'i he big trade In wheat made the market
quite nervous the greater pan ot tne aay.
lpening prices were weaa on lower caotea,
excellent weather In the northwest and
lower markets at Duluth and Minneapolis.'
September was off 4&Ho to WuSo at 9Vtf
susc, and with heavy selling early in the
day the market declined atlll further, Sep
tember selling oil to 794c Toward noon
better demand developed on large clear
ances. Increased export demand, together
with unfavorable crop advices from Ne-
trasna, and tne market turned strong, etep
tember advanclnc to 81a. There was con'
Idarable liquidation late In the day, and
while all of the advance did not hold trade,
the market retained- much of its strength
end closed firm, with September a shade
higher at 80Hc. December was up Woc,

101 care 26 of contract grade made total

Corn started weak, affected by the fine
growing weather and the weakness In the
wneat market, dui a strong; reaction oc
curred later In the day and good advance
were made. One of the chief cause for
the upngrn waa liberal covering by shorts,
although there were also good purchases by
bull leaders. An excellent export demand,
together with bullish; crop advice from
Nebraska, Were factor In bringing out the
better demand. The clone waa strong, with
September So higher at 61H5, after ranging
between 60o and 624c December was up
Uo at 1ij&1c. Local receipts were
182 curs, with 40 of contract grade.
Oat also developed good strength after
selling oft fractionally at the start. Offer
ings were light the greater part ot the day
and shorts showed considerable disposition
to cover and there was fair buying by
commission houses, moat of which was for
local account. The strength in wheat was
a supporting Influence. The close was
strong with Soptember Ho higher at 86a,
after selling between D4Hc and 86V4C De
oemher closed at 8G4c, a gain of He Local
receipts were 211 cars.
Provisions ruled strong with a fair
amount of trading. A fair advance In
prices for hogs at the yards was an early
bull factor and buying by prominent out
siders helped to maintain the early
strength. Packers were again the 'prin
cipal sellers. September pork closed 10c
higher at 812.87V4. September lard was up

acute weakness developed by the United
States Realty stock waa a factor In
checking the advance, but It was not ef
fectively renewed after the realty stocks
rallied. The day's weather map waa re
ported perfect for the growing crops, and
wheat and corn eased off in consequence.
The cotton market was Influenced by new
assertions of control by managers of the
corner. Copper wa strong In London, and
sentiment abroad was more cheerful re
garding the political outlook for south
eastern Europe- The week's receipts of
Australian gold, and the fact that the cur
rency movement with the Interior Is still
In favor of New York, promise well for
tomorrow's bank statement, although the
usual doubts surround the loan Item. These
development did not avail to hold the
market. The weakness became decided In
United State Steel stock and Pennsyl
vania and quite a number of active stocks
were forced a point or more under last
night' level. A final rally accentuated the
Irregular character of the market, and
the closlnz was firm.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $1,169,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

Wool Market.
BOSTON, Aug. 21. WOOL The Commer
cial Bulletin will say tomorrow: The mar
ket Is docldedly quieter this week. There
have been no large transactions since last
week. The market has lost none of Its
strength. Prices are .Arm all along the
line. There Is no shading of them In any
direction. Buyers returning from the west
say that -primary markets were seldom so
closely cleaned up. Yet receipts In Boston
are far smaller. than last year, Indicating
that the shortage this year has not been
exaggerated. There Is a better feeling re-
fortod abroad, and the general opinion Is
hat the September auction sales In Lon
don will show a further advance, not only
In crosslireds, but In merinos aa well. The
shipments of wool from Boston to date
from December 81, 1902, are 146.C32.514
pounds, against 176,126.163 pounds at the
same date last year. The receipts to date

