CHICAGO , July 31. Corn licsllated In Ita
ncnsatlonal advance today nnd was lo lower
at the finish. Good rains In the corn belt
nnd the prospect of moro caused the de
cline. Wheat was weak , Influenced by corn
nnd heaVy receipts , nnd closed with n IOSH
of % c. Oats closed ' o lower and provisions
.tvltl'i but llttlo change.
In wheat there was an active trade durlnR
the early hours , but later the market became
rather quiet. The feeling displayed WOH
weaker. Opening trades arc nt 53'ic for
Beptemhcr , n % o to Tie decline , nnd after
Belling off a fraction more , advanced % c ,
then broke % , rallied % c , chnnRcd some
nnd closed with September at D3c. The
, \veak opening was Influenced by the break
Jn corn and the rains , the crowd selling
freely anil the market became oversold , A
few buying orders started the "shorts" to
covering , which caused the early advance.
There were fresh lines put out on the rally ,
the liberal movement nt winter wheat points
and MK receipts In the northwest , being
over twice ns largo as n year ago. At
Minneapolis and Duluth It acted as a de
pressing factor. Another bearish feature
war the chartering of two cargoes of wheat
at Toledo for this market , n bo lit 200.000
bushels , and there was talk of bringing wheat
here from Detroit , but this lacked confirma
tion. Cables were firmer , but only respond
ing to the advance here yesterday. The
principal bullish factors of the day were the
heavy exports , the total clearances of wheat
nnd ( lour footing up 695,000 bushels , of which
225,000 bushels was In flour.
There was less excitement In corn and
not so much anxiety displayed , the situation
becoming moro settled , Influenced by better
prospects for the crop. Outside buying or
ders were much less numerous , but on the
contrary a good deal of selling was done for
the country. The general tone was easier
nnd lower prices ruled from the start. The
market opened with considerable nervous
ness , with trades from I'/tc to lc decline ,
at 45VJc for September , and gradually rallied
I'/ic for September and lc for May , worked
back from Ic to I'/dc , ruled steadier nnd
closed with September at I5c. Local longs
were more Inclined to take profits and rather
more disposition was displayed on the part
of professionals to sell , the Impression being
more general that the crop will be an uver-
nge one , with the yield In some states off
setting the deficiency In others.
Oats were easier In sympathy with corn.
The range for the day was % c for Septem
ber.
Provisions opened weak on the decline In
corn , but rallied later on fair buying nnd
Scarce offerings. Compared with last night
{ September pork and ribs are unchanged and
September lard 2'/4c ' higher.
Freights at % c for corn to Buffalo. Char
ters were made for 200,000 bushels of wheat ,
from Toledo to Chicago , at lic.
The leading futures ranged as follows :

MISCELLANEOUS.
In the winter sea on , especially about the
holidays , the traile In both foreign and domestic
nuts Is n very large Item of tiuslnvsri nt this
iKrlnt. They nre handled by huuses engaged In
several dllTcrent lines , as the grocery Jobbers ,
mnnufactuieis nnd Jobbers of confectionery , nnd
by the fruit houses. The sales of nil the houses
carrying nuts would run up Into good round
numbers. In view of there factn the following
from the New York Hulletln n-gnidlng the new
ciop of llrnzll nuts will be of general Interest
to the trade. From Fcbiuaiy 19 , the d'lle of the
Hist arrivals of new crop Hrnzll nuts , there hiive
been received In thl.i maiket 44,537 bags. Cone-
spondlng period last year the Imports were 21-
4UI bat ; ! * . It Is said In the tiadn that when
lubber Is dull and depressed the natives on the
Amazon turn their attention to the gathering
of nuts , nnd at ? uch n tlmu n huge quantity
can usually be depended upon to come forward.
