lower today. Corn closed Uc higher and
oats ,c ilown. Provisions were IrreRular,
pork closing 33c lower, lurd 51j?,4e depressed
and ribs, unchanged.
Wheat opened weak, unrhnnKed to 2'ie
lower; September at "affi"34c. A ray of
bullishness was extracted from llcliter Ar
Kcntlne shipments and the fact that Liver
pool showed less decline than there was
hero yesterday. September, following the
opening, advanced to 7.Tc, but failed to
hold It. The habit of llnildatlon had a hold
on local traders, as well as on some out
Ide, people. Western receipts were smaller,
iui me scums continueu in a urenrv
way. the cash demand lieltn? tdni'lt the nil
only half lllied and September gradually
declined to 7.1!ic and closed weak, "ifa'dc
tinder yesterday at 727f73c. The onlv fea
ture of the drearv session wns llie Inel f
speculation. Clearances In wheat and Hour
nt thn seaboard were equal to KO.miO
nusncis. rrimnry receipts aggregated ora.
noo liushels, compared with 620.000 last year.
Minneapolis ami Duluth reported 193 cars,

Local receipts were 369 cars, 38 of contract
Brnrlo.
Corn was quiet but firm. Hecelpts were
iikiii, ui cars nere, ami country accept
mires small. Kansas still had hot weather,
which the experts used ns a basis for dam
age, claims. September longs stood pat and
short, although not entirely convinced of
the possibility of a squeeze, which com
pelled In many cases to buy September
mm anil put It nut ngaln for October at
l'WiO discount. The December discount
widened to 5,4c. Sales for shipment here
wero 100,000 bushels, while New York re
ported 320 loads taken for export. Sep.
lember sold between 39c and 39HC cloning
,e higher at 39V&C.
The market for oats wns quiet, Its piile
beating only Hiilllctcntly to show Hint life
still existed. Hecelpts were 313 cars. There
was some talk of damages from excessive
rains In Iowa and Illinois. September sold
between 22c and 21,li21e, closing Vc lower
ni ;.'i'vu.i'c.
Provisions were dull, with unexpected
weakness developing In lard during the
session. Hlbs, on tho other hand, were
ratner steady. i.ocnl selling or January

CATTLE Arrivals of cattle were light
this morulni: and as 11 result Hm mnrv.i
was In much better shspe than It was
yesterday. Huyers seemed to want fresh
supplies nnd tho prices paid compared fa
vorably with vestrrdav.
The demand for the better grades of
cornfed steers was nctlvo nnd ns high as
J5.il) was llllld. Which It lu tl,mi.l,, lu
nearly as much ns they would have brought
in.- nine huh weeK. ah a general tiling,
however, the bOtrr grades of corn cattle
may be called 5'dlOc lower for the week,
wh 0 the half-fnt stuff which
competition with the western grnssers Is
lMjc lower The mnrket today on that
class of cattle was Just about steady at
the decline, while the better grades sold
steady to strons.
ine cow mnrket was not .materially dif
ferent today us far as prices are concerned,
but tho light .supply gave a little more life
to tho trade. The demand for the hotter
tirades has been good all the week and
canners have also sold freely, but the
medium kinds have been nei:lcctl.
There was a lively trade again this morn
ing on (dockers nnd feeders. The heavier
weights were In the greatest demand and
brought good strong prices nnd sales were
made that looked 25c hlcher than thnsn ,if
n week ago. Light cattlo were just about
steady today, but for the week thev have
advanced more than the heavy cattle. At
ine ciose 01 last wecK it was practically
linposslblo to sell the light cattle, hut now
thnv ninv-n mnrn trunk- nn.l am
lllgher.
Tho sunnlv of western cattle wns imi
very heavy today and prices as a rule
were about steady at yesterday's decline.
Steers met with ready sale. The better
grades In some cases Hold a little stronger,
but cows and heifers were about stendv.
(Jood feeders were strong nnd nctlvo arid
ine common anil llglil cnttlo unchanged.

