THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.--Increasing sup
plies and lower foreign quotations dis
couraged buyers in the wheat market
today. Fear of heavy deliveries on
September / had also a depressing In
f1uence. There was free selling of the
September option by a leading ex-
porter. Warehousemen simultaneously
offered December on liberal scale.
The market opened v to " down and
descended still further. but reacted on
scattered commission purchases. De-
cember started u to ss of at 103 to
1OSh, sold at 1929 and rallied to 1890

Oats, though easier with other grain,
received good commission help. and

to V cent off. at a6h. yielding later
to SO.
Liquidation by longs weakened pro-
visions. First sales were unchanged

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Aug. 31.--The cotton
market opened steady, but at a decline
of fifty points on August and of 4@11
points on later months, which were in
fiuenced by easier cables and reports
of freer offerings for new crop shipment
from the South. There was little SELL
ing of August. said to be against cotton
brought here over night by express. and
the price broke to Is cents. or 140 points
under the closing figures of last night

within 2Q3 points OF the opening
figures ON bullish private crop accounts.
A local authority issued a report plac-
ing the condition OF the crop at 7s.1
against 76.4 last month.
The last sale for August delivery was
at is cents. there being no business in
that position during the last hour of
trading which ended at midday. Later

COTTON FALLS FROM 20
TO Is CENTS A POUND.

NEW YORK. Aug. 31.-Trading in
August cotton. which has shown such
sensational fluctuations in the market
during the past week, ended at noon
today, and the last sale recorded was at
18 cents a pound. comparing with 20
cents, the extreme high level reached
on Monday and again on Tuesday
morning.
The action of the market this morn
ing suggested that the speculative short
interest had succeeded in covering on
the advance of the earlier week. AS
there were no speculative shorts, appa-
rently, who were forced to buy, the
price broke quickly.
The first sale was at 1890, comparing
with 1910 at the close last night. From
that figure the price went down to Is
cents, or 140 points below the closing
figure of yesterday. and cents under
the high record. Possibly 500 bales
changed hands on this decline. The last
sale was made at 12 o'clock at IS cents,
and later there was an offer at 1850.
There was no excitement whatever.
Later deliveries were only moderately
active during the morning and after
opening 4911 points lower showed no
particular features.
