The outcome of the day was as much in doubt at 12 o'clock as it was thirty minutes after the opening. The action of the market was an opening at much lower figures, an advance of about lc on the open ing buying orders, a decline of %c on realiz ing, then an advance of ltec to l%c, which gave the top figures of the day, from which there was a general falling off in prices, which left futures on the whole under the closing prices yesterday. There was little change in the tone of public or private cables. The most sensational talked of mil dew, smut, rust and floods on the other side. While foreign markets were firm and prices somewhat higher, they did not warrant such advices. In the northwest the weather was clear and warm, with conflicting dispatches and letters regarding the damage already done. September .-old at 92% can to OS' back to 9- 1 up to 94c and back to 92% c near the close. The close was marked by weakness, and prices went *&@%c under the close of yesterday. There was little new in corn. Prices opened lower, but the receipts fell short of the estimate and the usual buy ing in wheat early helped corn. Sep tember sold at 4ii/2©4stec and closed at 45 %c. October acted with September. Oats were rather firmer, but without changes of importance. Pork lost some of the ground gained recently through the lack of any particular bull fac tors, and as holders were willing to dispose of their property at the market prices, de clined for lack of support. October pork opened Die lower than last night, but ad vanced a little under buying by Hutchinson. Subsequently the price sagged off until it sold at $14.15, closing at $14.25. This was a loss on near futures of 17te®'-2tec, though January closed 2' 2C higher than yesterday. Ribs advanced s®loc, offerings being well taken.

The" stock market was more active to-day, but was feverish, and late in the day weak, which wined out most of the gains recorded in the early dealings, and left a»ma.jority of the active "list fractionally lower than last evening's prices. The decision of Judge Fairall against the lowa railroad commis sion was regardedas a great bull' card, and though there was some yielding at first, the demand for " stocks was such that prices, with many reactions, climbed until the last hour. Loudon arbi trage operators were against the list and .helped to give it the feverish and unsetlkd appearance which it possessed during most of the time, Realizing sales also played an important part, and in the last hour became so numerous that almost everything was forced off to below the level of the opening prices. The coal stocks were again the great feature, though the decision brought the grangers more prominently to- the front. They were followed by the Gould stocks, and New England again became active, and Union Pacific was prominent, especially late in the day. Lake Erie & West ern preferred was conspicuous " for strength, but the only marked move ment among the specialties was an advance of 3 per cent in Mahoning coal on its recent heavy earnings. The opening was active and generally firm, with advances extending to te per cent, but the early trading devel oped considerable feverishness, and after a reaction the losses were made up, Lacka wanna being most prominent tor its move ments. There was again more animation toward noon, and Lake Shore came to the front, while prices began to rise above the level of the opening. There was another re action in the afternoon, but Union Pacific, and afterward' Lackawanna and Consoli dated Gas, moved up rapidly, which intused some life into the general list, . and the prices of the day generally were reached before 2 p. m., the heavy realizing of the last hour, however, was especially "uoticea"" ble in Lackawanna, which was followed by Jersey Central, Bock Island, Canada South ern and most of the others, and the gains were quickly neutralized.- The close was active aud generally weak at the figures. The final changes were irregular, but generally in the direction of lower prices, but the only important changes were a gain of 1 per cent in Lase Erie & Western preferred and a loss of 1% in Canada Southern. The railroad bond market was quiet but with a better distributed business than usual of late, and while the Beading's third incomes contrib uted $160,000 to the day's total of 1,221. --OJO shares, the rest of the business was more evenly divided. The tone of the dealings was firm - throughout, but the changes in quotations were generally for slight frac tions. There was a gain of 2 per cent in Chesapeake & Ohio sixes to 81.121,2.

Flour— Market Record t Markets were strong and higher. The strength and activity in tne cereal did much toward a better flour market Fresh and heavy rains in England as well as in other parts of the united king dom, have greatly changed the feeling there concerning the position of flour. SUB it was found that few were bidding more than 32s on the London basis of freight. Holders, generally refused to sell excepting at ma terially higher figures. Some sold . at Glas gow at 3ls 9d for patents. There were sales of bakers' at 24s 9d London. Offers 3d below that were refused. Atlantic coast buyers were considerably stirred up by the late rise in wheat They had many inquiries here, and there were some very decent sized sales, ranging along from $5.50 to $5.60 for good patents. In New England much was held above that Patents, sacks to local dealers, $5; patents to ship, sacks, car lots, $4:75 ®4. 85 ; in barrels, $4.9005 ; delivered at New England points, $5.85; New York points. $5.65@5.85; delivered at Philadelphia ana Baltimore, $5.70®5. 80; bakers' here. $3.80 ®4; superfine, $2®3: Red Dog, sack, $1.60® 1.65; Red Dog, barrels, $1.80@1.85; rye flour, pure, cwt., $1.70 r Bran' and Shorts— Bran for spot delivery went at about $10 in bulk. So much of the amount now turned out is contracted for, the spot offerings are scarce. Shorts sold from $I@2 a ton higher than bran. Corn— Corn was in some request In car lots, and then by sample only. The most common range was at .40©430 for good no grade to fair No. 3. . " Oats— The new oats arriving are mostly In poor condition, and are selling at about 24® 23c, while really nice old white were la some request at 33c. Barley— Nominal at 30@500. Feed— Mixed feed selling slowly at $16018. Nominal at $1.16. Chicago, $1.22. — Holders of good stock were trying to get $8 for choice wild, but about $7 was all that could be realized. There has been strong competition among some dealers here, and sales have been made below the cost to them, demoralizing prices. MINNEAPpLIS STATE GRAIN INSPECTION.
