Liverpool advanced 1 point, then reacted, and closed 1 point higher for the day on near months and the same as yesterday on others. Spot sales 12,000 bales at. teady and unchanged prices. In Manchester, yarns were quiet and steady; cloths quiet. New Orleans advanced 1 (a 2 points, bat lost Oils and declined 2 to 3 points. Spit cotton was steady and unchanged; sales 400 bales for export and 732 for spin ning. Southern spot markets jeere a trifle more active. New Orleans gold 1.600 bales; Oatveatou, 929, and St. Louis 525. Prices at the South were generally unchanged or weaker. Gal veston was easy, and Mobile and Sa vannah declined 1-I0c., and Augusia tens a shade lower.

Chicago, Aug. 29.—The elevator men, with Armour in the lead, were. buying September and selling December wheat today, thus arranging for the carrying charges on the wheat in store for three months mpre, which speculators and the country at large were selling their long September and buying December, trusting that time would bring forth something to help them out. Some of the new bus iness went into May, however, aside from this changing, there was scarcely a thing In the market to attract attention. Trading was at a lower range and with in extremely narrow limits, the close was 9»c. under yesterday. Before the market opened the club was weak and with i loss of He. from yesterday, trading be gan. Decetnber wheat opened from 56% to 66%; sold between 56% and 56%; clos ing at. 56%n%. Elevator people were busy buying cash wheat at a decline of % to % of a cent from yesterday. Corn—Some mild raiding In corn kept prices down in the market today. May corn opened from 52% to 52%; sold be tween 52% and 61%a52; closing at 62%- % under yesterduy. Oa^h corn was in fair demand. Prices were %c. per bush 1 lower. Oats—Bradstreets reported an increase of 2,130,003 bushels in available stocks of oats. This is one reason for weakness in this market., The absence of any out put was anottief and the weakness ir. wheat &f.d corn caused the other, two. Cash oats were weak and %c. lowey. Provisions—When hogs were up product^ were higher, and when they declined ‘ products weakened. This was the ac tion of the' market today. During the latter part of the session lard and ribs had more business to their credit than pork. The packers were the buyers and the selling came from all puarters at the close; January pork and ribs were un changed from yesterday, and January lard 2%c. higher.

Ne< York, Aug. 29.—Cables were weak and very discouraging, which, together with the, enormouse northwester ! receipts of 1,242 cars, against 269 the same day last year, Including Chicago, brought out some long wheat, and liquidation was In order from the very start. The opening was a shade lower In price and with the lack of absorption, prices gradually eased off, soon reaching 66%c. for December, a loss of % to %c. from the close last night. The first deliveryday on Septem ber contracts fast nearing, the bulk of trade was changing over to future months principally December. It is a noticeable fact thal the feeding of whea^ at one time was thought to become quite a fae- tor, is gradually sinking into oblivion for the preoent. Primary arrivals today aggregated 1,369,000, the largest yet, and a million over the same day last year. Total clearances of all ports of wheat and flour equal about 35,000 bushels. There was a slight reaction experienced towards the latter part of the session on a sudden Spurt in com through frost talk, this soon died out and the closing was barely steady. Corn on the more favorable crop bulle tins Just Issued, the opening was weak and lower, there was liquidation, but the raiding of the past day or so was not so noticeable. The barket was very heavy and gradually sank to 61%a52 for May— a loss of %c. from the close of yesterday. Later predictions of sharp frost for nor thern Minnesota and Wisconsin was a sharp reaction of a half cent; It was but momentarily, however, and closing was steady. Ooats, regardless of large receipt* and the weakness in the other grain market was held fairly steady throughout the en tire session for may, even big increase of 2,301.000 bushels in the visible supply by Brad street had no apparent effect on the market, and the closing was al»ut at the Initial quotation for the May position. Provisions were strong and higher at the opening, wUh a fair demand, princi pally for Hrd and ribs, prices quickly showed a gain of 16c. for September and October options.