Such certainly has been the case thin Ecaon ,
the market having been kept abundantly sup
plied since the opening , nnd today Is fnlily
well stocked to meet the prospective fall und
winter trade. Prices opened this year nt
primary points somewhat h.uher than usual ,
but In anticipation of a good maiket our Im-
porteiH clocked In quite actively and ( secured
considerable quantities , which action ,
however , wns subsequently regretted ,
us the market nt Para soon developed nn easy
tendency , nnd a gradual decline from the openIng -
Ing values occurred. Upon Hist arrivals heic
Importers farinl rather pooily , as they found
It an exceedingly dltllcult matter to obtain uilg-
Inal cost , and some business \\ns dune nt n
point that netted a heavy 1 > ss. Subsequent
transactions at primary sources , however , weie
completed upon mure advantageous terms , and
lather better results have been t-eciiio.l here.
though tlie business bus not been upon the whole
satlhlactoiy to Impuitets. Fi m London we
understand that a syndicate has been fanned
for Iho purpose of controlling the available
supply of thnt market , nnd with Iho view of
leaping heiivy prollts later In the season large
inucliHwr weie made In Para , nnd the goods
shipped hence nnd stored for future use. From
the Information that can be gntheied It uppers
thui the. syndicate tire not at present picparod
to meet thu requirements of the ordlnniy trade
upon terms Kallsfaclory to btiyeis , nnd the ie.
suit has been that n demand somewhat In ex
cess of the usual hna been experienced hoie
fiiim English buyern , nnd some considerable
tales linve been effected. The shipment of
these parcels have served to lighten the st icks
poswswd by Incnl Impotters , nnd we find today
n decidedly stronger maiket In consequence
Thu gnlheilng of the crop usually begins In
January , nnd being collected over a territory
covering fully K.WI miles on the Amazon the
shipments fiom primary s-iurces usually con-
tlnuo well up to August. No Information la
nt hand Indicating the remaining stock nt Parn ,
though there will undoubtedly be further ship
ments before tlm end of the present ciop IH
reached. The general Implosion Is , however ,
that the quantity lo come roiwuid can bo easily
cured for , nnd that thu anlvals will have no
special Influence of an unfavorable character
upon the situation.

NEW YOHK , July 31. The share Bpecula-
tlon today was very dull anil the transactions
were the smallest of any day In many week ? ,
aggregating less than 90,000 shares. The
market was tmrcly a traders one , tlie com-
mlsxion houses were without orders and the
dealings lor the foreign account were very
trilling. Were It not for Sugar the total
sales of tlie day would hove been Inslcntn-
cant Indeed. Uut that speculative football
was brought Into good play as usual , and
furnished the board room with a little some
thing to do. The stock was erratic In Its
movement , opening U per cent lower Ihan
the closing price of yesterday , the eliarcs
made a further decline of % per cent and
then quickly advanced * I > cr cent only to
Immediately give way again under a sharp
selling movement , which sent the price
down Hi per cent. At the lower range of
values there was EOIUO buying , which caused
it rally of % per cent , but a renewal of the
selling resulted In another reaction of %
per cent to 103'i , the low point of the day.
A rally of % pur cent , a reaction of % per
cent and a recovery of 14 per cent In the
final dealings followed , making the decline
on the day l'/B per cunt. Tlie grangers ,
which were heavy yesterday , recovered their
tone to Boinc extent , tlie decline In the price
of corn , due to more encouraging reports
from the corn belt , having the effect of ralB-
Ini ; the prices of the stocks , uurlington &
Qulncy and Northwestern opened unchanged
and Uock Uland was down U per cent and
St. I'aul % per cent ; subsequently Hock
Island and Uurllnglon eacli advanced % per
cent , tlie other two shares of the group not
going below the opening. Advances were
made of ' , < per cent In Northwestern , % per
cent In Hock Island and Burlington and 1
per cent In St. I'aul , which were not main
tained , the final sales being at reactions of
% per cent to ? f > per cent , except In the
case of Northwestern , which closed at
the best figures of the day. These stocks
wcro the only ones In which there was any
real speculation , but some of the specialties
recorded wide lluctuatlons on small trading.
New York. Chicago & St. Louis first pre
ferred making a break of 2 % per cent and
Minneapolis & St. Louis preferred selling
up 2 per cent. Pullman lost 1 per cent ut
the opening , but regained the loss on the
next sale , there being only two transactions
of 100 shares each during the day. The
movement ot the rest of the list was very
slight and the closnlg quotations show only
fractional changes from yesterday. The
market was fairly firm at the close. The
railway and miscellaneous bond market was
generally firm , but dull.
