Chicago, Sept. 4.-Cables on wheat
unchanged to &c lower and on corn
&c lower.
We can see nothing but a scalping
market ahead for ONE days until re-
ceipts are In large enough volume to
Increase the stocks and mills get suf-
ficient supplies.
Receipts Of corn are over the esti-
mate, and ii looks as though farmers
were beginning to let go of their sup
plies of old corn to make room for the
new crop.
The states east OF the Mississippi
have raised a large crop of corn and
the farmers in this locality will be
willing to part with their reserves Of
old corn.
Receipts Of oats slightly over the
estimate.
We can see nothing to advance the
price of oats.
Receipts Of hogs are light and we
look for a strong provision market for
some time to come.
