THERE WAS A FAIR TRADE IN THAT CEREAL Curly Strength Wns Attrlbuu-il Mnlnly tn Mciullcr I'lirrlgn Ailvlcv * unit tha Hiiiutlcr Moti'incut , Kcci'lptu J'ulllni ; ( Julto .Short , CHICAGO , Jifly 25. Iletter cables and ad vancing outside markets firmed wheat up early In the session today , but the price broke later and September closed Un lower than last nlcht. Corn closed % c lower , oats % c lower and provisions slightly higher. There was a fair trade In wheat during the first part of the session , but only ordinary Inter est was displayed later In the d.iy. The feel ing was fairly steady. Initial trades were at D3c , September atlie advance , cased off from % c to ftc , rallied He , changed some nnd closed steady at 03' ' c. This early strength was attributed mainly to the stead ier cables , advances In outside markets , the rather smaller movement , today's receipts falling short of the estimates some eighty-six cars nnd the bulletins from the spring wheat districts showing a light yield In that BCC- tlon. The early action of corn also helped to a minor extent. First cables ciuoted spot quiet and steady and futures dull to firm at unchanged prices. The rather liberal exports was something of a factor and aided the ad vance. Toledo reported the loading of an other small boat with wheat to be shipped tc this market , and this , with the prospect of more favorable weather , caused the dcclJno In the latter part of the sestrton. Opening trades In corn were nt from Vic to % c advance , at 41140 for September , and , after selling up a fraction more , cased off Jrom % c to l',4c , rallied Vic , declined % c nnd closed at 43UC. The feeling at the start Was decidedly stronger , vlth the count y buy ing freely , receivers und commission houses kclnc on the buying side , nnd the weather was dry and hot all through the middle and western statis. The price held fairly steady until the prediction was announced for rain In Iowa nnd Nebraska , when the price re ceded sharply. Oats were firm early on good buying and unfavorable crop reports , but weakened later with wheat nnd corn. The range wns V4c lor September. Provisions were very dull , with no sales In pork. The market was firm on scarce offerIngs - Ings and light receipts of products. Com pared with Inst night , September lard Is 2Vio blghcr nnd September ribs Cc higher. Freight rates nre abatable at % c for wheat or corn to Port Huron or Uuffalo. Estimates for tomorrow : Wheat , 45 cars ; corn , 2CO cars ; oats , 140 cars , hogs , 27,000 bead.

The mnikot on old beans Is very firm nnd stocks of gooil hand-picked navy very llKht. It looks now as If home grown cabbage would not be very plenty this season. Tomatoes from the mutli are very plenty and the market Is full of them.

The nuctlon sale of fruit announced for today did nol come off , owing to the cars not arriving In time. There will be a vale an Thursday ut 11 o'clock of peaches and plums. Tin ; IlurllnRtnn Gazette , speaking of the grape crop , says that some growcis talk dlscourug- Ingly. A grower paid that his grapes were doing finely until about ten days ago they were at tacked by u mould , which Is going to spjll his crop. It Is not probnble that this mould Is general among grapes of this country. In llur- llngton und vicinity the grape prospect Is excel lent. Reports from elsewhere arc bright. The Nauvoo Hustler , In speaking of the grape pros- peois of that locality , says : "The yield will be Immense If good fortune smiles on the vlntnetH from now on. The. acreage of grapes continues to grow , and this yiar , ns usual , thousands of gallons of wine will be manufactured to gladden the heart of man. " The Glacier , published at Hood River , the principal strawberry prcduclng sectljii of Oiegon , say * Hint It will not do to put all of one's cgg.s In one basket bn been thoroughly demonstrated by the berry crop this neusont With thousands of crates ripe , the ublllty l.i reach n markcl Is , without any fault of ours , suddenly taken uway , The Ktrawberry ciop has been the ptlnclpal one of this section , nnd while It will not only hold ltn present yield , but will double and trtble It , It will In u year or two become of secondary Im portance. Prunes , peaches , cherries nnd small fruits generally me n necessity to Hie fiuil gr.nvfr , because they furnish him with money eaily In the season , ns well ns early In his bus iness. They uie a means lo nil end , furnishing money to support the family and to Improve the fauns. They all bear one fatal objection as a crop to be relied upon , and that Is the absolute necesfllly of tlndlng a market for them ns soon us they nre ripe. This may not be true of the prune , but for It the same condition exists It must be taken care of nl once when ripe. The fruit of Hood River , the one that IH to make her famous ns well as prosperous. Is the winter apple. Thai can be kept.

