COUERCIAL AND FINANCIAL i * Wi it FitaM Featnwof tkeDftj IT * OUMft Wkett Market lemma AND DECEMER CLOSE LOWER 41 Lar Gal si Twelve aasl Oae-Half Ceats Back aa Sevaat Ceats Market ; l CHICAGO , Aug.Demoralisation of kaah prlecs for spring wheat today was the aource of weakness in futures. September closed U4c lower and December declined -Tic. Corn % 97-Bc. Oats is HO3-8o down. Pork ' and lard gained 12 c each and ribs 67c. Liverpool sent higher quotations for * Wheat , but It was supposed to be a mere 1 reflection ot yesterday's advance here and < consequently did not influence the trading ' ml the start. The shorts were evidently snore confident that there would be more ( Wheat before the hint day of September than the bulls would want for legitimate purposes. The weather In the northwest ( was of the same favorable character for 1 sjecurlng the fine crop of spring wheat that fc has generally favored the operation since cutting commenced. Chicago received 121 i car * , whereas 85 were estimated , but a year ago 293 cars were received. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 327 carloads , against 99 the aimllar day of the previous week and 163 cars the correspond day of 1897. A Liv erpool cablegram reported offerings of now crop Russian and Danublan wheat at about the equivalent of from 2 to 4 cents a bushel below the present price of shipping parcels of No. 2 Kansas hard. It was under the Influence of such information that Septem ber wheat opened at from C6c down to Mi-gc and declined to 65&c inside of the \V Vrst'half ' hour of the session. The statistics V of the day's movement were by no means , V all In. favor of the bears. Receipts at prl- 5 wary western markets amounted to only it 'M8.000 bu. compared with 842.000 bu. a year ; ago. The clearances of wheat and Hour - , ) from Atlantic ports were onual to 677,000 bu. i and It was calculated that the vlslblo would J how a decrease ot 1,000,000 bu. Prices at Minneapolis and Duluth were so much J lower agiiln today as to give an air of sin s' ' icerlty to the statements about the proba- < Slllty of heavily increased receipts in the ; near future. Spring wheat was especially V .weak In the market for carloads and that , $ together with a reduction In the premium ' bid'for wheat for shipment , had much to t do with the weakness that developed In the [ . , trading for futures. September opened unchanged - changed to Uc tower at CCCa/ecUc , declined to - ' Hc , recovered to 65B5 7-8c , fell off to r 4c and firmed up to C3c asked at the ' f close. December began l-8X-8c down at ! 63&63Uc , off to 62' c , up to G2 7-8c , down to (2 3-8o and closed at 62 5-8c. iV Perfect weather and large receipts de pressed corn. A good many who had sold ' ' out September and replaced It with December - : ber yesterday were indisposed to stand > much further loss and became sellers as aoon an weakness developed. There was a fair demand from scalpers at the decline , but as the session advanced the general . ' trade fell oft In volume and the market * closed at the lowest point for the day. Sep tember started 1-Sc down at 31 l-S@31 4c. ranged from 31Uc down to 30c and closed V at the latter figure. Oats ruled steady on a small scalping . trade during the first half of the session , but finally turned easy with corn. 8 < > ptem- ber opened l-8c lower at 20c. rose to 20 l-8c , A declined to 19c and left off at 1919 7-8o ( Diked. The execution of some heavy transactions In lard for export strengthened the whole revision market. Early there was some R quldatlon and a dip In prices , but that loss was all recovered nnd something more. September pork opened 2c lower at $8.96. declined to $3.92 , advanced to $9.12 % and closed at $9.10. September lard began 5o down at $5.05 and sold up to $5.22 % . the ' closing figure ; September ribs started. 2Hc . - off at $5.12 % , weakened to $5.10 , firmed up > to $5.22 % and closed at $5.206.22 % .

