Chicago Grain Market. — CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—The advance In quota- at the opening, with the prices ranging about | half a cent higher all around. The strength at Liverpool due to the critical condition of af- | fairs in the Transvaal brought a number of yesterday's sellers into the market, and buy- ing from this source while it lasted kept prices clysing point. The trading, however, was con- fined almost entirely to local operators, and when shorts had satisfled their wants the mar- ket was allowed to drift. For the remainder | af the short Saturday session the tandency was | steadily downward. Receipts at primary points wwere heavy, end this, coupled with a poor cash | demand, few of Friday's cffers being accepted, encouraged the bear element. Selling pressure was light at all times, but the buying demand was so slack that little liquidation sutficed to | depmgse prices. In September more strength | was shown. There was almost nothing done, | but elevator selling was totally absent and the | price at all times held at a good advance. Weakness in the deferred futures became more proncunced toward the close, when for the first time Hquidation assumed respectable pro- portions. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 500,000 bushels. Snow's weekly crop report estimated the total ‘wheat crop at apout £30,000,000 bushels, and predicted the Government's report on the acre- age would probably be revised. This had some effoct. December opened e to higher at @7i%c, and gos-ually declined e ing at 70%c. September sold between T1%@ 4c and 70%e, and closed Sc higher at Tilic. Corn fn the main followed wheat, though de- ferred futures did not develop so much weak- ness. There wae an active demand for Sert'm- ber from shorts, who found some difficul in covering.
