THE GALVESTON
COMMERCIAL.
Naws Office, Ang. 15.—This betnK Saturday
and generally observed as a half holiday there
was not much bosines transacted. There wore
some changes made in vegetables aud. fruits, but
beyond this yesterday's quotations wfM repeated.
The spot cotton markets wero dull ami quiet.
Liverpool reduced quotations 1-Mc, but yester-
day's prices were repeated in ell the American
markets cxcept Augusta, which reduced quota-
tions He. This market closod quiet aud un-
changed, with sales of 106 bales.
Liverpool futures oi>enod ea*y and about 1
point higher, lost the improvement and closod
quiet but steady at yesterday's prices.
New York opened steady and 1 to 2 points
lowe*, gained 5 to 8 points nil round and
closed firm and 3 to 4 points over last night's fig-
ures.
New Orleans opened steady and 1 to 3 points
lower, advanced 3 to 5 points and ruled quiet but
steady, advanced slightly again and closed 3 to &
points higher.
WHEAT CROP EST1MATK8.
According to the Cincinnati Price Current there
Is abnndanco of evidence in supi>ort of the view
that the yield of winter wheat lu the west has
quite materially exceeded the h»gical deductions
based ou department of agriculture duta sub-
mitted a month ago. Threshing oi»eratiuns have
so far advanced as to justify approximations of
average yield, and the result bears testimony to
the exceptionally favorable coudition generally
attending t tie maturing and ripening period of
the grain this season.
Computations based on special returns to the
Cincinnati Price Curreut from all districts of the
west in regard to yield of wheat and worthy date
for other portions of the country, point to u total
of 400,000,000 bushels as the indication for winter
wheat production. A careful survey of the pres-
ent outlook for the spring wheat crop, partly
based on special correspondence, suggents ap-
proximately 185,000,000 bushels. These ehtimatos
show a total of 585,000,000 bushels as a fuir repre-
sentation of the promise at this time. Details,
with comparisons for previous years, are shown
iu the following:

approximations for 1891 represent an
•nrragi yield of about 17 bushels of winter wheat
for the eight western states specified, about 11'4
bushels for middle and southern states, and
slightly over 15 bushols for California and O50-
Eu; for the entire production of winter wheat
40 bunhels. aud for spring wheat 14.25 bushels
—the general average for tlio entire crop boing 15
bushels.
A large part of the spring wheat crop is not yet
assured against injury from possiblo untoward
conditions in the near future. The above approxi-
mations imply maintenauce of favorable condi-
tions until the grain is matured aud seen red.
The domestic requirements for the yeur will be
360,000,000 bushels of wheat. If the foregoing es-
timates of production bo realized there will be an
excess of 225,000,000 bushels, admitting of exporta-
tion of 200,000,000 and the adding of 25,000,000 to
the reserves, which were exceptionally low at the
opening of the present crop year.

