Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1o.-The publication of the
Government report came late in the day and In
jected animat tion into previously inert
session. According to the Government experts
the total yield Of wheat In the United States
this year will amount to $4,000 900 bushels
as compared with an actual yield last year Of
692 600 600 bushels. The Official statistics indi-
Gated decline of 4.5 points in the condition of
spring wheat. but this was more than Offset by
the enormous total yield of winter and spring
wheat. The Government report caused consd-
erable prohttaking and resulted In moderate de-
clines. Early In the day the market held quite
firm as a result OF fair advance in the price
of wheat at Liverpool. The close was weak
September opened &c lower TO nc higher AT
72A Q72Mc sold up 72%c. and then declined
to 11B@T2c. The close was &c or at re.
A total yield this year Of 2,65l 000 600 bush
els of corn, as indicated by the Government re-
port had a weakening effect on the corn mar
ket In general. The September delivery, how
ever, was upheld by small local receipts and
light stocks September closed practically un-
changed at 49Lc.
notwithstanding a bullish report for oats the
market closed barely steady. Official figures In
dicated a total yield OF sol, 900, 600 bushels,
which is II per cent less than the amount OF

THE STOCK MARKET.
Spring Valley Water Weakens on
Somewhat.

The principal feature the Stock and Bond
Exchange yesterday was the weakening OF
to the assessment of SO decided upon by the
directors Of the company though the official
announcement has not yet been made As the
assessment had been frequently forecast OF late
and was therefore expected Its effect had al
ready been discounted, hence the decline was
slight. Hutchinson Sugar was higher at s1425@
1880. and Bank Of California rose from $500
to 1862 so Sales of bonds were $40. 600. Maka-
well Sugar was ex dividend OF 80 cents.
The Southern Nevada Mining stocks continued
very active with the market still strong, and
a number OF the leaders higher. as will be seen
by the list Of sales. The Comstocks were quiet
and featureless.
