CHICAGO, July 31.—Tho reports from the Northwestern wheat fields continued uniformly had again to-dav, and it was estimated that the prospective yield would be reduced anywhere from 20 to 40 per cent., as compared to the estimates made on July 1. Some of the telegrams asserted that many fields were in a critical condition, and that a continuance of the present hot weather would completely ruin wheat prospects in certain localities. The market started np on this news, but fell hack on rumors of hot or musty wheat in the Chicago elevators. The story that wheat was out of condition in some of the Chicago elevators was given currency in a morning paper here, and the report was used by the bears in their efforts to depress prices, and the rumor certainly had its effect upon the course of the market. The August future began selling at a discount of from 2}®2§c, as compared to September, but at this difference there was free buying of August, which in a measure restored confidence. On tho afternoon board, however, the difference again widened to 2;c. The receipts were light, and shipments limited. Nothing definite was developed during the day as to the truth of the statements concerning the wheat, beyond a denial by the elevator people that any of the wheat had been injured. The market closed for the day }c lower for August, and }c lower for September and October than yesterday. Lake engagements for 48,000 bushels of wheat were reported. There was a fair amount of speculation in corn at a somewhat lower range of prices, but the closing for tlie day was about the same as yesterday. Freight engagements for 569.000 bushels were reported. Receipts were a little larger, but cash was taken up quite readily at current figures. The looked for corner in July oats failed to materialize, and the market collapsed. There was a 2 cent decline from the inside quotation of yesterday for July, and the market closed with free sellers but no demand. The receipts were large, and are reported large again for to-morrow. Provisions ruled a shade stronger early, hut fell back and closed tame.

Indianapolis, July 31. Since July 1 the general situation of trade and industry has certainly shown some improvement. This remark will apply to all parts of the country, yet the activity is so diffused that it attracts much less attention than is drawn to the cases of dullness or actual suspension of work. Then there is another favorable condition. There is a greater unanimity in expecting a fairly good season of business during the autumn months. The movement of breadstuffs is peculiar. Although the wheat crop will be very much smaller than that of last year, the accumulation of wheat at the interior markets is excessive and the eastward shipments comparatively small. Chicago is practically full, and lake vessels cannot secure fi-eights even at one cent per bushel to Buffalo. With new wheat soon to arrive in largo quantities, the eastward shipment must be largely increased; but this may be preceded by still further congestion in warehouses and floating storage. We wish there were signs that the cost of all this storage would cause a sharp advance in money, which, however, might eome with very little warning. In any case the movement east ward, both for domestic consumption and for export, must become important before long, and, as usual, play an important part in the autumn business of the country. The flour market continues sluggish. The Boston Journal of the 29th says: “The flour market is dead, and it evidently has been afflicted with sunstroke the past week, or partial paralysis, as the business has been of a trifling character. At the same time there is no change in the confidence of holders and no pressure to sell at concessions. If flour is selling at very low prices now, lower than the cost of production, it does not follow that it will continue so for any length of time. With the thermometer in the nineties it is perhaps expecting too much to look for any activity. The great complaint now is that we have too much choice flour. The mills of the country, when in full operation, can almost supply the world. Even now, when a large portion of them have suspended or are on short time, there is too much flour coming forward. There is no great stock here, but the reports that come to us from New York show that that market is overstocked, and while such a condition exists it is useless to look for any favorable change in prices. We are rather disappointed in the receipts. From the large stoppage of machinery we supposed there would be a considerable falling off, but Fitch is not the case. When tiie leading English markets are overloaded with flour amt wheat, when our leading markets are overloaded, you cannot convince buyers that an improvement is near at hand. Overproduction has been the great drawback in almost every branch of business, and Western millers must hold back supplies if they want to see a favorable change in the market. This state of things is even more pronounced in Great Britain than on this side. There were no changes in values to day calling for special mention. GRAIN. yhe local market is in better shape. Dealers take hold more freely, and bidding on ’Change was spirited. The Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat: Local markets are steady, with quotations a shade firmer than yesterday. Cash offerings are not very liberal, but receipts are largo. Futures show some cautious buyers, but there is not much interest in forward deliveries.
