The marked continues to show but lit
tle m\nge and the fluctuations are nar

as good as the factors wish.
The recent rains have damaged the
crop In this section, and ae it now ap
pears, shows a decided falling off In
quality.
We wbuld again call the attention of
the planter to the importance of gin
ning and packing his cotton dry, at

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago^ Aug. 29.—The elevator men,
with Armour In the lead, were buying
September and selling December wheat
today, thus arranging for the carrying
enlarges on the wheat in store tor three
months more, which speculators and the
country it large were selling their long
September end 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
%c. under yesterday. Before the market
opened the club was weak and with a
loss of %c. from yesterday, trading be
gan. December wheat opened from 56H
to 54H; sold between 56% and 66%; clos
ing at 56%a%. Elevator people were busy
buying cash wheat at a decline of % to
% of a cent from yesterday.
Com—Some mild raiding In corn kept
prices down In the market today. May
com opened from 52% to 52%; »old be
tween 52% and -61%a52; closing at 62%—
% under yesterday. Oaah corn was in
fair demand. Price* were %c. per bush
lower.
Oats—Bradstreets reported an Increase
of 2,130.000 bushels In available stock* of
oats. This la one reason for weakness
In this market. The absence of any out
put waa another and the weakness in
wheat ^td corn caused the other two.

Carh oats were weak and %c. lower.
Provisions—When hogs were up products
were higher, and when they declined
products weakened. This waa 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 cum« from all puarter* at the
close; January pork and ribs were un
changed from yciUrdsy, and January
lard 3%c. higher. _ ^

LAMSON'S GRAIN LETTER.
Special Wire to Lyon* * Jam**.
New York, Aug. 29,-Cable* were weak
and very discouraging, which, together
with the enormouie northwestern receipt*
of l.242 cor*, agntnst 2* the same day
lart year. Including Chicago, brought out
some km* wheat, and Uquldatlah was In
order from the very atart. The opening
waa a shade lower In price and with the
lack of absorption, prices gradually mud
off. soon reaching 6414c. far December,
a osa of (4 to %<■ frim the doae last
night The lh*t delivery day on Septem
ber contracts fast nearing, the bulk of
trade was chancing over to future months
principally December. It I* a noticeable
fact that th* feeding of wheat at one
time waa thought to become quite a fac
tor, I* gradually sinking Into oblivion
for tb« present. Primary arrivals today
aggregated 1,339.000, the largest yet, and
a million over th* same day last year.
Total clearance* of all porta of whaat
and flour equal about S.009 bushels. There
was a slight reaction experienced towards
the latter part of the sc f si on on a sudden
spurt In corn through' frost talk, this soon
died out and the cloein* waa barely
steady.
Corn on the more favorable crop bulle
tins Just Issued, th* opening was weak
end lower, there waa liquidation, but the
raiding of the paat day or so waa not an
noticeable. The bar Set waa vary heavy
and gradually sank to 3IT(o62 for May—
a loos of (4c. from the doe* of yesterday.
Later predictions of sharp frost for nor
thern Minnesota and Wisconsin vas a
sharp reaction ot a half cent; It waa but
momentarily, however, and dosing was
ateady.
Ooats, regardless of large receipt* and
tbs wciknees In the other grain market
waa held fairly steady throughout the en
tire see Won for may. even big Increase
of 2.39t,'VW bushels In the visible supply
by Brad street had no apparent effect
on the market, and the c’oelng was
about at th* Initial quotation for th*
May position.
Provision* wort stronr and higher at
the qpsnlnf, with a fair demand, princi
pally tor lord and ribs, prices quickly
showed a gain of 16c. for September and
