COM GIVES EXHIBITION OF STRENGTH Onts Arr It I ( r.n-, I-'ollowInK 11 nil Ui(nliiKf Hot Turn 1,'iiwnrit I. liter in Session llcliinl Uy Corn nml Wheat. CillCAaO, July 3. Wheat was firm and nctlvo today under bullish advices from homo nnd abroad, August closing l'MlBc over yesterday. Corn closed lQl'.Sc up and oats io Improved. Hog products at tho cose were 74j?jlSc better. That longs In wheat overnight had cvl ". ntly absorbed somo hope during the night was apparent when tho market opened. ' ley hud In mind tho fact that tho mur I. t declined 11c from the top and hence r ht bo ready for a reaction. Tho main 1. Huenco at first, however, wus tho uncx t'Clcd Rte.'idlncfls of Liverpool In tho face tho 3c decline hero yesterday. The l nrket showed only a fractional loss) and urine the first trailing bourn it-gained wira of that. It was ulso reported that Liverpool shlpplns bids were nearly on a arlty with American prices, August wheat on tho Hoard of Trade joencd lf lHc higher at TftVu'TSVic and ehortly after-T.-ard sold to 7Wc. on profit taking All ; UHt reacted to SV4c, whl6h proved to be the bottom price for the day. There were i lore rains In the northwest, but reports Pom that section said the three days' pre r pltatlon of moisture, although heavy, had rnmn too late. Complaints that the croo In North Dakota and .Mlimrsola was almost complete failure wero numerous. Kroni Chill camo the report that rnlns prevented t-owlng. rendering a small crop next season Inevitable. This sort of news set the shorts to covering. Their buying, coupled with pome outsldo demand nnd support from In fluential local bulls, caused a rally which tarried August to S0'ifiWc. Tho bulge net the usual prollt taking and tho market dropped from tho top to '9i.(,'-i7:i'4e, but the loso was strong, August Itrffl" up at TUfiTDHC. Seaboard clearings in wheat mid flour wero equal lo 4S4,(0) bu. Primary receipts aggregated 3S10uO bu. Minneapolis nnd Duluth reported W ears, against Mi last week. local rerolpts were 144 cam, seven of contract grade. Torn gave an exhibition of strength and nctlvlty, willed was partly due to wheat, but principally to Its own condition. Hot weather In Kansas nnd Nehrusku and an excellent cash demand were lin.'ortnnt links In tho bull ohnln. Liverpool was hlghor for futures, but deprerscd on spots. Receipts were 1,161 ears. The outside de mand was excellont and the covering of shorts on a liberal scale, August sold be tween 42io and llftc. closing lffl'sc up at CiWttUc. Oats were n bit easy, following a firm opening, but turned upward later In the day, helped by corn and wheat, and rioted firm. There wu considerable liquidation by northwestern Interests and this caused l-he depression early. During the latter hnlf of the session Hhorts were the beat buyers. Receipts 'were 463 cars. August sold be tween ZSc and 22Hc und closed ije better at 23ic. Tho provision market was strong and moderately active. Hog rcelpt wero light und considerably under the estimate, The f;raln strength was a help nnd there was ess selling by western packers than there has been recently. Shipments of produce, during the twenty-four hours preceding were very larse. Shorts were the best buyers.