I. E. GLENN Y ft OO.'S CIRCULAR*
New Orleans, La., Aug. 15. fSpecial| -i. k.
Glenny A Co. Hay : Notwithstanding u d«liuo of
l-16d ou spots aud l-64d on futures in Liverpool,
both our market and New York opened steady
and closed at 3 to 4 points higher than yosterduy.
The weekly crop rejiort of the Chronicle was
rather favorable aud roceipts promise to be full,
with more new cotton arriving than cxpccted.
Tho advance both here and New York is attributed
to tho limited amount of business doing, which
enablod operators to obtaiu full prices when any
buying orders came into the market. Our ex-
change has perfected arrangements for rapid
cabling to Liverpool to facilitute business with
that market, aud on aud after Monday cables
sent before 10 a. m. will have immediate dispatch
and quick reply. Our friends may find that mar-
ket occasionally more advantageous to use, in
which case we beg to say wo have all necessary
facilities already perfected.
5 | AT WOOD, VIOLET ft OO.'B CIRCULAR.
New orlhans7 La., Aug. 15.-[Special 1-At-
wood, Violet A Co. say; Futures— Some shorts
covered again to-day hero and in New York and
caused an advance of 4 points in each murket.
Our telegram from there says: "Local shorts
buying caused an improvement, also that new
receipts next week aro estimated at 7000 bules."
Showers aro generally roported in tho interior.
After the rise of last week sellers are timid and
anything unfavorable causes uneasiness. Liver-
pool declined l-16d on spot* and partially 1 point
ou futures, notwithstanding the advanco iu tho
American futuro market yesterday. Cables from
there are not encouraging.
Spots—Quiet; sales, 100 bales: quotations un-
changed.
NEW YORK DRY GOODS.
New York, Aug. 15.—[Special]—Business in dry
goods was moderate and restricted as usual on
Saturday. Agent* were in roceipt of a good
mauy small orders for a wide variety of goods,
but spot transactions wore few and light.
PRODUCE MARKETS.
CHICAGO.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 15.—Local dealers in cereals
completely lost all control over the whoat, corn
aud rye markots this morning, and many times
during the day clarly lost control over them-
selves. No such excited serambles have been seen
in the Chicago wheat pit since Hutchinson ran his
corner on that cereal in the fall of 1888. Outside
dealers were as much at sea as the Chicago spec-
ulators. Hundroda of messages wero received
from commission men inquiring "What do you
think of tho market7" But the blind could not
lead the blind, so each one was
allowed to gropo for himself. The story is
only baroly indicated by closing quotations, which
show 6*c advanoe in wheat, 8c in rye and 2*c in
com. The statoment which characterized trad-
ing yesterday was quadruplexcd at the opening
to-day. December, which was being traded in at
99Xcg$l 15 only yesterday afternoon, was wanted
by hundreds of hollowing bulla and roaring bears
at from $1 O1K01 08J4 the moment the bell tapped
for the opening of trado at 9.30 this morning.
Businoss for about ono minute was done on an
onormous scalo at from $1 02&1 02 Y, aud then for
a matter of flvo minutes the crowd were unani-
mous to sell, and the price tumbled down to
$1 0196. Its stay at tho latter point was short,
the same unanimity was here for a soiling slide
changed and it rose to 9102, at which point sellers
withdrew until apparently uoisy buyers had ad-
vancod the prise to $105. Somn sales wore made ut
this timo as high as$l 0514 before it onco more be-
gan to recede. Tho reaction following the latter
bulge stoppod when it had got down toll 03^.The
market acted exceedingly firm with an upward
tendoncy, reaching $1 01'« and then back again to
$1 04 a fow times, and tlion, as on the preceding
bulgo, tho ontiro pit full of perspiring, haggard
and oxcitod brokers yelled their bids, and as
nothing but higher and still higher prices oould
induce any one to sell, bids of $105. 910ft, $107 and
$1 08 wero thundered simultaneously from husky
throats, with verylittlo secured as prices shot up.
Thore was a fooling that after such a panicky ad-
vance the worst wos over for the shorts for the
seventh day at least. Comparative quiet suc-
ceodod aud prices once more began to sag, but
short sellers had received such cruel experience
in tho earlier stage * that the only parties who
offered stuff toward the close wero those who had
it previously bought. Many of the most exoited
traders could not have given a coherent account
of tho cause of all the turmoil, but the sifted
whirling of dnst obscured everything except
tho fact that the market was in a tremendous
state of nervous panic. Tlio situation seemed
to bo this: Domestic and foreign markots were
all feverishly high ; short rye crop in Russia ; ex-
citement in the German rye murket over Russian
exports; reports that tho cereal crop of Austria
and Hungary was heavily deficient; shortage of
the wheat crop in Frsnce and India, all pointed
to shortage in tho world's broadstuus. London

Sr. Louts. M^a Ang. IS.—Wheat—The opening
was, as usual of late, excited aud the cause was
attributed to strong and higher European cables.
These, following all bullish news received of late,
had a most exciling effect upon tho market and
prices went soaring skyward. The pace was a
little too fnst, however, and a decline of lc was
scored, but very soon this was followed by an-
other up turn and Scents wero added to tho price
and this Was followed by several other wild
bursts of speed. It was fearfully excited, market
jumps of 4c to lc being frequently soen. Later
a break of life was made ana shortly afterwards

syndicate, was running abuU campaign in wheat.
The memory of his last corner here in 1877-8.
when prices wore held up in the neighborhood of
$1 40 for a long time, came to the perspi ring shorts
as a frightful nightmare and rather than take
any chances their ran to the nearest cover regard
less of cost. During this process December
decliued to 91 054o, gradually recovered and
closed at $1 064c.
This would have been an exciting day for spec-
ulators in grain even if whont had remained
stationary. Corn was only of secondary interest
to-day, because, aa a rulo, crowd trading iu
it it* smaller than that in whoat. Fluctua-
tions wero frequent und of nutflcietit
severity to be called sensational, aud as in wheat
the tread of prices was strongly upward. Sep-
tember, which at oue period of the session sold us
low ss 59^c, ouly reached its piuuaclo when it
reached 654c, and it stood at 624 at the close of
the session, or Ifco above the poiut it stoi»ped at,
yesterday.
Receipts of hops wore lighter than had been
looked for and prices higher, which was the only
other independent source of strength. Opening
prices showed considerable advances. After Lair
of that early gain hud boon dropped thore was
another and hoavior advance toward the middle
of the session, hot in tho end prices worked back
to about tho opening point aud closed about so.

Pacific property was $1,279,490, equivalent

double this amount. Unless tlio company is able
