Little wheat was offered for sale, and shortly after the open- ing the change in the aspect of outside mar kets, which have been relatively weaker than Chicago for some time past, but which to-day were comparatively stronger, Induced some cogering by the more timid shorts, and a good advance in yprices took piace, December opened_at 71@71%c and advanced to TLha@Tlc, while September opened Yc lower at 63%c dnd advanced to 70%c. The advance was sufficlent to induce realizing, which carried prices back fracticnally, but after a long petfod of com- parative dullness, during which December hung around 7T1%@71%c, the continued strength of the Northwest and other outside markets and the improvement in the export demand increased the volume of trade in the specu- Jative market and again advanced prices. The strength shown by September was especially noticeable. Thers was a good demand for | this from elevator people and shorts, and the spread between September and December nar- rowed to 1%c. The strength was in spite of the liberal country movements and free offer- ings. Buying by shorts was quite heavy dur- ing the late trading, and the best prices of the day were reached shortly before the close. December advanced to 71%c and closed at 715 @M%e. September sold at 70%@T0%c an clogsed at T0% Corn' was steady for December and about steady for deferred futures. Reports of seri- ous damage by hot dry weather were received, and lake rates were reduced about %c, help- ing the corn shipper that much. A premium over September was bid for cash, but it was | difficult to get. Reports of rain in Illinois and n general desire to reallze caused an easler feeling during the latter.part of the session. December closed 3c higher. A fair general trade was done in oats. Prices in the main were influenced by the action of wheat and corn and ruled a little higher throughout. er.

Boston Wool Market. 1 < | _BOSTON, Sept. 8.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow: The trade as a whole reports a quiet market | during the past week, but a few houses have | consummated some good-sized deals, and as a result the total sales of the week aggregate a large total, one house alone disposing of about 000,000 pounds of wool, comprising 1,800,000 | pounds of Montana. Most houses report a small business, but there is no diminution in 1e strength previously shown, and wools con- nue to be stiffly held, generally at top Lz- ures. Manufacturers, it appears, have been | testing the market for all it is worth, and are doubtless satisfied that they have had a strong market to butt against. All cheap wools are practically eliminated and old mothy wools have been pretty well cleaned and gone into consumption, S0 that the markets present a clean stock and a price which is low to-day compared with that of other countries, particu- larly on fine wools. There has been consider- able looking around on the part of manufactur- ers, and lots of sample bage have been taken, | which, it is belleved, will lead to a good bus { ness ih the course of a week or two. Manufac- turers are buying only such wools as they need, however, and little speculative tendecy i§ noticeable in the market to-day. The sales of the week in Boston amounted to 6,100,500 pounds domestic and 000 pounds foreign, & total of 6,640,000, against a total of | 3,655,000 for the previous week and a total of 1 1,815,000 for the corresponding week last year.

WHEAT—The Glenard takes for Antwerp 12,- 365 ctls, valued at $13,600. Chicago opened firmer, with St. Louis and New York buying freely. Broomhall cabled that the political situation was causing firm- | ness on the other side. There was no cash demand, however, and Bradstreet's gave an increase of 2,500,000 bushels In the world’s vis- ible supply. Buyers held off for lower prices. The weather was reported dry and hot n the winter Wheat section and there were numer- ous complaints of damage to Corn. At the clese the strength in Corn aided Wheat.

Hay and Feedstuffs. There 18 o change in Feedstuffs. The circular of Somers & Co. says of Hay: “‘Matters continue rather uninteresting, with no improvement of any kind, either in the de- mand or prices, for any particular grade. It is true that receipts of choice Wheat Hay are somewhat light and it may be that this par- ticular grade will be in good demand and sell- mg for a somewhat better figure within a short time. We still note a fair demand for £004 quality red or black cultivated Oat Hay; other than these two particular varieties there is no especial grade that is sought for or that sells for even a fair price. ‘‘Reports from many localities are to the effect that there is vet a large amount of Hay to be marketed that cannot find storage room. This makes us look for a rather gloomy mar. | ket until the Hay fs all marketed or under | cover, After that time it is all a matter of | speculation. Should the foreign demand or a | demand from the southern portion of the State increase we may possibly see a range of prices £2 or 33 per ton in advance of the present range. This cannot be determined at the present time, and on the whole the prospect is not at all en- couraging to holders. Tt is generally conceded | that after the rains set in prices will advance | sacks are as fol- Graham Rye enough to cover the expense of storing, In-| surance, ete.” BRAN-$L @17 per ton.

Dried Fruits, Nuts, Raisins. The Government is & good buyer of fruit in this market for Manila, and there is also a demand for Alaska and trans-Pacific ports, so there is a good business going on right along. Peaches are weaker, Apples are easy, Pears are steady and Apricots continue to point upward. Prunes are quiet. Buyers, especially those who sold short, do mot like the 3ic price set by the Santa Clara growers and are holding off. The local trade, however, do not look for any protracted deadlock in this fruit, for the regular fall demand usually sets in about this time. An advance in Almonds is noted. They are very stiff.