SHEEP The sheen mnrket w.m In bad
shape today. Fresh arrivals were small,
but for the week the supply has been over
30,000 and" another big run Is looked for
next week. The Chicago market wns rather
demoralized, as the demand of mutton Is
light, which, of course, had 11 depressing
effect upon trade nt this point. At noon
nothing had been sold except a few hold
overs and buyers did not seem to want
fresh supplies at any price. For the week
the sheeti market Is nrottnd 25c lower nnd
ihe week closes very dull nnd weak.
The Chicago market was 25c lower on
Iambs today, but up to the time thnt re
port was received lambs here were nbout
Lie higher than they were the first of the
week.

the crop lu somo sections was being dam

on tho upturn Investment speculation from

In an almost lifeless Htnte. On tho down
turn the wire houses figured prominently

showed an undercurrent, nil of which In
creased the pessimistic feeling In the pit.

l.nrgr fur Tills Time of
thp Ycnr.
NEW YOHK, Aug. 17. It. O. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
sny:
After (i great wave of advancing prices
"inimiKni us 10 ousiuess is generally nan
gerous. Hut the top was reached the mid
dle of Mnrch, since which time reaction
has come In every great Industry, so Hup
consumers are nsklng whether In some di
rections the decline mnv not have b"en
as real ns the advance, and tho piestlon
whether the present basis of prices is not
secure. There nre further evidences -if
weakness In rnw materials, notably the
break In structural Iron, hut each one Is
availed of to place heavy contracts. New
mrs, is wucotning uuyers from nil oer
the country In larger numbers than for
many years nt this season. In dry mods.
In groceries, In Jewelry and In hardware,
nnd If contracts aro not placed to as large
a volume ns expected bv this time It Is
becauso of conservatism of those who think
tney may compel somo further shading of
prices.
Reports this week from other Imnort.tnt
points of distribution show the same eager
ness to buy when these are right. It Is
becoming more apparent that the bottom
hns been reached In prices of Iron nnd
steel. The decline wns severe nnd recovery
must 00 siow, mil grauuai nuvniie.s ami
moderately Increased activity lire mure
healthy than violent chnnges In no single
division Is the Improvement mor? strik
ing thnn In uny other. Except steel rails,
all forms of Iron from the ore to the
Mulshed product nre being sought more
eagerly and with less effort to secure fur
ther concessions lu prices.
The llrst effort of the ofllclnl report of
wheat conditions Indicating n total crop
of only 513,997,000 bushels was to strengthen
prices, but when the secretary of agrlcul
turo was reported us predicting "dollar
wheat" before tho end of the year the
market showed an Inclination to dl-niuree
and the September option fell below so
cents at New York for the first tlmo In two
months. For the year thus far shmmelits
of boots and shoes from Hoston nre 2,733,-
4(,i cases, against z,9i4,ss,i in is:n. hut tho
volume of business to date has been ex
ceeded In only three years. The trnde Is
suffering from accumulation of stocks thnt
cannot be sold nt a. loss as compared with
ine price at wiucn snoes now could lie
made. Hides nre In n better position than
the leather market seems to wnrrnnt.
Failures for the week were 161 lu the
I'nlted States, niralnst 156 Inst vcr. and
twenty-four In Canada, against twenty
four last year.

NEW YOHK. Aug. 17. IlrndstrceCs to
morrow will say:
Among tho favorable features reported
this week are advices of further expnnslnn
In fall trade distribution at leading western
centers, with relatively best buying pro
reeding from thoso sections of tin- south
west which have protlted bv pood crops, a
tinner tono and a perceptible growth n
commerce, accompanied by heavy buying in
some clnsses of steel and Iron and a dis
position to believe that an average wheat
crop and much more than average com and
onts crops tiro assuied. Steady increases
In current gross rallwnv earnings over a
year ago and on exceptionally favorable
earnings report lor the hrst half of the
year are additionally encouraging features.
The list of unfavorable elements In the
trade situation Is at best 11 negative one,
tho approach of a presidential cainpnlgn.
tho backward deinnnd for spring woolens
and the slow demand for the raw material,
the restriction In production of some makes
of cotton goods, tho dullness In building
naterlals, notably lumber, anil the back
ward Inquiry for boots and shoes at the
east being among these, blieiulatlon In
pearly all lines, and especially In food
ptoducts, Is nt a low chb. and what price
chnnges nro noted aro mainly because of
these, though weather nnd crop conditions
have played some part In wheal, corn and
cotton respectively.
Tho money market ns a whole la still
easy, tho only Increase In demand being
noted at the west, where trade Is expand
ing, but where moving crops nro still lu the
future. The prices of staples are perhaps
slightly Irregular, but changeii are small
and the larger number of staples .ire nu
cha used.
