[ Special Telegram to Tun UDE.I Thcro was n little flurry In September wheat to day that caused otno excitement for a few minutes , but nsido from that the ninrkot ruled dull and uninteresting It was sadly In need of "elixlration , " to use a newly coined phrase descriptive of Urown-Scquard's rejuvenating process. StatUtlcs nnd most of the now * hud n bullish flavor , but there wait no snap to speculative Inquiry nnd values didn't appreciate. Indeed , the market scorned to have an undertone of heaviness , four out of five of the scalpers were bearish , but their influence Just now is not Important Tlioir operations sometimes mnko a change of } o of * such n matter , but those trivial variations In quotations possess no signifi cance. The news that was most Industriously circulated for speculative effect was a dis patch from Russia via Now York that thn Russian crop would bo on nvcrnRQ ono and that It would exceed the recent estimates. This report had not much influence In viovv of the recent otllclal and seml-ofllcliU utterances to the contrary , but it was used ns a club , and tlioro was consid erable ) selling on the strength of It by Gcorgo Smith , Cudahy and others. English cables were flatly contradictory , but those usually regarded as the most reliable represented the weather as unsettled and the inarnot firm on that account and small offerings. New York operators had it that the foreign market was depressed mid lower on clearing weather and expected heavy shipments of American wheat. Not strictly in harmony with the bear information came well authen ticated reports that ocean freight room was in demand at the ncaboard for "wheat to ar rive. " ' In addition it was learned that now business to the extent of nine boat loads hail been worked in Now York. Tim amount on passage dccrcasod 830,000 bushels. This was a bull item of no consequence.The northwest continues to keep tno mails and wires laden with bearish advice and opinion , but as yet the statistics do not particularly favor that sldo. Receipts of spring wheat are not coming up to expectations , but It might bo well for those who are disap pointed because the whole spring wheat crop has not yet been shipped in from tno country to remember that a year ago yesterday n hard frost destroyed millions of bushels of wheat in the northwest. This year the crop has been saved , but the date is nevertheless very early to go Into niouniinp over the fail ure of the crop to como to the front. Ttore were r.uns throughout Montana , the Dalto- tas and Northern Minnesota yester day and last night , and a cold wave of considerable severity is fol lowing. The approaching cold wave caused a small-sized scare in corn , but trade is so lethargic that actual frost in the corn country would hardly "wake 'em up , " seem- Inply. The Impending low temperature had no effect on wheat , however. December opened at 78'fjC , advanced sparuiRly to 78J < © 7Sc , and sola off to 7T77Xc. From that point there was u rally to 77 c , and that was the point at which a largo proportion tion of tno business of the day was done. The market clung to % < " . with a sort of tor pid tenacity. Toward the close , however , the Increased offerings produced a weak fooling and the price cot to 77c , where it rested at the close. August opened at 77 } c , ranged at 77@77J.fa nnd closed at 77 * < b. September opened at 77) ) , which was } e advance over yesterday's lust price , and was led up to 7J < o , with only a few sales. The prlco subsequently worked back to 7GJ c and closed at 70j4@70Xc. As compared with yesterday , near months are Just a shade better and Into futures } { c lower. The usual. featureless uiid dull corn mar ket was not deprived of its recent character istics. The foreign markets wcro steady to firm , and export inquiry at the seaboard was good nnd shippers hero wcro frco buyers. The clearances from Atlantic ports wore small , and New Orleans only figured for a shipment of 10,000 bushels. The wcnther throughout the corn belt was favorable for the growth of grain , but colder weather was threatened from the extreme northwest. Prices underwent but little change. Septem ber , the active month , being confined to u range of loss thun &c. It opened at 85 } @ 85c , sold down to SSk'c and closed at & } ) , ( & Oats were dull within % e range , ruling nearly steady. Heceipts were less than ex pected , though they proved liberal. In the speculative market thuro was little desire to trade , with some business in No. 3 white oats for this and next month. No. 3 August weaker nt31@24Ko and September nt i& c. May oats were offered moderately at 24o and September stood near SOJ c. with August at n shade discount. No. 3 oats to go jto store Bold chiefly at 'J0'b'c. In provisions the day's developments showed little o'r no chungo in the situation. Pork and lard exhibited a trifle more strength , but for short ribs prices receded tea a lower point than yesterday under unex pected selling. Offerings of short ribs ex ceeded the demand as u ruin , and ttio char acter of the realizing rather indicated liqui dation upon the part of some of the tired holders. The trading generally was com paratively slow and the buying witnessed presented no special feature. The day's uctuul changes In prices show u decline of Do on September and October short ribs and an advance of 2f@5o on the saino deliveries of lard and BCJTJyO on all pork futures. Janu- nry lard uud short ribs closed unchanged. CHICAGO lilVIS SjCOOIl. CHICAGO , August 20. [ Special Telegram to TUB BEB.I CATTI.B.

[ Special Telegram to TUB Br.E.J STOCKS Ar-.tlon In stocks yesterday , resulting In losses of J ffljf per cent through the entire list , did not cause nny additional bear talk or liopo. The ad verse news was sufllclcnt to ordinarily cause n flurry and u much sharper decline. The fact that little stock was brought out and was taken by peed parties rather afforded encouragement to the bulls. Action In trusts was traceable to the banks , nnd goes to show that the best Institutions are un- wllllngto accept those securities on tluio loans. It also goes to show that the bank interests will Ognt any unreasonable raid on tno part of the bears touching standard railroad shares. This loft the bull sldo of the trade feeling bolter last night , notwithstanding the losses recorded during the day. The effect was also felt this tnornng when the market opened with animation and first prices generally . ! s@X P ° r ccnt ever 'ast ' night. The only feature WAS the transac tions in trust stocks. The sugar trust was remarkable , with n gain of 2 per cent at 109. Cotton oil , however , resumed Its decline of yesterday and dropped to 48 , against 49 lart evening.

To-dny's ' operations on the cattle markel amounted to considerable In the end , but wcro devoid of life. There were no strlctlj choice or loppy beeves on the innrket , Less than half of the cattle were natives , and n very large proportion of the olTcrinirs was made up of westerns , Texans nnd half- breeds that bad boon fed moro or less corn. Few of them wcro good , and even those that had hud some corn wuio not vary fat. Aside from a few odds and ends the native beeves sold nt $3.50ai.
