CHICAGO , Aug. 23.-Shorta In whc.it took
renewed alarm today at the continued
mcaBcr rocclpts. After an early decline
September closed C-S5Wic higher nnd De
cember sained Uc. Oata were l-8o lower.
J'ork nnd lard declined 2'ic ' each. Illba
advanced 2Hc.
Lower Liverpool cables , the continued
liberal renelpts In the northwest and the
weak sentiment carried over from yester
day started wheat lower. September ,
which closed last night with buyers at
C3 l-8c , started with sellers nt from C2 7-Sc
at the lower llffure , nor could much bo dis
posed of at the higher Just then , but the
market noon improved and advanced to n
nliailo abovu the prlco at the close on
Wednesday , reaching C3 l-8SG3 o about an
liour after the start.
The chief reason for the recovery from
oponlnff bcarlHhncHH was one of long stand
ing. The shorts for September delivery
RUVO further expression to their nervous
ness concornlnc the very small quantity
In sight that was available on their con
tracts. Chicago received 100 cars , compared -
pare-d with 2S5 the previous year , but only
35 mrloacls wcro of contract irudo. The
northwestern receipts numbered 497 cars ,
ufalust I'M ' the corrcspondlnn day of the
year before. Trading In September was
much smaller than In December , with In
dications that the opening Interest In Sep
tember had been reduced to quite slender
proportions. Shorts In September , however ,
continued to take the offerings on all soft
Hpots and nt times wcro anxious enough to
pay the sellers their asking price. Tim
( 'onoral result was that September ruled
Etrong after the llrst live minutes , and lat
terly at nome Improvement on yesterday's
closing value. December , however , did not
advance correspondingly , although it re
covered C-Su from the Initial decline. A
etrone cash market at Duluth was an ad
ditional bulllch feature near the end nnd
the best prices hero were made near the
close. The aggregate of receipts at west
ern primary market ? wcro 837.WX ) bu. , com-
liarcd with ffiO.TOO bu. a year ago. Atlantic
X > ort clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 540,000 bu. September opened U ®
G-Sc lower at V2VAHJ2 1-Sc , rose to C3 7-Sc and
closed nt G3063 7-Sc. December started U
< ff3-c down nt 61 l-fifM ! 3-8c , up to 61 7-Sc
und left olt at Cl&ftGl 7-Ec.
Corn started weak , but turned around
when wheat showed In the lead In an up
ward dlrccUon. Crop reports wore gen
erally of a bullish tenor , but there were
others that mentioned the crop prospects
In a most favorable way. The Inquiry from
the seaboard was good nnd cash corn was
worth a email premium over September
for shipping lots. September opened Uc
lower at from 29 o to 29 5-Sc. It rose to
29 7-Se , dropped back to 29 G-Sc and from
that It rallied to 30c , the closing price.
Oats were firm and prices held fairly
rvvell. The closing was of an individual
character and centered chiefly in the May
option. September opened unchanged to
3-8c lower at 19Kc , weakened to 19 ! * < 319 5-Sc ,
iidvanced to > 19 7-Sc. then settled back to
J9JJC , the closing price.
Provisions wcro dull and a shade easier.
Jho speculative business was to some ex
tent transferring of September trades to
later deliveries. Commission houses were
the sellers early in the day and shorts
covered. English packers bought moder-
iitely of lard and ribs. September pork
opened 5c lower at $ S.S5 , declined to $ S.S2'4 ,
llrmed up to $8.00 , then reacted to $ S.S7 .
tit the close. The range In lard and ribs
. was small.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
200 cars ; corn , 600 cars ; oats , 470 cars ; hogs ,
20.000 head.

