CHICAGO , Aug. 7. It was a wildly bullish
Bcsston In all the grain markets and heavy
nddtlons ! were made to prices. Corn led.
en It has been doing of late , nnd sold for
September as high as COc per bushel when
Wheat was still being quoted at 6fic. It closed
nt 59l4c , or C&c above Its value at the cor
responding time yesterday. May corn rested
With n gain of 6c. Wheat caught the
fever when the session was about half over
nnd gained 2c , winding up with 2'Ac to
the good. Oats rose from 2ic to 3c nnd
provisions also made a handsome advance.
Wheat was more active within a higher
range. The feeling developed was stronger ,
being Influenced altogether , as was the case
yesterday , by the action of corn , the price
being helped and sustained by the course
of that cereal. Opening trades were nt from
% c to Ic advance and soon sold up lc
more under an urgent demand , eased off from
1C to Hie , rallied 2c , changed some , ruled
etcady nnd closed with September at G7H-
There was not much news In the market ,
the on passage figures showed an Increase
of 072,000 bushels and early public cables
Were n little steadier. Private cables quoted
Liverpool quiet , rather steadier and the
weather showery , with shipments Increas
ing , and the closing very firm on bad
we.ither.belng 3d up. The wet weather abroad
was about the only new feature. Local receipts
and the estimate
ceipts were about ns expected
mate for tomorrow , still large , at 760 cars.
Outside markets were all higher. llecelpts
In the northwest were smaller.
In corn there was an unusually heavy
trade and nn active , nervous , unsettled mar
ket , with prices very Irregular. Fluctuations
Were covered at from 4c to Cc range
nnd changed suddenly nnd frequently within
these limits. The opening was most excited
nnd wild , all kinds of prices being paid ,
values varying from 2c to 3c at the same time
In different parts of the crowd. It was the
most excited opening In over a
year and with few exceptions th most
Irregular on record. Local shorts evidently
began tb realize the seriousness of their
position and many hastened to provide for
outstanding contracts at the tap of the bell
today. Initial transactions were at from lc
to l 4c above the final figures of yesterday
nnd Instantly sold to COo for September and
C9c for May , back to CCc and 52'/Ac ' respec
tively , all within the'first 15 minutes of the
session. Prices afterwards advanced Uic ,
cased off V4c , rallied from 2l c to 2c ,
changed some , and closed with September at
C9' c. There was no rain In the corn belt ,
outside of a little at Valentine , Neb. , and
temperatures were all considerably higher.
Tlio fact that the citizens of Nebraska have
petitioned the governor for aid for the
Growers In the central part of that state
Whose crop was ruined by the drouth con
firms the reports of damage from that sec
tion , and the trade Is beginning to give
advices from the west more serious consid
eration. The above news was among the
many factors which had a good deal to do
with today's sudden and sharp bulge. There
were all kinds of orders executed at the
Etart , stop loss orders being numerous , many
of which could not be executed at anything
like the limits given. Shorls , In their fran
tic efforts to cover and In the absence of
offerings , bid the price up 2c at a Jump , the
price of September ten minutes after the
opening being at CSc and COc at
the same time. During the excitement the
trade centered largely In May and Septem
ber and It was most difficult to trade In any
of the other deliveries , October and De
cember for some minutes after the market
opened had subsided somewhat. The local
forecast did not predict any moisture for
cither Iowa or Illinois , but the signal service
nt Washington predicts showers for Ne
braska and for Iowa tonight , also showers
Wednesday. ' The prediction caused prices to
hold n while , but did not last long and soon
nflcrwards again soared higher. There was
Borne local realizing on the advance , but
Interior longs In most Instances are still
holding out. Outside markets were all up.
New York advancing from 3'X-c to 4c nnd
St. Louis from 4c to 4V4c. Cables came In
with 2d advance on both spot and futures.
Oats wore active and excited , with a wild
rush at the opening to buy. The market de
rived all Its strength from the advance in
corn. The range for September was 2c.
Provisions were more active and stronger
on the bulge In corn. A reaction In the
middle of the session was overcome by good
demand and the finish was near the top
Compared with last night , September pork
Is 17'/ic higher , September lard 12Vfcc higher
nnd September ribs lOc up.
The leading futures ranged as follows ;

