CHICAGO , Aug 4 Corn and provision !
cut out the pace on 'change today. A heavy
cosh demand for corn resulted In a complete
recovery of an early decline , the market
closing > /6SVic higher thnn yesterday Pro-
\lslona closed nt advances of from 12l&4SOc. }
"Wheat was weak early , but recovered with
corn and closed Vie Wghcr. Oats closed a
Blind o higher.
The I/\crpool market was the guiding
otar of wheat traders nt the opening. The
tmual surprise came from the Kngllsh mar
ket , quotation * there being about ' /id higher ,
a condition not looked for In vlow of the clc-
ollno hero jcntcrday. This was afterward
explained on the ground of advanced ocean
freight rates , but It had Its effect on open
ing prices here , September starting at COHc ,
nn advance of ytc. A momentary dip to
09V4C followed , but good buying by short- ) ,
mostly loc.il , resulted In a gradual nclvanco
lo K , gC9' < ic. the highest i > olnt reached dur
ing the session Besides the strength shown
by Liverpool , prospcc live buyers w ere en
couraged by continued crop cljirm c reports
from the northwest and by Snow's crop
nummary , which made the condition of
; > rlng wheat 85 per cent , or G per cent lecs
than July 1. This Indicated a total crop of
about 275,000000 bit Hut Interest In the in.xr-
Icot soon dlrd out ,
The cash demand was almost nothing 1 ere
and only a moderate demand WOH retried
from the seaboard. The northwest , which
wns a seller in this market , reported the
Hour trade quiet , and the first rush of win
ter whcrit apparently over The buying de
mand dwindled lo almost nothing during the
middle of the session nnd attempts to rwi-
llzo on earlier purchases were attended
with considerable dllllculty September
Blowly declined to 6969 > jiC nnd hung around
that prlco until about noon , when the mid
den strength of corn put some life Into
wheat and resulted In a steady advance ,
which was continued to the close. North-
vest receipts wcro 303 cara , against 31' ) los > t
week and -seventy a year ORO. Chicago re
ceipts were 129 cars , sixteen ot contract
( jrade. The proportion of new wheat was
much tmialler than nt this time n yenr ago.
Total primary receipts were 672,000 bu. At
lantic port clearances of Wheat and ( lour
aggregated 269,000 bu A visible decrease of
about 600,000 bu. In northwest stocks for the
week wns looked for. September advanced
to C9r4069'Jic and closed at C9Hc , an advance
of Vic.
Corn was fairly active. At the opening
the m-xrkot was llrm and higher on contin
ued hot weather damage reports. Weak
ness soon developed on reports ot rains In
Iowa and Nebraska , and predictions of
cooler weather , with liberal receipts 127
cars. The cash demand was excellent 200-
( > 00 bu. being reported dlsK | > sed ot here and
Hie seaboard reported forty loads taken for
export n.nd "toward the close went to cover ,
Wddlng the market up rapidly. Country ac
ceptances were light. September ranged
from SOVio < o 30T&C and closed VsG'ic higher
at 30 ( , © 30ic ,
Oats "wero quiet and fairly steady with
other grains. Trading was entirely local
and fluctuations smalt. There was some
buying on the -not weather , which Is not
desirable at thla period. Receipts wcro 474
cars The seaboard reported a peed export
domand. September ranged from ll'/ic ' to
1954o nnd closed a shade higher at 19'-4c
Provisions were strong ( and ucttve. The
vollow fever situation was more favorable ,
but the strength came mostly from a. sh irp
advance In hog prices. Bujlng of nil prod
ucts -was general and prices advanced
nteadlly , the COMJ ! being at about the top.

NEW YORK , Aug. -COTTON-In keepIng -
Ing with the sluggish trade conditions of
the early week , today's market for cotton
futures was deplorably dull with Insig
nificant changes In prices. If anything , the
tendency of values was toward a lower
level , under pure speculative neglect. The
opening was quiet at unchanged prices to
I point decline. The selling of a few lots
at old long stuff forced prices from 1 to 2
points lower , after which there wns a par-
t'nl rally on light covering , with the mnr-
ket finally quiet and steady in tone and.
nlth prices net unchanged to 2 points lower.
.V careful survey of the general situation
linrdly warranted any ch/inge of front by
either faction in professional circles and
was not calculated to Invigorate Investors.
The fact that Liverpool will be clo d to
morrow and Monday had some effect In
tamponing speculative * enthusiasm. It was
variously reported that Nelll was preparing
T. crop estimate and general summary of
the situation o be published some time In
the 1 vuer p n . of next week probably after
the government-report of Thursday.

CATTLE Today's receipts of cattle were
light enough for a Saturday , and there were
hardly enough cattle of any one kind to
make a showing or to put the market to a
real test. As It was , the few loads changed
liands In good season and the market soon
c < amo to an end for the want of something
to sell.
A considerable proportion of the offerings
consisted of cornfed steers of no very extra
riuallty. The demand on the part of local
packers was good and they soon clearedtho _
pens at good steady to strong prfces. Ono
bunch of cornfed steers sold at $5 60 , but
they were not ns good as the cattle that
brought that price earlier In the week ,
showing that there has been a strengthen
ing of values on that kind nt least. The
same was true of other cattle good enough
to bring J560 There wore no grass beef
steers of any Importance in the pen.
Something like a half-dozen loads of cows
ind heifers were offered on the market and
met with good , ready sale at fully steady
prices The quality was nothing extra ,
Other kinds of butchers' stock also sold In
vbout the same notches as yesterday.
Stockers and feeders wore In active de
mand at good , steady prices. Some good
Ightlsh cattle brought J4CO and another
iunch $4 55 , peculators being the principal
Buyers Borne nice lltUo dtockera sold at

rradunlly growing , and as receipts so far
this season haVe boon light the market la
being hold up to a pretty high point.

HOGS Light receipts , good demand and
favorable advices from Chicago sant the
hog market up a good lOc this morning.
The trade was actlvo nt the advance and
the most of the hogs sold early. The prices
paid ranged from $440 to $450 , with the
long string at $4 42V and a considerable
sprinkling at $1 45. Yesterday , it will bo
remembered , that the hogs sold at $1 SOQ4 40 ,
with $4 32'4 the popular price.
Today's advance carries the market to
the highest point touched so far this season
and moreover to the highest point reached
since May 17 , 1838 , which was the only day
during 1898 when hops sold ns high as they
did today. The market Is now 75i(80c ( higher
thnn It wns a year ago , S0fl90c higher than
two jears , and $170 hightr than three years
tigo. Representative snlues :
SHEEP Only thrw cars of sheep were
reported In the yards this morning , which
was not enouwh to take the wire edge off
the demand. The result was a good steady
market , tha offerings changing hands at
very high prices It is doubtful If the same
kind of stuff would have brought any more
In Chicago than It did here AT has been
pointed out before In this connection , there
Is a feeling among operators that this mar
ket Is too high In comnirlHon to the way
Rheep and lambs are selling at other marKet -
Kot points and that a large run might break
values somewhat ,
