CUirOAOO , Aug. 23. Corn was the most
active market on 'change today. Humors
of a squeeze In the September option
alarmed shorts and advanced the price ' /4c.
Wheat was slow and irregular , with trading
mostly professional und with sentiment
favoring lower prices. September closed a
nhado lower and December Uo lower. Oat8 ,
closed a shade- higher and provisions 2&o
lower to Go higher. Flaxsced woa again In
llK ) demand and advanced about 3c for cash.
At the opening and for a short time after
wheat was Inlluenccd by the strength of
corn. Shorts were having a big scramble In
that pit and .their . eagerness to get under
cover had uomo effect on shorts In wheat.
ILongs were out of the market for the tlmo
ibelng and prices advanced for both Septem
ber and December. December opened un
changed at 73o and advanced to 74JJ74HC.
September openOd a shade higher at 71ft ©
71o and advanced to 72c. The demand was
email , however , and news In general favorIng -
Ing the bears a selling movement set In nt
the advance , which was almost entire y
jirofesslonal at llrst , but which finally
brought out sldo longs to the market ami
induced a good deal of liquidation. rcHU tliiB
In a material decline In prices all around.
The market bernme extremely dull and
nfler 11 o'clock prices kept within a com-
imratlvoly narrow range , but with Hcntl-
inent favoring the wiling side , and rallies
worn Invariably followed by fresh attacks
) domestic and foreign crop news wnR
favorable. Snow's crop summary estimated
the yield of Minnesota and the Dakotas at
tibout 175,000.000 bushels spring wheat and
other roportH Indicated a better condition of
cropH In the northwest than has been
stilted. The Roumanian crop was nlso said
to bo far better than previously reported.
The cash situation , liowevcr. continued
rood and this was a supporting factor to
the market. The seaboard put the export
engagements nt 71 loads and the cash dc-
mnnd locally was nlso good. Primary re
ceipts were much below last years , the
total being 584.0CO bushels , compared with
. Minneapolis and Du uth
S07.000 a year ago.
receipts were 209 oars. n alnst 212 last week
nnd fill a year ago. Chicago receipts were
BS cars , 4 of contract grade. Atlantic port
clearances of wheat nnd ( lour were placed
nt K . < XM bushels. The visible supply was
not expected to show much change. An in-
crcnsi- was looked for previous to the an
nouncement of an expected decrease of
nboul 1,600.000 bushels nt Minneapolis and
Duluth. The market was diligently ham-
nit-red by the bears during the last hour ,
Imt better support materialized and after
September liaJ declined to 71c and Decem
ber to 73V4c , the market became steadier.
September reacted to 71 % < f lc and Dccem-
ibor to 73c. Those were the closing figures.
There was a big trade In corn , especially
5n September. Rumors were current of n.
squeeze In that option and Judging from
the nnxloty of shorts .to cover had some
foundation. Leading commission. h ° ses
were- heavy buyers The excellent cash de
mand and moderate receipts strengthened
the Bltuatlon. Distant futures were llrm
with September , but did not hold their
Strength.1 Receipts were 617 cars. Septem
ber got over calls , which Increased the dc-
inanS for a time. There was considerable
realizing late In the session and best prlcen
Old not hold. September ranged from Mo to
R2c and closed % ST'Ac higher " SMttc. .
iDecember closed unchanged nt 2S = 4-r.2c. - .
Oats In the main followed corn. J ho
covering movement in September corn
caused like action In September oota and

Therp In a Mnrkril Decline In ( lie
Activity of New York .Market.
NEW YORK. Aug. 25-There was a
marked decline In activity In the stock
market today , total sales falling to less
than 600.000 shares. Very little evidence
was left of the recent upward tendency of
securities. The spots of strength were few
nnd far between and for the most part obscure -
scuro and usually Inactive stocks which
moved under the Influence of special causes.
Depression from foreign stock markets re
flected hero and Increasing anxiety over to
morrow's bank statement were the Im
pelling causes of the heaviness. Financial
centers In Europe obviously labor under re
newed uneasiness over the situation in tne
Transvaal. There was In addition the
prospect of a holiday tomorrow on the Lon
don exchange to discourage now commit
ments there.
The recent buying In Now York from that
source was discontinued entirely nnd pales
for London account were BUlllclent to exer
cise a notably depressing Influence. There
was an opening spurt In American Tobacco
which carried It up VA per cent , but this
was almost Immediately lost. The special
ties were weak for the rest of the day ,
Sugar being under severe pressure at tlmcH.
Its extreme decline was 3U and Its net loss
only about a point less. Brooklyn Transit
and Manhattan succumbed to the prevailing
weakness. Tennessee Coal did better , but
saved , only a fraction ot a rise of over a
point.
Occasional strength cropped out here nnd
there , under the Influence of which the
market made some effort to advance , but
without success. There was a notable buyIng -
Ing movement In Union Pacific preferred ,