The market on butter nnd cess did not show
much change yesterday , prices remaining about
steady.
The poultry market was very slow and the de
mand for both old fowls nnd spring chickens
wns limited. The mniket nppe.irs to be RUtti" !
with dueks. Quito n number of spring ducks
ha\e been nrrlvlng , but they are slow ns well
ns old ducks. The dressers are not trying to
buy , ns they nil have sonm on hand , nnd find It
hard work lo move them. The reports of tin-
rapid Inerons" In the manufacture nnd consump
tion of oleomargarine are somewhat dlscouintin
lo Ihe butter men , who have ppint both time
and money 1n lightlm ; that commodity. In spite
nf dull times , when almost every other line of
manufactnto lias been decreasing Its output , the
manufacture ! of butterlne has been Increasing
steadily , ns Is shown by the Internal revenue
collections , which are ns follows :
Fiscal year Fiscal year
ending June 30 ending June 30
H87 . J723.9IS 1891 . $1,077,1121
1SS8 . 801,139 1892 . 1,2CG,126
18S9 . S94..M7 li-93 . 1,670,643
1890 . 786,291 1894 . 1,723,483
The Increase during the past fiscal year over
that preceding has been more than $50,000 , nnd
mo ! c than $100,000 ns compared with the largest
previous jenr , while nearly all other sources
of public revenue have shown n considerable
decline.
The collections of olcomarjrarlno tax Indi
cate nn Increase In the nveragu monthly pj-o-
ducta for domestic consumption , nnd the reports
of exports have nlrendy shown that these were
larger thnn for any previous year. Tlie nverairo
monthly production repotted by the government
has risen from 2SOO.OOO pounds for the years 1SS7
to 1S90 to inoie than 5,600.000 pounds per month
during tlie fiscal years 15,93 , and 1S9I , or more
than double the amount of the earlier years.
The expnils of olcoinarp.il Ine nnd oleo oil from
tills country for the past fiscal year , us com
pared with those preceding , have been ns fol
lows :
Oleomargarine. Oleo oil.

The past fiscal year has therefore been the
banner year in production nnd exportation of
oleomargarine , nnd this has been In n time of
depression throughout the world , and when
there has been n very general demand for the
cheapest forms of food products.
The ndvnnce In the price of Imy Ifas produced
a falling off In the demand , but stocks In the
hnnd.H of both denlcis and consumers are light.