NI3W YOHK , July 25. The result of to day's trading on the Stock exchange has been the establishment ot a lower ranga ot values In the greater portion of the shares traded In , the only prominent exceptions belnK Sugar and Iowa Central preferred , both of which are 1 per cent higher than at close yesterday. The volume cf business wan light , but was better distributed than ual , with Sugar In the lead , St. Paul , | Distilling , Chicago dug , llurllngton & Qulncy and Missouri Pacific coming next In the Ilia transactions. In no other stock did the < sales exceed 8,800. Lontlcn waj a email buyer of St. Paul In the early dealings and later sold A few hundred shires of that itock , but was not In the market otherwise. In the Sugar pool there was Jubilation over the failure of yesterday's senatorial democratic caucus to reach n compromlRC. Thcro wat good buying at the opening , and on advance was made before 10:15. : Wash ington advices to the effect that another conference was on today , which wn likely to bring about some agreement , checked the purchasing movement In the shires and In duced sales , under which the entire Im provement was lost before 11 o'clock. Dur ing the rest of the day the stcckva er ratic , moving within a narrow range , but making gains , which at the close reached 1 per cent , Reports of Injury lo the corn crop by excessive hot weather depressed the grangers , all of which clcscd nt the lowest prices of the day , making losses of 1 per cent In Hock Island , % per cent In St. Paul and Ilurllnglon & Qulncy and Vi per cent In Northwestern. The question was raised as to Die payment of a dividend by the Hock Island , and Ihe bears are now niicsllotilns whether St. PC ill and llurllngton will pay dividends at the regular rates. D stilling rose % per cent In the opening dealings , but the rise hrcuglit out large offer.ngn , which forced i'l e prlco down Hi per cent , with a final rally of Vi per cent. Compared with yc'tcrday's closing quotations the last prices mmlo today show declines ranging from ' ,6 to 1 per cent. The railway and miscellaneous bond market was generally weak and slow. The Evening Post's London cablegram says : The settlement today was favored by money borrowed at H4 per cent per annum , _ but this furnished no itlmulus to speculation. 'Americans were flat. Indignation Is ex pressed at the delay In giving out Little's report on Atchlson affairs and also that at tempts were made to cover up the account ing irrcgtilar.tles of the past years. High clas < Investments are coming forward more plentifully. Hoar's brewery Issue came out today for over 1,000,000. The Evening Post says : There was some rather determined selling of the granger Flocks today and It continued nt Intervals throughout the day. As usual , the order * tu sell came wholly from professional spec ulator * , and the "argument" of ruin Im- 'pcndlng over the corn crop , through the high temperature In the Interior , was in- diiHtrlously ned.

This has been another day of quite largo receipts. The arrivals were 3,000 cattle , 11,700 hogs and 67 she-p , as against 2,623 cattle , 0,814 hogs nnd 106 sheep onVed - nesduy of last week. For the week thug fur there Imve been rcclved 6,150 cattle , 27,800 hogs nnd 1,116 sheep , as against 4,21S cattle , 18,259 hogs nnd 1,888 sheep for tha corresponding spending days of last week. From this It will be noted that the receipts of cattle and hogs this week are considerably Inrger thnn they were last week , CATTLE There was qulto n sprinkling of good to choice corn fed beeves In the ynrds today. The local packers wanted n few cattle , but they were about the only buyers , the shippers and export men holding off. The market generally was about lOo lower , unless It might be on something that wns especially desirable , such ns the handy fnt little cattle. One bunch of cattle weigh ing 1,132 pounds brought $4.25 , which wns the top price paid during the day. A largo proportion of the sales of dressed beef cat tle were made nt $4 to $4.20. There was considerable Inquiry for choice cows nnd heifers , but not mnny were to be found In the yards. The offerings consisted , as has been the rule lately , of common grassy stuff , for which the demand Is light and prices extremely low. The general innrket wns slow. A load or two of cows sold ns high as $2.30 , but the most of the sales wcro made at $1.25 to $2. Heifers sold largely at $1.35 to $2.15. The situation In stackers and feeders Is becoming worse. The continued dry weather In the country , which has ruined the pastures and hay crop and Is.threateiiing to reduce the yield of corn , tins'cut oft the demand for this class of cattle 'from the country , nnd It would Eccm ns If the market Is In nbout as bad condition as possible. Prices hnvet been so low that It did not seem as If they were going much lower from day to day , during the past few days. At the same time dealers who have been hojdlng cattle but a short time can figure out a drop of 25o In a very short time. In spile of the poor condition of the market quite n string of cattle changed hands today , $2.80 being paid for two or three loads. A large proportion of the fair to good feeders brought $2.25 to $2.40. Representative sales : DHESSED nEir. No. Av. I'r. , Av. Pr. .