The Evening Post says : The greater firm
ness In the granger stocks was preceded by
a downward reaction In tlie price of corn.
Tlie connection between the two was ob
vious enough , especially when It Is known
that the grain and security markets have
this week been dominated by tlie same clique
of speculators.

TUESDAY , July 31.
The receipts today consisted of 2,010 cattle ,
20,681 hogs and 840 sheep , as compared with
2,712 cattle , 12,149 hogs and 240 sheep yes
terday. For the two days this week the re
ceipts show a total of 4,752 cattle , 32,833
hogs ami 1,080 sheep as against 3,173 cattle ,
1C.050 hogs and 1,01)9 ) sheep for the first two
days of last week. The total receipts for
July arc 53,721 cattle , 222,652 hogs and 7,866
sheep.
CATTLE There was practically no mar
ket hero today on cornfcd steers. There
were not many In the yards , for one thing ,
and the strike of the local beef butchers
prevented the packers from buying. In the
absence of n shipping demand the trade
was at a standstill. While not enough cat
tle changed hands to establish prices , the
feeling was weak and lower. A few cattle
were being killed at the packing houses ,
with such help as could bo picked up , but
not enough to amount to anything.
There were not far from twenty loads of
cows In the yards and there was more tradIng -
Ing In this kind of cattle. The market ,
however , was generally dull , at a decline
of lOc. Hough and common stock was slow
and weak.
Quite n good many feeders changed hands ,
as compared with the dally business of the
past week or two , but still the market was
slow. The rains In some sections of the
state may have produced a llttlo better feel
ing among the dealers In this class of cattle.
Representative sales :
DUHSSED HCEF.
HOGS The yards were full to overflow
ing. Some of the Iat3 trains could not be
yarded until the hogs already In were sold
and weighed and moved out. The cramped
condition of things naturally delayed busi
ness , anil It was late In the afternoon be
fore all the hogs were weighed up. This
Is not strange , when It Is token Into con
sideration that there were close to 21,000
fresh receipts and about 2,000 holdovers ,
being the largest number of hogs ever re
ceived In these yards. Hogs have sold ,
during the past month , lower than they
have during any previous July since 1890 ,
the year of the last crop failure In Ne
braska. During the first half of July , 1891 ,
they sold at about present prices , but the
market advanced rapidly the latter part of
the month , touching $5.41 before the close.
In July , 1889 , hogs were also lower than
this year. With th ? exception of the two
years mentioned , hogs nro now at the lowest
point touched at this season In eight years.
The highest point reached in July within
the period of eight years was In 1888 , when
the average price for one day was $6.37.
There are a great many half fat hogs
and pigs among the receipts , showing that
there is a scarcity of feed. The common ,
trashy stuff sold at all prices tiown as low
ns $2.50. The demand for good heavy 'and
mixed loads was quite- brisk and they sold
at prices that were strong to Gc higher.
Toward the last the market weakened , as
many of the orders were filled , and closed
flat , due In part to the strike among the
butchers of two of the local packing houses.
The good to choice hogs sold largely at
$4,60 to $4.70 with a $4.85 top. Representa
tive sales :

CHICAGO , July 31. After yesterday's cntn-
clymn (27.200 ( hcnil ) the nin of cattle t < xla >
( C.OOO head ) looked InslKiilllccnl , but It was ,
nflcr nil , about an average for a Tuesday , nnl ,
with tlie leavings of" the ilny tin-re was cnilto
enough. There was no appreciable clmngo In
values. The crowd was willing to trade on a
basis of yesterday's closing ( iimtntlnris , nn < l tin
liolilns wore Hot too hopeful regarding tlu > proK-
IICCIB for the remainder of the we--k then * was
not much haggling over prices , doml to choice
cattle were few , anil the tendency In that grade
was slfRhtly upward. Not so with tliu general
run of cattle. The drouth Is forcing on the mar
ket thousands of cnttlo Hint under more favor
able conditions would not come forward for
weeks to come. The outlook for common nnd
medium grades , then-fore , IK by no means hope
ful. They nre selling low now and murt con
tinue so. From (3.75 to (4.40 bought the bulk nf
the steers here today , nnd from (2 to (3 took
the grenter part of the cows , heifers nnd bulls.
