Y., Aug. 27.—Wheat lost 5ca bushe. to-day and the ‘owest point was about 10 poin s underthe top noich for the season. There were not enoush influentisl balls leit in the mar- ket to make a resjectable fight against the de- clining tendency. They have mearly all become interested in corn, which everybody in the trade has been educated to belleve is on the eve of a boom. Consequently when Liverpool opened away off this morning and followed It up with surther declines on later cables the local market simply went 1o pieces. I looked for a time as if the botiom had dropped out so rapidly | did prices ran dowu bi'i 1n response to the rain of selling ordefs with which the brokess bow barded the marke:. There was practi alls nu support other than that afforded by a little buying aguinst pus. Ibe December option seitled to 95c on first sales, which was & sheer break of 4c a bushel from Jast night. Theu it skirmished around for a time, bufteted up and down by conflicting orders, but soou settled into s steady deciive, which fin-lly lanced it half an hour befoie ihe close at 937%ec. From here it rallied to 9a%gc. where it jeft off. Selling was general duriug the dav. Local houses &nd foreign interests threw over lib- eral quantities. In all 11.500,000 bushels were traded in. At the close No. 1 no-thern wheat was quoted nominally #1064, und No. 2rea $1 0214 both f. o. b. atioat. Corn was not so active as yesterday, but showed plainly the haud of a strong - ull leader- ship ; while wheat lost about 5c a busnel corn Jost less than a cent and closed preity firm. Trhere was some rafu in Nebraska, but in cther important corn States drouch prevalied. Cabl-s were higher and soreizn bLouses boucht. DLecember ranged from 371gc to S315c and closed at 3734c.

This time it was the bulls who suftered, September dlosing 57sc lower and De- cember at a decline of 8%, af.er a session remark- ble for sma'l trading anaextremely violent fluc- tuai ons All the enthusiasm had apparently leaked out of Lolders of wheat 8l the opening. Liverpool fur- oished a disagreeable surprise to them, staruns 215@27d lower. ‘I bis was entirely unlooked tor after yesterday’s 2c advance here, and it fairly o0k the bulls’ brea:h away. There was practi- cally no demand for December wheat at the open- ing. The consequence was that it started at 9034 @%0c, or $3,@3%c below yesterday's close, and opped aiwust ‘lustantly 1o 893 A perfect 1190d of wheat was poured on the market for a few minutes. i cluding many stop-loss orders. During that time there was almost toial iack of ouying or- ders but they made their appearance at ¥:34c, and five minutes after Decem ber had raltied toy - c. September wheat wes hardly heard of for the accom- panied the unioading of Decemuer. t was ful y weak i the immeliate opening, however. | star.ing all the way trom 9.15 to 92.or a drop of exucily 1134 from toe highesi point reached ves- terduy. The exciement soon subsided aimost altogether, and fluc.uations from the extreme nsrrowness of tradiig were fr-quent and violeut, one or two moderate trades being sufficient to send the price up or down Laccr more. Thatsome my-ter ous bear influence was at work on the murket befer- the oOpening was ihe general opinion. It was stated luter on what was con- sidered reliable auth rity that a_ccmbination, cluding Char.es Couse man snd Jobu Cudahy, b-en formed to b that 1h great eccentricl y of t0-day’s market was due to the man pu ations of the new combine. Chica. o receipis were -62 cars, 0f which only 14 were contraci. ‘The quantity taken from s:ore was 147,000 bushels. Atlantic Lort ciearances again confirmed the senuineness of the ruropean demand for American whet and flour. The equivaient of 650,000 bushels was exported from the principal 10ris in the last tweenty-four hours. The market was steadied somewhal by the mid- day strength of corn, but became radicaily weak aguin on reports thal ioreigners were reseiling at the seaboard. December rose to 91ygc, but de- clined on that to 881gc. It bad recovered o 90 at ihe close. Sepicmber soid as high as 96, but closed ut 95 Corn was badly demoralized at the opening on account of the break in wheat, more favorable weather and heavy receipts, 1642 cars. ‘I ne open- ing weskness was folowed Ly a period of con- siderable strength with good country and foreign buying heip:d by dionght dawage claims. The market yieided laier. however, on heavy liquida- tion staried by toe late dec fne 1 whea , and was quite weak at the close. A beavy busiuess was transacted. A fairiy good busluess was done in oats. The openlng was weak with everything else, elevator selling be.ng conspicuous and quite a sharp de- cline resulted. Part of this was subsequently re- covered, but the market averaged weak. The openicg break in prices of wheat and corn caused provisions to sturl weak, notwithstanding small receipls 0f hos aud a considerable rise in their price ut the yards. The subsequent Fise in corn put the market climbing again, but the de ciine in that cereal later produced a selling pres- sure that Icst the producis all and something more than they had sained.
