' ' ZHICAGO, Sept. 21.—Partly on account of misunderstanding in regard to_ the Northwest Teceipts and partly on the advance at Liver- pool, wheat opened strong and at a substantial advance, December %c higher at TX@T%c and September %c, higher at 72c. Duluth re- ceipts were placed at but 145 cars, and the to- tal at both Northwest points at 556 cars, which induced considerable covering by shorts, the falling off being totally unexpected. Minne- apolls figures were in error, however, and the total was corrected to §84 cars, against 78 last week and 931 a year ago. This amount was heavy enough to induce some selling by the early buyers and prices sagged for a time, De- cember declining to 71 cents. About an hour after the opening the market, which in the meantime had been gradually rising on heavy buying by Barrett & Farnum, who were said to be heavily short, was startled by the an- nouncement of their fallure, and in an instant the pit was In an uproar. It was reported the suspended firm was short at least 5,000,000 bushels, although heavy buying for their ac- count was done ecarly in the session, and this fact caused the December price to jump from about Ti%ec, to which point it had_ previously advanced, fo 78 cents, and then to 73%c, in an exceedingly short time. For some time the market ran wild. The price changed with great rapidity under an enormous amount of trad- ing, December dropping to 72%c, back to 72%c, then to 72, and up again to 72%c. It was estimated that about 3,000,000 bushels were bought for the account of the distressed firm in about ten minutes. The skyward opening | brought all classes of shorts into the market. The flurry over the fallure gradually subsided and December settied back to 71%c. During the latter part of the session wheat was almost at a standstill and prices kept within an extreme- ly narrow range. During the bulge in Decem- ber September had advanced to 78%c on a very small amount of business. Offers to sell about 25,000 bushels September later brought no bids and the prices was forced down to 70%c, but it | later recovered to apd closed at 72c. Decem- ber béld iz 2t about 7o and iolosed. st that rn was slightly affected by the excitement incidental to the failure, and fair advances re- sulting during the morning.

France was less conservative and oper- ated freely in merinos, but the home trade se- cured the bulk of this grade. Prices hardened all around, scoured locks and pleces especially | bringing full figures. Crossbreds commanded great attention, and the finest qualities were held at rates higher than the cpening. Ger- many competed with the home trade for sult- able parceld. Coarse wool sold quickly and advanced 10 to 16 per cent above the July average. Yorkshire was & strong buyer, France secured moderate lines and " America about 100 bags. Slipes sold well at 7% per cent advance and short coarse wools at barely 5. Cape of Good Hope and Natal was in small supply and when offered brought out strong competition. Most of the offerings con- sisted of scoured, and the price rose 10 to 15 per cent. . | Eastern Livestock Market. CHICAGO.

WHEAT—The market was decidedly better yesterday and quotations moved up a fraction, with a fair demand for shipment. Futures did not follow suit, owing to the {rregularity at Chicago. Chicago opened firmer under better foreign advices. The market was active, but the de- mand was chiefly to fill shorts and holders s0ld freely. A reaction was expected, but the market held up better than anticipated. Re- ceipts at all four of the winter wheat markets 115,000 bushels. Speculation in- creased, but the failure of Barrett & Farnum caused much excitement and the market fell back again. . Spot_Wheat—Shipping, $1 02%@1 05; milling, $1073%@1 10.. CALL BOARD SALES.