Of TC.NUS entile there were nbout 2,000 head.
They were firm nt yesterday's prices. There
wns no do inn ml for stockeis. The dry weather
has temporarily hilled business In thnt brunch.
The hog nmtket righted up today. With ic-
celpts little more than n quarter ns Inrge ns for
the day before , buyers did not have things so
much their own way. In fact , they were re
quired to pay a pnmll advance on Monday's
pi Ices. The best of the offerings brought 15.20
lendlly , and In one or two tnptnnces (5.25 wns
squeezed out. The bulk of the hogs brought
from (5 to (5.15 , Indicating nn ndvnnco of 5c.
Common grades were sntuble nt from (4.95 to (5.
and poor lots were cloyed out nt from (4.80 to
(1.90. Iluyers made llttlo or no difference be
tween light nnd heavy weights , though the lat
ter showed rather the more strength , the pro-
nortlon of light hogs being on the Increuie.
The iccelpts were estimated nt 10,000 lu-icl , mak
ing 78S'J'J bend since Pntunluy , or 20,500 moie
than for the pnmo time last year.
There was no decided change In prices of
sheep. The supply was light , demand fair nnd
prices steady to strong , good muttons making a
small advance. Fiom Jl to (1.50 for scalhiwngs
prices ranged umvnnl to (3.40 3.50 for choir. ' .
Sales were largely nt from (2 to (3 , the quality
not averaging very good. The lamb market
was much better , advancing from 15c to 25c , or
to from 52.50 to (4.60 for poor to choice.

ILLINOIS HAS HAD It.VIN.
Drouth llroken In thn C renter 1'ortlou of
thnt StiitK-Ooiulttlon of Corn.
SPRINGFIELD , 111. , July 31. the Illinois
weekly crop bulletin Issued today says : Tho-
rains which appear to have been well dis
tributed fell over the greater portion of tho-
state on the 2Sth nnd 20th , many sections ,
receiving rain for the first time m several
weeks. These rains will he of Immenso-
benefit to corn and pastures. The drouth
still continues In the northeast and ex
treme southern counties. Considerable
damage was done In some sections to crops ,
by hall and high winds on the 25th , 2Gth and
2Sth.
2Sth.Corn
Corn up to about ten days ago promised
more than an average crop , but the con
tinued drouth and hot , dry winds havo-
damagcd It to such an extent that It will ho-
less than an average yield , especially whero-
no rain fell on the 19th and 20th. Corn
has been Injured from 30 to CO per cent.
In the central division , owing to the rains ,
of the preceding week , corn Is In much
better condition , while In the southern di
vision the conditions are similar to those In
the northern counties. The principal damage -
ago appears to be to upland corn , which , In ,
some localities , is Injured past recovery. ' 'I
Corn on the bottoms Is reported generally
In fairly good condition , with prospects of
an average yield. Pastures generally are >
reported In poor condition and ninny farmers
arc obliged lo feed stock. Threshing of
wheat and oats is Htlll In progress. Late
potatoes are badly Injured , but recent rains
may greatly bencllt tlicin.

DES MOINES , July 31. The Iowa crop ,
bulletin Issue today Bays : The past week
has been the worst of the season. The dally
temperature averaged 7 degrees above nor
mal. On the 2th ( ! , the temperature ranged
from 100 to 107 with winds twenty to thirty
miles an hour. U was the severest In effect
upon vegetation ever known In Iowa.
Light showers arc reported along the east
ern borders , and at a few localities In the In
terior , affording temporary relief In checking :
the prdccss of desiccation , Variable reports
are received as to the effects of the drouth
and hot winds upon corn. In the central and
southern districts the damage Is much
greater than In the northern belt. The con
census of opinion seems to be that about one-
fourth of the acreage planted will yield no
corn and but llttlo fodder. With speedy
substantial relief the state at large may pos
sibly harvest one-half an average crop , but
every day's continuance ot present condi
tions will lower the possibilities , and reduce
the output. Pastures are dry , and feeding
stock is now general. Late sown millet him
not sprouted. Potatoes nnd flax are greatly
damaged. Threshing returns show much
bettor yield of rye , wheat , oats and barley
than were expected. Heavy showers are re
ported at points In western Iowa this morn