There was continued strength In a group of
minor grangers , St. Paul and Duluth lend
ing with a rise , of 7 points. Wisconsin
Central , Duluth , South Shore and Atlantic
preferred , Minneapolis. St. Paul & Sault
Ste. Marie preferred , Des Molnes & Fort
Dodge and Kcokuk & Des Molnes preferred
were Included In this group , gains running
from a fraction to 2 points. Rio Grande &
Western preferred , Oregon Navigation ,
Cleveland , Lorraine & Wheeling preferred
and Chicago Great Western preferred "A"
were other points of strength. Kansas &
Texas preferred was the only one of the
southwesterly to maintain the early show
of strength.
Liquidation was not urgent In the general
list , the market falling Into intense dull
ness , with a declining tendency. The known
movements of money for the week indicate
a loss In cash to the banks of nearly $3,600-
000 , $2,927,000 of which went to the subtrcas-
ury.
ury.None of the gold' ' which went recently to
JIontre.il has been returned and no gold has
come from the subtreasury on account of
drafts from the San Francisco mint. With
out regard therefore to the possible hidden
drain of cash a sharp decline In surplus re
serves Is probable unless the contraction In
loans has been much larger than appeared.
Interior exchanges on New York at several
Important points showed declines today and
there was considerable calling of loans. The
fate declines in the money rate to 2 per
cent had little significance. The rate was
quite Hrm during the day , about 3 per cent.
Contrary to recent experience , sterling ex
change failed to weaken In response to the
firmness of money here , but hardened a
fraction under the Influence of London's
sales of securities in New York.
Dealings In bonds were mostly In the
speculative Issues at Improved prices.
Total sales , par value , $2,375,000.
United States new 4s declined ? J In. the
bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The markets
here were generally reactionary owing to
Idleness before the holidays and pending
the settlements. Americana very quiet and
receded until the afternoon , then hardened
on New York buying. Union Pacific and
Missouri Pacific were wanted here. Spanish
49 were 68 % , Tlntos 44Vi and Anacondas
1113-16. The bank bought 18,000 gold In
bars and 12,000 In German coin and 40,000
was taken for the continent. Money was
easy. Treasury bill tenders for three

NEW YORK , Aug. 23. COTTON The
cotton market was Irregular today , with
business on the reduced ! scale and of a
still more local professional character than
of late. The opening was steady , at a de
cline of SitiG points , the latter In Septem
ber , due to the. large number bf notices
Issued this morning. Liverpool cables were
better and bad crop accounts were re
ceived during the llrst hour. The early sellIng -
Ing soon stopped and the market rallied on

gen wool Is the most active , line In the
market , selling In large blocks for 17c , to
cost 32c , clean. The active market for
woolen goods of all kinds Is n , strong sup
port of the- market on raw materials. The
sales of the week are 4,468,500 domestic and
792.700 foreign , a total of 5,261,000 this week ,

The packer hide market Is considerably
stronger. There have been quotable
changes of prices , but In some selections
the sales have exceeded the kill and the
packers are unable to make deliveries.
Hides may as well bo added to the lists of

Average prlto paid for hogs for the last
several days with comparisons ;
cattle of all kinds were reported In the
yards this morning and of that number
twenty-five were consigned direct to pack
ers and were not offered for sale , so that
there were In reality only a very moderate
number on sale as compared with previous
days.
The supply of beef steers was meager and
the quality not very good. A few loads of
cornfed steers were offered and brought
steady prices , but there were no finished
cattle among them. Only a few loads of
crass beef steers were on sale 'and not
enough seemingly to Interest packers , the
feeders aa a rule being the best buyers.
While cornfed steers have not shown much
change In the matter of values' , the market ,
being Just as high any time of late , grass ,
beef has had ra lower tendency and It la
safe to call the market on that kind fully
23o lower during the last few days. Some
would say that It was off more thnn that.
Cows and heifers were slow today and It
was the very evident Intention of buyers
to take off fylplOc. Yesterday's market on
cows was also easier and for the week
common to medium cows are 10@ 0c lower
and the better kinds lOo lower.
Some of the most desirable lots of feeders
sold at steady prices this morning , but the
general market on stockers and feeders was
a little lower and Inclined to drag on any
thing but the best. The reason for the
r.hnnirft In th mnrU f le t Via fnnrM In thn
fact that It was the latter part of the week
and that there were quite a number of
cattle still remaining in the hands of specu
lators. Considering the circumstances ,
however , the market was not in bad shape
and It Is very apparent that operators on
the market have a good deal of confidence
In Its future. Representative sales :

HOGS Chicago came lower this morning
and the market at this point eased off a
little , the hops selling a shade to Be lower.
The general run of llghi and light mixed
loads brought II.4.VJJ4.PO. Oood heavy mixed
lends wont nt M,37'tJf4.42's ' and heavy puck-
Ing hogs nt Jl 307N.35. Some very rough
nnd common hog ? sold down to $4.25.
The market was fairly nctlvont the
prices noted above and the most of the hogs
changed hands early In the morning. To
ward the close It slowed tip n little nnd
the demand did not appear quite so brisk ,
but that has been the regular program for
some little time back. The early market
deems to be th < > best and there Is nn apparent
Inclination among buyers to try to cheapen
up on the late pales ,
A glance nt table of average prices above
will show thnt today's market was the- low
market of the week to dnto nnd that the
hogs sold close to 7 > 4c lower than one week
ago. Representative onles :
SHEEP Only two cars were reported In
the yards this morning , so that there was
nothing here to make a market. It Is safe
to say , however , that the very active de
mand noted yesterday was still In evidence
| today and a largo number of both sheep
and lambs might have been disposed of.
In addition to the demand for killers there
Is also a very active demand for feeders.
Inquiries are coming In rapidly from the
country for both stockers and feeders and
commission men report having a large num-
'ber ' of orders calling for several thousand
eheop on nlo. So far very few feeding
sheep have put In an appearance and It
has been Impossible to oven make a be
ginning of filling orders.