NEW YORK , Aug. 25. The close of the
tock market today gave every Indication
if renewed absorption on n largo scale
) > ' n powerful speculative Interest , which
caused an additional rise In prices. The
ntylng In the last hour followed a. period
oC extreme dullness during which the mar
cel was left to itself. The tone of the trad-
ng In the early part of the day showed
hat there was a considerable outsldo cle
ment disposed to take profits or to stop
osses if they were the unfortunate onr-s
vho bought stock nt the top last week.
Jut It was also evident that the pressure
of this liquidation was not sever ? , and that
ho offerings of stock were not Increased
at the Jew level of prices , On the contrary
hero were sufficient buying orders with
commission houses at n level below the-
market to check the decline. Some of the
ecent elements of weakness were also re
moved. For instance Manhattan showed
ecuporatlve power by rising two points , to
ho distress of the bears. There was also
ufllclent vigor In the upward movement
of Sugar to glvo color to the rumors preva-
ent of the conclusion of a working agree
ment with new competitors. The quarterly
tatemcnt of Lake Shore was a significant
exhibit of the possibilities of refunding ,
ho largo decrease in net earnings for the
quarter being so far offset by the decrease
n th charges that thft surplus Is still
above last year's level. The buying of Now
York Central was Induced by this exhibit
and the buoyant recovery of Burlington
probably had In view the possibilities for
hat property in a refunding of its mort
gage Indebtedness. The ready response of
terllng exchange to any hardening tend-
ncy to the money market gives assurances
of relief from that quarter of any money
stringency. The fast Increasing supply of
ho new government bonds mada available
or use ns security against government tie-
> osltii with national banks Is also a safe
guard against undue depletion by division
of funds in the United States treasury.
The special strength of the Paclflcs was
duo to the transference of speculative
jroflts from other stocks , notably St. Paul ,
and to a conviction of the great benefits
o accrue from the agreement to arbitrate
ho trouble with the Canadian Pacific. It
oanablc funds are to continue plentiful , It
emoves botit the only clement of doubt
n the general situation.
There was a yielding tendency In some
of the standard railroad bonds today which
was possibly a reflection of the former tone
if money. Low priced speculative bonds ,
lowcver , showed sharp advances. Total
ales , $3,725,000. Government bonds were
unchanged. . .
The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram says : The stock markets hero
wcro Irregular but llrm today on balance.
Argentines and Brazils were particularly
stromr. the former on a further fall of the
gold premium and the latter on Paris buy-
iii ? . the rise In exchange nnd the rise In
offee. Americans opened above the parity ,
but weakened later. This market presents
a tired appearance , but any material reac-
lon Is expected to bring in buyer * . Prices
were firmest. Grand Trunk nnd Canadian
aciflcs were good on Montreal buying.
Mexican rails were speculated in for the
rise In sympathy with silver. Spanish 4s
were llrm , but there were no signs hero
oday of any operations on New York ac
count. Twenty-five thousand pounds In
Drench coin was taken from the Bank of
SiiKland today for Cuba , to be sent via
New York. A ccod number of American
bills hav bfen offered for forward de-
ivery. Details of the gold movement for
the week show the sale of 125,000 In
French coin for New York , Cuba being the
mimato destination , and the receipt of
75.000 from Australia.

CATTLE Beef steers were easier this
morning , In most cases lOc lower , and the
trade opened a little slowly , but the de
mand was good and everything changed
hands reasonably early. There was quite
a sprinkling of cornfed cattle In the yards ,
but not so many as yesterday , and the
quality was not as good on an average , so
that there was very little above $5. Grass
westerns brought $4.3304.59 very largely.
Quito a good many cows and heifers wcro
Included In the receipts , half of them at
least rangers. The market did not show
much change on that kind , the general
market being about steady , and , If any
thing , a little moro active than yesterday.
Feeders of good quality and weights were
steady to strong and In quite active de-
man. There were quite a number of out
side buyers In the yards , which braced up
the market to some extent. Yearling stuff
was about steady at yesterday's decline
and speculators still had a good many on
hand. The market on yearlings Is nil of
25c lower than It was a weekyigo , owing
to the accumulation of stock. Siepresenta-

HOGS Yesterday the receipts of hogH fell
so much below the estimate that the mar
ket advanced , but provisions did not respond
spend us readily as packers thought they
should and then there WUH a larger run
today than was expected. The result was
a reaction In the prlco of llvo hogs today ,
the markets at all the leading selling points
opening SfflOc lower. The market here WUH
no exception to the general rule. The early
sales ranged from $3.70'fI3.SO. A few very
good heavy hogs touched $3.80 and good
mixed brought $3.75. with the common mixed
loads going nt $3.70r3.72H. The market did
not lone remain in that condition and buy
ers soon began talking $3.7003.72Ij for good
r
lo.-idK. The ironrrnl trndo vrns slow , buyers
appearing In no hurry to clear the peni
even at the decline , but neemrd rather In
clined to wait for the otmnlni ? of th pro
vision tmirKrt before iiddlnif many inor <
louds to th lr purclmiM. Htlll they would
Klve $3,70 for good loads , u prlco that ncllcrw
were unwllllnir to accept.
At thn time of clonlnir this report there
wcro still qultn a number of load * , prol'iihly
twenty , unsold , with $3.70 thn best bid for
good loads , Representative vales :

SHEEP All told there were only ten cars
of sheep In the yards today and of that
number three were consigned direct to a
packer. The demand for mutton graaeH
was very fair and the market did not show
much change. A three-load bunch of sheep
und yearlings brought $4.30 , which was fully
steady. The Southworth Wyoming wethers
sold at $4.00. as against $4.10 yesterday , but
they sold high yesterday nnd have been
selling high right alone. Today the demand
for that klnu was not so brisk nnd they
had to sell lower. The demand for feed
ing sheep Is all that could bo asked for
and the only complaint Is from would-bo
buyers , who are unable to get as many us
they want. Quite a string of Utah stuff
sold too I ! * : ) yesterday for the early edition
of the papers and the following Is from
this morning's edition : Six hundred and