NEW YORK , Aug. ll.-The recovery fiom yesterday's reaction In the stock market was declare and complete before the end of the day and the closing showed a furiously active buying movement In force which was absorbing all offerings at advancing prices. Some of these offerings were heavy as a result of the big advance and numerous individual blocks ot 1.009 shares and up wards of Bt. Paul were snapped .up with 'P8rpaul'wastyste dy all dar and , ln the last halt hour was taken .In hand and rushed up from about 110 % to 112 1-4. The other Grangers followed suit , though at a less lively rate and with nowhere near so large a volume of business. Burlington re covered Its 1U dividend and 1-4 besides. The earlier part of the day showed a marked falling off In the animation of the market and the conspicuous movements in prices conflned entirely to the Industrial specialties. It became evident at the openIng - Ing that there were supporting orders in leading stocks which offered a barrier to further declines In them. There was In addition a continuance of the outside de mand for stocks ' .through commission houses. Some of the industrials showed a buoyant tone and nerved to sustain prices. Although there was some realising during the flrst hour It was so well absorbed that the bears became discouraged and desisted from , their efforts to break the market. When It was -announced that the stock exchange would be closed from today un til Monda ) ' It became evident that the shorts were uie ones , who felt timid about leaving committments outstanding. The aggressive movement in St. Paul relnaug- urated the bull movement In full force. Some of the sharp gains In Individual stocks were : Lake Erie and Western , B ; Lake Erie preferred , 7V4 : Minnesota Iron , 61-4 ; New TTork Air Brake , 4Vi ! Pacific Coast Improvement , 3H ; Pacific coast Improve ment preferred , 3 ; International Paper com * pany , 6. The rise In St. Paul was 3 1-8. Reports by the Trade Journal tell of some expansion of business as the termination of the war with Spain. The expansion of the country's currency Is strikingly manifest in the conditions of the New York money mar ket , where the pressure for funds from In terior points Is already beginning. There Is apparently nothing to meet this demand but gold , and New York banks are ship ping gold to the Interior for circulating medium. The New. York money market has responded with a hardening tendency and the foreign exchange market with a fall In rates. Meanwhile the Bank of England has been strengthening Its reserves by con tracting Its loan account In anticipation of a call tor gold from New York and a re sulting rise In money rates in London. An early gold movement to New York seems Inevitable and there is eager demand by national banks for the new government bonds. As fast as they can be acquired they will undoubtedly be used for expand ing the bank circulation. The facts make It evident the country Is finding ample use for the abundant Increase In its money sup- The Evening Post's London financial ca ifwas a blank day In the stock markets here , the exchange being half empty in ad vance of the holiday tomorrow. Th tone was good , however. There was a sharp recovery In Canadian Pacific and in Grand Trunk. Americans opened dull , following the New York lead , but realised on New York support. Argentines were good on a further drop of ft points in the gold premium. The fall in DeBeera mines con tinues.

Among the offerings was one bunch of very prime stuff that sold at S5.45 , with other good loads bringing $3.00 ® 6.23. Medium to common cattle sold from $4.95 down to $4.40 mostly. The market was active and the offerings all changed hands very readily , local packers being ee buyers. The supply of cows and heifers was not Jargc , only about ten or a dozen loads being offered for sale. The market , .how ever , was far from satisfactory. On Wednesday the buyers sat down hard on the cow market , as noted at the time , yes terday they took hold and bought them a little more freely , and today they hung back again. Good to fancy helferlsh stuff perhaps would have been steady , but the medium cows were weak to 610c lower. The feeder buyers took some of the cows , which helped out considerably and aided In keeping up the market. A bunch of west ern cows sold to a feeder at 13.20 , which was about Be lower than the same kind of stuff sold for yesterday. , There were nb western grass beef steers here , at least none of any Importance , the arrivals of westerns consisting entirely of feeders and stackers. They were very good , however , and brought way-up prices. Some fancy , white-faced yearlings belonging to Bartlett Richards , and shipped from the sandhills , brought 15.25. The 2-year-olds sold at J4.304.50and the threes and fours at $4.35. They were all very good In qual ity , and the fancy job of dehorning helped out the price. The prices paid for feeders looked high and caused a good many to quote the market as strong. At the same time some were complaining that anything common was slow. Representative sales : slow.STEERS.

The late sales brought down the average of the market yesterday , so that the average today shows up a little better. Mixed loads , rather on the light order , sold prin cipally at $3.65 , and from that to $3.7714 for the befit mixed loads. Good heavy sold at $3.70 , and prime at $3.75. The top , It will bo noted , was Cc higher than yesterday , but there were 'no such hogs hero yester day. The market was active at ruling prices , and everything changed hands very early in the morning , the demand being considerably in excess of the supply. Hogs sold today on an average a very little higher than yesterday's average , but 17'/ic lower than a week ago , and a shade lower than two weeks ago. Today's receipts were barely up to the average for a Friday , showing that the decline In values has Its effect upon shipments. Representative sales : No. Av. Bh. Pr. No. Av. Bh.