CATTLE There was rather a light run
of cattle here today, even for a Friday,
and the general market could be quoted
fairly active and steady to strong on all
desirable grades of killers. All the early
arrivals were sold In good season, but two
trains were late In arriving, and those de
layed the close until rather a late hour.
There were only a few cars of corn-fed
cattle on sale this morning, and the steers
commanded steady to strong prices. As
high as $6.30 was paid, or the same as yes
terday's too. The better grades were all
In good demand, and could be quoted
strong, and even the leas desirable kinds
soia at tuny steady pnoes.
The cow market aid not show much
change from yesterday. Buyers took hold
fairly well, and everything was disposed
of at just about steady prices. The prices
paid today looked about steady with the
ciose 01 last ween, ine aecune 01 tne eariy
part of the week having been regained.
But for the late arrivals an early clear
ance would have been made.
Bulls, veal calves and stags have been
selling In Just about the same notches all
the week.
There were practically no stock cattle
on sale at the opening of the market this
morning, but several cars came in late.
The fact that the close of the week Is at
hand of course cut down the demand to
quite an extent, apd the market certainly
was no more than steady.
Western grass beef steers were very
scarce this morning, but In view of the
limited supply of corn-feds the market
could safely be quoted strong 'on anything
at all desirable. The market for the week
Is also a little stronger. Range cows sold
about steady, and stock cattle were cer
tainly no more than steady. Representa
tive sales:

HOGS There was a small run of hogs
here this morning, and as the local as well
aa the shipping demand, was In good shape,
tne maraei ODenea tuny a nickel niatner.
The advance applies to both light and
heavy weights. '1 he heavy hogs sold largely
from $6 10 to $6.20. medium weights from
$6.20 to $6.30 and lights from $6.j6 to $6.60.
The top price waa paid for a very fancy
load, and while they sold 10c higher than
yesterday's top they were better than any
thing offered on yesterday's market. Trad
ing waa not very brisk today, as packers
were slow to pay the advance, but still the
bulk was disposed of In fairly good season.
There was no particular change In the
market from start to finish. It will be no
ticed from the sales below that there wore
a good many more light hoga on aale today
than arrived yesterday and that fact of
course makes the market on paper today
look higher than It really was as compared
with yesterduy. i
About noon a train arrived with several
cars of hogs, and as packers had their
more urgent orders filled, trsdlng was alow,
with prices a little weaker. Representative

SHEEP There were no fresh arrivals of
sheep or lambs here this morning, and con
sequently a test of values could not be
made. Receipts at the principal market
points have been quite liberal this week
aad besides that the bulk of the offerings
were fat enough for killers. As a result
packers have had more stuff than they
needed for their Immediate requirements
and prices had to suffer. The decline has
been somewhat uneven, some bunches Ap
parently eelllng to better advantage than
othera, but aa a general thing the market
may be quoted Mi.o lower on both fat
sheep and lambs, though the greatest de
cline has undnuntedly been on lambs. There
has been a scarcity of good lambs here all
the week, and Just what they would bring
11 onerea is largely guess worn, Dul the
medium grades, such as have been offered
are right around a quarter lower than they
wnB ek wpfa ago.
There haa been a good demand for feed
ere an ine weea ana tne aesitable grariei
have held right close to steady. The com
rnon stuff and coarse, heavy pelted wethers
nave sunerea to some extent, but the de
cline even on that class Is not serious.

RAILROAD EARNINGS STILL INCREASE
Riagerated Stories Are Told of Bay
ere Farehases la New York, Al
though Baalaess Is Really
Heavy.
NEW TORK. Aug. 21.-R. J. Dun A
Co.'g weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Business Is well maintained, aside from
the quieting Influences of the vacation sea
son, which somewhat restricts trade and
retards collections. Making due allowance
SiTii. trlo,,t 'n no cause for com
plaint Ihe adverse factors that have been
operating against prosperity In recent pre
ceding weeks are no longer aa potent, nor
mal Influencea gradually prevailing. Labor
controversies still curtail the output of a
few products and the consumption of all
the necessaries of life.
In spite of several reasons for expecting
a check to freight traffic, railroad earn
ings thus far reported for August show
an average gain of 9.6 per cent over laat
year and 18.2 per cent over 190L Complaints
are beginning to be heard regarding the
Inadequate facilities of the railroads, and It
now appears that Inconvenience and loss
must be sgain experienced.
Baying Brisk, hat Exaggerated.
Sensational stories of the large number
of buyers now in New York and the fahu
lous sums they spend- csnnot be accepted
as statistically accurate, but It Is prob
able that an Increase over all previous
years Is actually occurring, despite the
demoralisation In cottons caused by specu
lation In the raw material.
Although the production of coks hss been
moderately curtailed, supplies accumulated
and prices are firm.
More large contracts for Iron and steel
have been placed by a prominent manu
facuirer of agricultural machinery, and as
the business has been held back entirely
on account of prices, It Is believed that no
