cannot practically be done in
that country and there are no navigable

u. s. is less than I cent per ton per
mile); Passenger rate on this Road
about 20 cts. per mile-again showing
