KANSAS WHEAT
CROP c 70 P. IS 5 !; SMALL }
SHORT ESTIMATE or YIELD HAS
4 1uLLISH EFFECT ON THE
81 MARKET.

Chicago, July 31.-An estimate that
the total wheat yield Of Kansas
amounted only to 100000 bushels
against previous ideas of sixty to
seventy million bushels had a bullish
effect today on the market here. Be-
sides, there were unfavorable crop adj
vices from the northwest, and from
Russia and india as well. The fact
that offerings were light tended also
to tighten pit conditions in general.
The opening was shade lower to &c
up. September started at 80 to 90Ac,
varying from a sixteenth down to y,
at Nc advance and rose to 90Hc.
A big increase in the United States
visible supply led, srnstantiated to a
reaction. The close, though, was Arm
with September at 39A @89Hc., a net
loss Of Nc.
Corn was easy on account Of fine
weather. Meagerness Of receipts, how
ever, acted as bar 20 any radical de-
cline. September opend Nc off to q
shade up at s3%@e3N to SAC, and
showed disposition to keep within
that range. @ eE .5aFR.
The market later however, sagged
with wheat. The Gloss was steady with
September 4 down to e3A @63Ac.
Liberal arrivals madessoats weak at
the outset, but the wheat strength re-
suited in rally. September started Is
to n lower at 4OA to 4oRc and adj
vanced to 41@41Mc.
Increased cost Of hogs put up the
market for provisions. First sales were
2h to 2k@25c higher, with January
delivery 1855 to $3.50 for pork,
$s.571a ford lard and ss.s7h for ribs.

Seckel and Gardner played out the
match and the former tied the course
