Chicago.Sppolnl to the Glob«.

Chicago, Aug. I.—As a whole it hasbeen rather a featureless week in the Chi-cago markets, with such topics as may becalled of general interest only entering themarket yesterday. Reference is had to thecock and bull story of hot wheat iv Chicagoelevators, a wholly unreliable report pub-lished in a yesterday morning's paper, with-out other warrants lor its truthfulness thanthe word of a single interested party, andgiven additionally wide circulation by tele-graphic correspondents. On 'change herethe effect was temporarily depressing, butafter the first depression, during whichthere was much marveling at the audacityand brazen-facedness of the scheme tobreak down the market, values recoveredsomewhat their former tone of steadiness.The whole proceeding is now looked on asa hatched-up scheme, audit was unofficiallystated that the willing tool in the disgrace-ful proceeding will hnd himself debarredfrom the privileges of the Chicago board.Subsequent conlidence was, in a largemeasure, restored by liberal purchasers byrepresentative houses. Speculative values,in the main, may be said to have hingedduring the last six days on crop reports.These have come in. in extraordinaryvolume, from about every county be-tween Maine and Mexico, and havebeen alternately good, bad and in-different. Nor can it be said thatthey have all been

TKUTIIFULBEHBABSAUof actual facts. A few of them doubtlesswere. Some certainly were not, as was il-lustrated in the case of a well-known poli-tician on the board, who received some verydepressing Intelligence from Milwaukeerelative to Northwestern crops, mentioningto other parties the source of his authority.A few days later the alleged"source" was on'change here and deniedin to to any knowledge of the dispatches.These facts simply go to show the dearth oflegitimate causes for a varying market andillustrate to what straits both bull and bearare put in order to make a living throughspeculative fluctuations. After the week'sfluctuations, yesterday found cash wheat J£clower, August and September each %c offfrom prices current a week ago.While trade has been on a liberalscale, no large lines have been permanentlycovered in or put out. It has been a mar-ket on which most houses have been morethan content to take as low as M per cent.profit, turning the deal over again on anyshow of a profit. ItIs probable, however,hat in the aggregate there has been more

stuff sold than bought, and that the presentcrop talk on the bad side is to bear the mar-ket sufficiently to show a profit.

COHNEi: CULMINATESThe corner in July oats culminated yes-

terday, after a decline of 2c per day fot thepast two days. The close was 8c underthe highest point at which they sold duringthe week —the difference between 2Gc and34c. Toward the latter part of the weakthey began coming in so liberally that theprice could not be sustained. At bestit was a small-sized corner, withonly a few shorts .to take expensiveproperty. The provision deal, which hasshown inactivity for weeks past, continuesin a, lethargic state and promises nothingfor the .immediate future. Cash stuff isvery sparingly handled. August andSeptember pork show a decline of Be sincelast Friday. Judging by bank clearings,general business may be called better.There is a satisfactory increase all around,though rates for money are easy and by nomeans firmly held at the quotations below.In the leading markets to-day there wereelements of a little more strength thanweakness, with values correspondingly im-proved. This was owing jointly to anentire restoration of confidence in the con-dition of wheat stored in Chicago houses,and to light receipts, those at this pointbeing only moderate, while outside pointsshowed a like falling off—St Louis, for in-stance, receiving 52.000 bushels, against122,000 bushels this day a year ago. Thesession was

SHORT AXD ACTIVE,

with values beeping within a very mrxlerat**range. Wheat opened stronger this moru-intr. with operators baying considerableSeptember wheat to get even on the Au-gust deal. The hot wheat canard of yes-terday caused a great deal of selling of Au-gust, aud a great many operators foundthemselves short on the deal. At themonthly settlement this morning it waslound that the great bulk of thewheat had gone to Armour andEggleston. About -J. 000.000 bushels wasdelivered. The firmness in pork also helpedthe market, which was farther aided by thetakinjr of about fourteen boat loads of wheatat New York forexport. There was ratherless crop news on the floorto affect the mar-ket than on yesterday, and such moderatespeculative Inquiry that the most activeoptions only fluctuated )ic Thecourse, however, was quite steadily upward.The close was quiet and steady.>'o. 2 sprius? sold at 87J^c cash. Themarket bulls hard and reacts with consider-able easiness. There is. in fact, little ornothing in sight for the bulls to work on.Shorts cut little or no figure, traders aimingto keep about even on the market, whilespeculative inquiry is light. The futurespot \<<i '-\u0084c above yesterday'sprices, cin^in^

change the market opened }{<&% wv centhigher for some stocks and 3i@l per cent,lower forothers. The latter was forJerseyCentral, which to-day defaulted on itsAugust interest. The market sold up afraction and then declined Vsj-.; percent*,and became very dull and heavy. Itlooks as though the July boom in stockshad departed with the month of July, al-though it is not improbable that St. Paul.Lake Soon, and a few practically corneredstocks may be spasmodically lifted a fewpoints, to enable large holders to unload.Last year there was just such a booming,and after that the market resumed itsnatural and wonted level. This annualsummer upheaval seems to be Mr. Vander-bilt's harvest time, and this year lie liasmade a larger haul than usual. During theafternoon St. Paul lost a point and North-western 5* per cent. Lake shore was quitestrong and rose to 71^, falling back again,however, with the general decline. NewYork Central was apparently left alone,Jersey Central whipped around in a livelyway, and so did Missouri Pacific,Both were weak and strong alternately,with weakness the prevailing condition.Western Union lost a point and Pacilic.Mail sold down 1 M per cent from last night'sclosing. Gould was said to be buying Ore-gon Transcontinental to head off Vander-bilt. It willnot be strange if these twochampions lock horns for a desperate strug-gle before the present deal ends. If.Mr.Vanderbilt thinks he can have his ownway in the New York stock market, or thathe can go through the country like an auto-cratic czar, changing the railroad map atwill, ho willfind that he has reckoned en-tirely without his host The more success-ful he is, apparently, tho more enemies andrivals he will have. As the day closed the Itone was rather linn, there was less pres-sure to sell and many stocks recovereda great part of the early depression.There was little in the way of rumors cal-culated to affect prices either way, andbrokers began to desert the exchange forthe different resorts one hour before thegong struck. The market is now in a con-dition when sales on any bulge willproba-bly be the correct caper, and on the declinespurchasers for the long account will beprolitable. Pullman is ex-dividend Ipercent.
