Wheat stnrtcd today utrong, but weakened Inter on disappoint ing exports mill closed easy He under yes terday. Corn closed 'fee una oats c higher for September delivery. Provisions closed 7!ic lower to Be higher. (September wheat mm koNI freely at the beginning of the sos Blon because yesterday's frost earc proved to have been practically unfounded and be endse the pool cables were easy. Scptmbor opened H'V4' lower at TlWTlUc The'corn strength started a buying movement of fair proportions anil during the llrst hour the market ascended to "l'ic. The fact that only eight loads were taken for foreign shipments, lighter seaboard clearances and optimistic crop reports from the spring wheat country later combined to create bearlshncss and September In consequence declined to 7(H4e and closed easy, under yesterday at 71ic. Seaboard clear ances were h,'jO,i bushels, while primary rcrelnts aggregated 891.0'jo bushels, com pared with M1.000 bushels last year. Mimic npolls and Diiluth rciiorted 1S1 cars, against 150 last week and 2.13 a year ago. Local receipts were 2i cars, 13 of contract crude. Corn was active. The Cincinnati Price Current remarked the probable necessity of reducing Hs previous crop estimate of l.-w.-OiO.Ijoo bushels by lUi0.rJ or S0,0,ni) bushels. This announcement gave the bull ish Impetus early which carried September to the best price ot the day without ma terial reactions. Advices from the country were as usual not calculated to check ine advance. The wheat weakness and the de sire fot prollts caused selling on the bulge ond n decline ensued, but the close was tlrm. September sold between 57,4c nnd 6Sic and closed ic higher at 67?iC Re ceipts were 9.1 cars. Oats were handled on a narrow local mar ket, prices fluctuating according to the mood of the corn pit.

M1W YOIIK STOCKS AMI IIDMI.H, Trailer Wnfeh Crop nnd lllttli Itnllroml I'nrnliiHM. NEW YORK. Aug. 8 -Unusual prom inence was given to the trading In the United States Steel stocks owing to the fre quency with which large blocks changed hnnds nt a rising scale. Professional oper ators were Inclined to cover shorts In theso Issues owing to the resumption of work at some plants and the nlllclal announcement of tho absorption of the Shelby Tube works. When the prices of the steel stocks began to mount upward and reached a level of 24 and 2 per cent respectively above yester day for the common and preferred, the gen eral mnrket kept pace with the movement nnd exceeded those gains In some Instances. There were many Interruptions to tho gen eral rise during the day by protlt-taklng and short selling by the room operators, but the tecesslons wero not noteworthy except for the United States Steel stocks, which ended about 1 point below the best, when n report circulated that a prominent operator was unloading stock purchased at n much lower level, This selling soon affected the other market, but stagnation soon resulted and the closing dealings showed steadiness. Conspicuous strength was displayed by St. Paul. Union Paclllc. Missouri Pnclllc. Sugnr nnd Iyaekawannn, which were from 1 to 5 points higher nnd led the gains in their respective groups, The declaration of only the regular dividend on Union Paclllc wns without effect on the stock, the price In fnct ruling nt 971!. the best nrlce of the dav. when the announcement was made. No ex planation wns made of the rise to 994 at tho close by Missouri Paclllc. but It was asserted that 11 speculative Interest was re sponsible. Stocks which usually do not nt- tain prominence In the dea nss attracted some attention todny owing to the material character of their advances, the list Includ ing Oreat Northern preferred, (leneral Elec tric, consolidated lias, Hocking valley, Colorado Southern llrst preferred, Cincin nati, i nic.igo, cieveinnu A: hi. 1.0111s, nt. Lnwrenco & Adirondack and Lake Erie & Western, which were 2&G points higher. Monetary conditions were viewed In a fnvornble light owing to the steadv gain by tho banks on subtrensurv onerntlons. this morning's stntcment showing a gain of over i,uwi,uw on tne ween thus far. sterling ex change rntes continued upward, demand hills being held quite generally above J1.8S, while sixty-day drafts brought JI.SS11;. The bond mnrket wns strong today, the feature being Mohawk and Mnlone Incomes. which advanced nearly 6 points. Total snles, par vaiue, ji.wio.iko. united states nontts wero all unchanged on the last call. The Commercial Advertiser's. London financial cablegram snvs: The stock mar ket Is still stagnant, but the feeling Is nmro cheerful, the chief Improvement being In American snares, wnicu opened better on hopes of a good crop report. The gmngers led and Erie followed. London wns only n moderate buyer, but New York sunnorted prices nnd the closing was at the best. The Hank of Ktigland hns bought jU20.0ho co d In bars. Money Is scarce, as .T.4.oii0,0j0 must be nan! on the new consols. The market was compelled today to borrow $500,0ik).
