[ Special Tclepram to TUB Bnn.l Wheat prices traveled back arid forth within a rariRO of about MO to-day nnd tlio market was rather uluppclsh In temper and action. Trade WAS light and values established themselves on a slightly higher range than .yesterday. Opening trades in December were nt 70Vc. The market ad vanced to 70 ? c , reacted to 70c , rallied to TOlifc , around which point It hung for a long tlmo. About 12 o'clock it broke back to 78J < c on tlio receipt of intcltlgonco of the failure of another Boston leather house for 11,000,000. A recovery to TOJ/o followed and again the market took a tone of steadiness , with only light business passing. Too ilnal quotation was TO c. September started In at 77j c , ranged ut 7r77Jc tlio first hour , settled back to 77c , advanced to 77 o. slipped down to 77Jo , re acted to 77o , and cloned at 77o. There was a fairly active trade In August , which opdtiod nt 73if c , ranged nt 78 > fa77Ji'c ( , nnd closed nt 77 ; < o , In a news way tlio blackboards xvcra frightful. Upon them was recorded the fact that exports from At- lantlo ports amounted to 1 00,000 bushels in wheat nnd nearly that much In flour ; that the total shipments from eleven principal points of accumulation oust and west footed up to 025,000 bushels , against 039,000 bushels received ; tliat the local receipts were 157,000 tmshols nnd local shipments UIS.OOO bushels. One llttlo thing that excited unusual comment wus the arrival of thrco cars of new spring wheat from Nebraska , two of which eroded No. 2. This Is In a measure but confirmation to the predictions of an unusually early har vest and the movement of spring wheat the whole district over. Advices from many points In Dakotii und Minnesota Indicate thut harvest Is mnklng rapid progress , and if the wenthor keens good a forward move ment of tome Importance is expected to begin l.v the middle or 20th of August. This seems like an extraordinary statement , but a good many people here and In Minneapolis con fidently expect to see wheat "coming to the front" freely long before the end of August. It may turn out lute the anticipated "early movement" of winter wheat. Wheat started nil right and has neon moving over since , but such an enormous quantity was needed to fill up the chinks and supply the in tenor con sumptive demand that little impression has yet boon made In the augmentation of "visi ble stocks. " Warehouses in the northwest have novur been more nearly swept clean than now. Ofllclal reports from four olcvntor companies , embracing 309 elevators , show a total stoclrxof 01,000 bushels in the whole northwest. There are something like 700 elevators usually Included in the com plcto statements of the back country stock. The activity in the demand for cash corn was afrmn n feature of the market. Export ers nro Meady buyers and the homo trade also appears willing , to judge from the free movement towards consuming centers , to stock up ut present prices. Some uneasiness is also being expressed concerning the out- iooK for the growing crop , and some country buying orders were received hero to-day. Atlantic seaboard clearances' wore only mod erate yesterday , but that is for the moment curtailed by the scarcity of ocean tonnago. Trading was fairly nctlvo at times , but there wan not much doing In' the last hour and prices held up well throughout. August , which closed yesterday at 80 > c , wound up to-day nt 80c , and September advanced from aOJ/fSSlSJ c nt the close yesterday to BOK < 33Gc os the flnal quotation to-day. Outs were more active but easier in snlto of the indications of firmness in the other markets. Crcp reports continued favorable , nnd an element of weakness was the increas ing receipts of new oats. Selling orders were on a more liberal scnlo and n good spec ulative business was recorded , with August easy at 21c and next month at a simile dliv count , while May sold oft .J o to 25 c. No , 3 white for August wont at 25o anil No 3 white September ntJiUfc. No. 3 oats to go to store were quiet nt UlJ c. The provision triulo commanded fair at tention. In a speculative way there was no particular Iffo. but- operators were appar ently more inclined to favor the bull tlmn the bear siilo and on the breaks sutTored the shorts showed an anxiety to cover. In fact , the heaviest buying of the day was attrib uted to parties engaged In covering outstand ing contracts. The feeling wns quite strong nnd the improvement noted In the tone .yes terday was fully maintained. Prices were also higher , and at the adjournment pork und lard showed a not advance , based on yesterday's closings , of 7 > @lUo and short ribs of C@10o. _ CHICAGO LiIVE BTOOK. Cnioxao , , August 1.

The better grades of native steers were scarce , the receipt * oelng made up largely of coarse corn-fed westerns. The market ad vanced 5IOo on beeves und the offerings were soon picked up. Butchers' stock was quite plentiful aud sold lower. As showing the feeling a buyer remarked that butchers' stock was selling higher hero in proportion than anything else , and higher than at other places , and that tbo buyers would have to got It lower or lot It alone. Good leeders are wanted , but cattle of that class are very scarce and buyers are unable to fill their orders. Heavy and mixed hogs advanced EC , and the receipts being light were picked up In short order. The bulk of the sales were ut I4.07K and (4.10.

Perhaps ono of the most rcmiirkublo journtils in Europe If not In the world upjHiiirs dally ut Vienna , although wo must statent the outset that it docs not como to tlio view of the ( , 'onoml public. The owner nntl publifaher of this jour nalistic curiosity is no loss a person than His Majesty Fran : : Josef , Kmporor of Austria-Hungary. Ilo caused the paper to bo constructed for Ills private convenience. Franz Josef in a man of business , BO that the affairs of state take up u { jroat portion of Ills tltno. TIe hns therefore little leisure for reading the Vienna dally papers ; and if ho had this leisure ho would not gather from their columns what ho Ecoliti and obtuhib in the peru sal of his own particular journal , It is not enough for him to learn what Is go- lnj > on in tlio world from day to day ; ho is especially eager to ascertain what la thought of his administration in Kuropo and America. The preparation of this paper is as unique us la its yuruobo. The force requisite to its management is quito numerous , occupies A largo portion tion of the government building , and constitutes almost n department of It self. The nnnunl cost reaches $80,000. At the poop o' day the labors on this curioua shoot commence. The foreign papers nro then brought from the rail way station nnd distributed among the several sub-editors. Each paper Is care fully scannedand whenever there is discovered any nllnstoii , either director remote , to the Austrian eovornmont or the imperial family thoplaco is marked with n blue pencil and the marked papers are sent up to the respective sub editors , who cutdown , wherever this is possible , the marked articles. As the Imperial Review appears in Gorman language , and ns most , or nt least the freest criticisms , are found in foreign pnporsno inconsiderable amount of tha work consists in making transla tions. It is now late in the evening. All the matter , having by various hands boon reduced to the ono language rooulrod , is handed to engrossers , Before the early morning those must have trans cribed nil that hits been given them to copy ; for by that time it must bo ready for the emperor. Three copies of this MS. journalnre prepared , one for the em peror , ono for the minister of foreign affairs , and ono for the secretary of state. A fourth Is novur printed under any circumstances ; and not n soul who is unconnected with the preparation of the journals is allowed to glance into olthorof the three authorized copies. The emperor's copy is written upon the finest linen paper ; those for the minister - tor and secretary upon paper of a some what lesser quality. The writing looks ns if it were engraved , and must always bo up to this high standard of penman ship , no matter how great the pressure of time. When there is little political excite ment the journal contains but four or five pages , but there nro times when as many as sixteen or twenty have been written. It is the emperor's unalter able custom to read this paper as soon ns lie arises in the morning , and no ruler in Europe is an earlier riser than ho. ho.In In case an article of more than ordi nary weight strikes his attention ho causes his minister to bo summoned fern n consultation in regard to U , Rut ho reads the whole of its contents every daywhatover their relative importance , nnd thus ho is daily kept informed as to what is the judgment of the civilized world concerning his administration of the government.