Obvious MlTort .tlmle to Continue Ad vance lit Prices, NEW YORK, July 3.-There was nn ob vious effort this morning to continue tho manipulated advance In prices which was set on foot yesterday by a clique of tiro fesslonal traders. The attempt met with considerable success for ft time, astlsted an It was by special Inlluences n (Tec ting one or two Individual stocks, Thero was nn active revival of old and neglected rumors concerning dividend paving prospects of a number of railroads, which h.i'e been pur suing a downward course for some tltnu on account of tho general supposition that sur plus railroad earnings would be conserved for future needs, rather thun distributed as Increased dividends. Prominent in this class were Baltimore Si Ohio and Missouri Pacific, which were advanced about n point or over by an active bidding up process during the morning, There was a contin uance of the recent unexplained demand for tho Reading nnd New Joisey Central stocks, the latter rising nt unu time 2 points. Sugar rose with nn appearance of strength, but rclnpsed on realizing with the announcement of a further rlso In tho price of tho product. Brooklyn Trunslt de rived some benefit from yesterday's verdict In the trial for conspiracy to discredit tho securities of the company. The arly de pression .from London, whero the growing seriousness of the problem In China had Its effect, seempd to ba totally Ignored In this market and had no Influence. In checking tho opening; .dvnnce. Not flo with tho In fluence of thu wheat market, which nsnln demonstrated Its dominating power on stocks, When prices of wheat were seen to advanco railroad stocks turned down wards and found no effective support for the rest of the day. The general level of prices fell balow last night In tho Into dealings, but there wre some tockx which retained small not gains, though much di minished from those at tho high level of prices. Although the advance was checked, the gains wnlcn were secured In yesterday' movement were not very largely en croached upon. The market durlmr the lat ter part ot the day was dull almout to the point of stagnation, there being no disposi tion to put out fresh contracts on the eve of a. holiday. Rock Island was added to tho list of railroads whose operating expenses for May have more than wlptd out Wio In creano In their gross earnings. The money market was very dull nnd not quotubly changed, but tho diffusion of Interest and dividend payments hHS evidently com menced. The sub-treasury had a debit bal anca at the clearing; house Unlay of nearly $2.000,0011, and the day's excess of expendi tures over rocelpts of public revenues ut Washington amounted to $2,372.15). These figures reflect tho poytnent of lntcrst on government bonds. It wa reported that tho Canadian Bank of Commerce, waa In receipt of $fiCO,000 of Klondike gold. On tho other hand, New York exchnnso ut Chicago fell from 20c premium to par nnd there was daos!ted at the sub-trensury here $100,0u0 for payment fit other polnto. Tho Interior demand for currency Is thus seen to be growing. Tho bond mnrkat moved In sympathy with stocks, advancing In tho early dealings, but yielding somewhat with tine reaction In stocks, Total sales, par value, $940,000. United States old 4 nnd new 4s advanced 14 point and tho Za and Cs 14 point In tho bid prlco. Tho Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram Is as follows; Tho mar kets here were colorless nnd undecided to day In the absence of further news from China. American securities moved within narrow limits and the dealings In them wero petty. The bank sold 23,000 sterling gold In French coin.

Cotton Mnrket. NRW YORK, July 3. While today's cot ton murket was higher the volumo of busi ness was moderate and the gsnernl char acter of the trading was unsatisfactory, be ing specially lacking In the element of public Interest. Officially th market opened steady, with prices 40 points higher. Subsequently transactions raised the level of prices still higher. At tho strongest Interval tho net gain on yester day's closing figures was a mntter of llifT 18 points. The demand enme chiefly from local sources, with buying to cover short contracts the feature of the day's business. The strong cables were to some extent off set by a disposition to fear that the Kng llsh cotton trado rwus predisposed to tako alarm and magnify the damage to tho growing crop In .Mississippi and other sec tions or tho cotton belt through late exces sive rains. It Was argued that the for eigners had been so badly punlfched for their disregard oflast year's crop damage reports that they were unduly Intimidated by tho conflicting accounts and that for this reiuson tho advance of 3-32d In spot prices and liflB-Sld In futures at Liverpool was probably more than the situation justified. On this reasoning there was some selling here for a reaction, especially ns general outside speculative Interest was not 11 factor. The. weokly weather report, al though bullish, as hardly tis much as of lato, somewhat sensational reports from private sources had led the trade to expect. Tho official statement, therefore, fell rather flat and left the market to finish In a. quiet, featureless fashion, steady In tone, with the net advance of the day reduced to 10- 515 points.

The offerings wore made up largely of fnt cattle of fair quality, though there was a good sprinkling of half-fat stuff and cattle showing grass. There wan not much cow stuff on sale and stock cattlo were also In light receipt. The light run of beef cattle today made competition nmong local packers quite keen, ns they nil seemed to want their usual Tuesday supply. As a result the market opened up at an early hour nnd offerings changed hands nt a rapid rate. Anything choice sold close to 10c higher than on Monday, while more common and half-fat stuff was In better demand nt fully steady prices, owing to the shortage In good cat tle. Grass cattle also moved more freely for the same reason. It was a good market throughout, with prices ranging strong to 10c hlaher. Good cow stuff was In good demand to day, and In some cases commanded a little stronger prices. Grass cows and common stuff In gmeral sold nbout the samo as they have been, though the market today was a little uneven, tho Drlcn dencnditiK- n good deal on how badly a buyer wanted the cattle. Bulls, calves and sUgs sold about the same as yesterday, but calves arc con siderably lower than they were a week ago. The stocker and feeder trade took on a little more life today, us the yards were pretty well cleaned up yesterday and buyers were looking for more cattlo.
