Chicago, Aug. 31.— somewhat war like tenor of the cable advices pave wheat considerable strength at the opening, which was fairly maintained throughout the ses sion, while fears of fro.st imparted unusual strength and activity to corn. The cables were somewhat firmer in tone, but the tree arrivals of wheat prevented any sharp ad vance in price and the offerings were mod erately free throughout the session, the market dosing %<& He higher than yester day. Com opened at 42Kc for October and advanced steadily to 44 lie fell off a trifle and closed for the clay at 44c. The baying was very general throughout the session, with ••Shorts' covering freely.

War rumors first put up values, followed by reports of frosts in Miv- Bota and Dakota. Then came a better de mand at most markets, with a considerable export inquiry. The war rumors did not pan out and ceased as soon a? they had accom plished their purpose. The frost was the biggest factor in producing the firmer feeling and produced good buying-. This market was weaker than most others, the advance lagging. This was due to the heavy move ment-in the Northwest At one time the difference between October wheat here and Chicago was only ?i|to %c, and at the close it was only 'A to lc, while the difference in November was but % to %c. At a consider able part of the trading was changing near options to more distant ones. Cash wheat, 5 cars No. 1 hard, sold at 77J^e, and 8 cars Mb. 3 wheat at 68c. No. 1 hard closed about 77%e.

Trade continues in fair volume and wltl steady prices. The orders in most cases are fa aborted lots, and second orders from partiei that purchased early in the season are fie fluently received, confirming advices that the Stocks of {roods in dealer's hands are light. There is no material change in the tone of tin market as regards prices, which In soua( eases have not toe strength that would hav< been expected with the volume of .business doing-. There seems to be something of i disposition on the part of manufacturers am dealers to sell goods at a narrow margin ol profit, and if both these classes of sellers, ii is thought, would follow a different policy the market would, without doubt, speedily show an improved condition. As it its, the indica tions point to a large fall trade. The dry poods trade still continues active, and is increasing as the season advances, and all the favorable expectations mentioned several weeks age have been more than realized. Large num bers of buyers have made their appcarauce in our market, and their purchases arc large and of a general character. The order de mand has nlso been running large and is co siderably Increasing', especially in regard to winter goods of all descriptions, such a Canton flannels, underwear, hosiery and fu niohing goods. Woolen goods are more than usually active, and prominent makes of shir ings and twilled fiauueU which a few week ago were advanced are gtrouger and firm a present quotations. Groceries are very ac tive indeed with prices firm and in some cases advancing, while co:lcctions are very steady. Three pound cans of tomatoes are a little lower. Sugars are firm and advancing. Cut loaf powdered, standard A, white extra C and yel low extra C have advanced from %c to J^e, and are very firm. Syrups have also ad vanced from lc to 3c Young America cheese has advance! %c. Singapore pepper has ad vanced. The drug business still continues active and prices are firm with a strength ening- teudency. Vanilla beaus, turpentine, and "alcohol continue firm at the advance noted last week.. Ginseng: is dull and lower. Timothy seed is higher. All turougn the sea son, thus far, business has shown a very de cided grain. Oil lemon is lower. White tur pentine has made an advance of lc. Aside from the above there are no changes of con sequence to note. The sustained trade at this time, as has heretofore been remarked, may be taken as proof of trie generally good condition of business in this section. This being lair week the large influx of stran gers into the city will, as a, natural result, serve to swell the volume of trade. Hard ware is active, with good collections. The changes that have occurred will be found be low. Groceries.
