Spot sales hers today were 5.SS3. and an we said ' eaterd iy, it may be that spinners are finding it necessary to replenish their stocks that nwst have been very much roiuced on the other side as we certainly anew ih'y are in this country. It may be necessary for the American consumer to begin to anticipate more demand for the manu factured' article by buying the raw ma terial now on this decline. It might be that the new receipts will meet with an active spot demand. This mark* im proved 5 points and lost one.

Chicago, Aug. 3.—The large pyramids of corn that have been built during the late rise In these cereals tfrere rudely bh.iken during the first few minutes of today’s session. In wheat the selling was general, New York being prominently connected with that side of the market There won no particular change In the situation that could be* seen or heard of, but the fact thut the strength of corn had simmered down had Us effect In wheat When corn rallied later, there was a corresponding recovery to wheat, succeeded by another reaction. Septem- wheat opened at 64ft to 54ft; declined to 63 ; h; closing at 53%—ftof a cent under yes terday. Cash wheat was in good demand with prices ft v cent lower than yesterday. Corn was nervous and Irritable today. Tthe professional, was notoriously wrong all day. •'* Ho bought at the top, sold at the bottom; went short and covered when prices adv& nce.l again, ettra sthtAfl UK; prices advanced “again. At the start the selling was participated in by everybody and for a time it looked as if the entire framework of the advance was going to pldces, but after a substantial break, the market steadied, became firmer and then advanced. Before the close there was some realising, on which a soft spot developed. The possibility of manipula tion in September corn, owing to tho light supply, and to the fact that on indi vidual owners most of the contract stock has driven the trado Into May. September cotn .'opened at 49ft to 49ft; sold between 50 and 48ft; closing ft under yesterday at 49ft. ‘ ^Iay closing ft unuor yesterday. Cash, com was strong ..at, Unchanged prides. ' . Oats—There was a good ouside trade in this grain today. The disposition wax to follow com and wheat, but the buylig orders supported the prices even when the most important markets were weak. During the first part of the day a large amount'of long stuff was sold out. Sep tember oats closed ft higher than yester day. Cash oats were ft cent per bushel higher, with shippers buying. Provisions were strdng from' the lack of offerings and good demand. The high er com market is begging to the extent of Its influence In the provision • trade, with the effect of deferring holders from selling their poducts. Tho business was light, the principal feature being the bidding for pork by a prominent commis sion house, and by some of the packer©. September pork closed 22ft cents higher than yesterday. September lard 15 cents higher and September ribs 7ftal0 cents higher.

J.—Early In tl»^ day local trading was very bearish and prices soon receded ft cent form the opening, which was at about yesterday’s dose, but very weak. The big break In com, aided by the decline aa did New York, who reports the market with very'little outside trade and unimportant foreign operations. There was considerable activity displayed by the scalpers buying ^at the decline for a leq^tlon, and later on frost j’tponx me market rallied, covering nearly aU Its decline. It wus but momentarily, how ever, gradually easing off again on lack of suLUxinkng Influence, closing at within ft cent of the lowest point of the day. Toul clearances, all ports, wheat and flower, about 250,000 busnela Local re ceipts continue quite liberal, today’s be. :n? fully up to tbe estimate, 600 cars, and although the primary arrivals are not quite as large for the past day or two they exceed by 250,009 bushels, the corres ponding day last year. There is reports of another 100,000 bushels charter of To» ledo heat for Chicago, but as the dis crepancy in prices of the two markeu has become materially reduced, the char ter Is considered old business. Corn—News today outside of the frost scars wes but a rehash of former Influences. The open ing was strong at about yesterday’s dose, and although there wo* a slight advance in the September option, which is cred ited with being manipulated, the mirket soon broke, declining 1ft cenU on liberal offerings. saVl to be parties controlling the September option. The country de mand having been apparently gotten filled up. Later on predictions of frost for Iowa tonight, everbody wanted corn, and as a natural result prices again ad vanced. Foreign advice* were strong aod high' advance was soon checked by liberal offerings. Oats-The principal feature of this market was the countty buying, which was well met by professional selling so that no advance was scored, the market, however, was held Arm throughout tho entire Besslon, prices remaining nominal. Local receipts were quite liberal. 251 cars overrunning the estimate about thirty cars. Provis ions—Exceptionally strong, particularly pork, which- wus advanced on a few outside order*. The market had narrow prices and lrregulai. Liras on Brothers & Co. NAVAL STORES. Savannah, Aug. 3.—Spirits turpentine firmly held at 28 cents for regulars; re ceipts, 749; tales, none.
