CATTLE-There was a light run here
even for a Friday only about thirty-nne
loads being received. The receipts show a
decrease OF about twelve loads as compared
with last Friday and a decrease of seven
teen cars as compared with the correspond
ing day last year. The quality of the cattle
was fairly good.
Beef steers constituted the big end of the
receipts today and there were nearly as
many cornfeds as there were westerns
There was good demand for supplies from
all sources and sellers found conditions to
their advantage. Activity was a feature
of the trade and, although about half of
the cattle were late in arriving, a clearance
was made in good season. There were not
many choice steers here, but the general
run was good. On the cornfeds, where
quality showed prices were strong and in
some cases a dime higher. Commoner
grades OF both natives and westerns were
not wanted very badly and were barely
steady. The good western cattle were in
about the same condition as the choice ma
tives and the general market was strong
to a shade higher.
The COW and heifer market was good
and active. Buyers wanted the cattle and
were willing to do little better than yes
terday. Natives and westerns were in
about the same supply and were picked up
readily at stronger prices.
The trade on bulls, veal calves and stays
followed other kinds of cattle and stronger
prices were paid for the better grades,
Stockers and feeders were in small supply
and were not in good demand as yester-
day, AS usual the latter part Of the week
the market was a little slow, although
prices held fully steady. Representative

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.--ClearinE weather in
the northwest eliminated speculative inter-
esq IN wheat and left the market dull and
TENDER corn is up &c oats are on a shade.
Provisions closed from 2tsc to NC lower.
An early indication Of weakness In north
western markets was reflected here by an
initial decline in September wheat % AQlkc

further down the scale. Rains In the spring
wheat districts having seemingly been re-
sponslble for the recent advance, its cessa-
ton was the signal for a return of bearish
sentiment September declined TO size and
although some short lines we're covered at
that figure the market acquired no buoy
ancy. The close was easy, with September
q shade above tho low point at slAdGac.
Bradstreets exports of wheat and -four
for the week were LOSE 900 bu., as against
l,OI3,OO0 for the corresponding week last
year. Clearances Of wheat and -four were
equal TO 1000 bu., compared with asa, 700
for I'VE days last year. Primary receipts
were COG, 900 bu., against Isl, 600 a year ago.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts Of 262 cars as against 356 last week
A good demand for corn for export was
the dominating feature in the market for
that cereal. Prices were easier under
scattered selling by small holders who were
pessimtstic under promises Of large yield.
55he taking on OF a large line Of old crop
mission house brought about a mild re-
versal Of sentiment and advanced all de-
liveries. New September which was down
h1Ac at the opening, at 52S44527sc, gained
an even cent over the opening but re-
acted and closed steady al 534c Local
receipts were 305 cars, OF which 1856 were
Of contract grade.
Scattered selling by commission houses
caused a shade OF a loss in oats after
which prices did not very much. Demand
for export was reported good and this had
sustaining influence. September ranged
between 27sd26o and 26hc, closing steady
at 26c Local receipts were 262 cars.
Provisions were steady, although prices
suffered to some extent from realizing
sales by local holders Packers favored the
buying side and there was moderate
shipping demand. September pork closed
l7i5c of at $l4l5, lard is down SC at $772h
and ribs made a net loss Of PFC at SS.72ih.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
81 cars; corn, 296 cars; oats, 2S2 cars; hogs,
