R ne P St e U A Y Chicago Grain and Produce. T N e B g o e CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Corn was a leader, both in point of price advances and trade. With killing frost at Havre, Manitoba, and predic- tions that the unripe corn would suffer before to-morrow, corn waus wanted in large quan- titles to cover contracts. All otherconditions save weather were ignored. Offerings were ex- ceedingly small and at once prices stif 5 The Southwest was a big buyer and oo?nel‘:leig. sion houses as a rule had buying orders. The Government crop report was moderately bull- ish, stating that corn in Iowa and Rastern Nebraska needed a month to mature. Cables were a little higher, but receipts showed a lit- tle improvement. September sold from 5734e to G9c and closed strong 1l%c up at 584c. De- cember sold from 42%c to 43%c and closed etrong lc up mlgzim Wheat ha strength all day, but the frost scare did not have as much effect as it - ’ s did in corn. Buying of December by commis- sion houses and traders generally was of the best character. Offerings were scarce and in the main the pit crowd were for profits. The trade was nervous over the possibilities of in- jury to the late wheat in the Northwest. While the weather conditions overshagowed all other factors, the fact that not a car of con- tract stuff was recelved here to-day had a strengthening effect. September wheat started 34e to %e up at 70%c to 70%c and advanced to 71%c. ~ December sold from 67%c to 68%c. The close was strong, both September and De- cember being 1@1%c higher, the former at T1%@T71%c and the latter-at 681, @68%ec. Oats stiffened in sympathy with corn and wheat.

This is the smallest since 1861, when the acreage was 47,941 acres. The maximum acreage was in 1878 and amounted to 71,789 acres. This was almcst equaled in 1885, ‘when the acreage was 71,327 acres. Since 1885 there has been a steady falling off in the acreage until it has fallen to the figures just received, which some of the best inform=d people in the trade estimate as indi- cating a crop for 1902 of about 340,000 cwt.”” A discatch dated Kugene, Or., August 27. says: *“The Hop market for this season has opened in Lane County and the price is the highest that has been paid for Hops here for many years.