NBW YOUK , Aug. 7. Speculntlon cfli the
Stock exchange was not very ncllvo at any
period of the day , but It was during the first
and last hours of business that the trading
was mainly done , the market being decidedly
stagnant In the Interim. After a steady
opening , except for Sugar and Northwest
ern , which were down ? i and l& per cent re
spectively , prices began to move upward ,
llurllngton & Qulncy alone not participating
In the rise. A pressure to KCll was notice-
nljlo In this stock and the sales were henvy
and mostly for the short account , n renewal
of the rumors that the next dividend would
bo scaled encouraging the bear clique to
further efforts to depress the property. A
gain of 14 per cent had boon niado In the
shares In the opening trading and the sellIng -
Ing caused a loss of % per cent to 70 In
the llrst quarter of an hour , and up to noon
the price lluctuated between that nnd 70 % .
During the aftcrnon the short Interest be
gan to cover , with the result of causing an
appreciation In the values of shares , which
at the close had reacted Hi per cent from
the low point of the morning nnd % per cent
above last night's closing price. Sugar quick
ly recovered the early loss , but was not
prominent In the dealings during the fore
noon and not until In the afternoon did It
take a leading place In the trading. Thcro
had bceti a qu'ct ' advance In progress , hut
about 2 o'clock the bull clique. In the stock ,
taking advantage of the geheral strength
of the market , rushed the stock up to 107U ,
a gain of 2Vi per cent on the opening. Re
alizing calcs subsequently caused a reaction
of % per cent , followed by a full recovery
and a final recession of H per cent , making
the gain on the day 1 % per cent. The buyIng -
Ing In Sugar which started the upward turn
was on Washington orders , but was not ac
companied , as Is usually the case , by favor
able tariff rumors. In fact there was little ,
If any , street reports on the sugar schedule
today , hut the good buying In the stock of
the trust by the Washington houses brought
the traders Into the market as purchasers.
Distillers was sold down 1 % per cent dur
ing the morning on the belief that the tariff
bill would fall and the trust would lese
thereby the advantage to be gained by the
proposed Increase In the spirits tax. Mod
erate buying nt the decline resulted In a
rally of % per cent. The publication of the
Juno report of St. Paul , which showed but a
small loss In the net earnings , was the
means of attracting buyers to the shares ,
which , after an opening loss of VB per cent ,
rose % per cent , closing nt the best point
touched. Rock Island and Northwestern
each gained ' /4 per cent on the day. The
general market was In the main firm and
closed % to 1 per cent higher than yester
day.
day.The bond market was easy In the early
dealings , but closed firmer.
The Evening Post's London cable says :
The stock markets were quiet today after
the holiday , but cheerful In tone , with good
Investment buying. Americans were strong ,
except Atchlson , which was sold from Am
sterdam. Prices finished a shade under the
best. Consols sold at 102V4. The unpre-
cedentedly cheap money Is likely to continue
for the remainder of the year. Although
silver Is quoted lower , the tone Is really
very strong. China Is buying largely , and
for far-ahead delivery. It Is believed that
silver will possibly see a good rise , as India
Is also buying.
The Evening Post says : Beginning very
dull , today's stock market seemed In the
afternoon to move solely on the basis of a
sudden awakening of speculative sentiment.
Burlington and Hock Island stocks rose rapIdly -
Idly , along with the advice In corn , and St.
Paul with the advance In wheat. The sudden -
don upward rush of Sugar certificates In
the closing Jiour was probably a mere effort
to take advantage of the prevailing senti
ment. In short , this was one of those occa
sions , but not unprecedented , when specu
lative fever everywhere seems to run In
ono direction.

on the market today and In addition there

HOGS While there was a heavy falling
off In the receipts of hogs ns compared with
Tuesday of last week , there was a very fair
average run. There were as usual of late
a good many rough hogs and pigs from the
nirnt section of the state , but the average
quality Is a llttlo better than It was a week
ago. The demand was pretty fair , both
ocal packers and shippers ! being liberal
> uyors. On the best heavy and butcher
weight hogs the market was a llttlo
stronger , while on the common loads prices
.vera uneven , and , If anything , lower. The
market opened active and * cased off later , but
revived again before the close. The bulk
of the good hogs sold at J4.85 to $5. with a
S5.05 top. Representative sales :

DICS MOINKS. Aug. 7.-fpeclal ( Telegram
to The llee. ) The crop bureau , basing Its
estlmnlcs upon reports of nearly 1,000 ob
servers M'iitteiod In every county In the
state , places the condition of the corn crop
at10 per cent. Many of these reports Unto
back to the 1st of August. Slure then sup
plemental reports have been received fnun
many counties which lower the per cent ,
although they have not yet bei-n fiirmulnted
hy the bureau. The past two days the
director of the crop service regards as very
Important , and they have tended to lower
the condition In nearly nil parts of the
stale. A low barometer Is ii"\v moving
down from the northwest , with Indications
for Increasing cloudiness , nnd a cool wave
Is back of ll. Thin Is expected to relieve
the situation someuhat , as crops me not In
condition to wlthsland extu-me beat , such
as ranged over the stale generally today.
The weather bureau Issued tonight the fol
lowing monthly report for August 1 :
K.stlmnlcs of erop conditions and yield
hiive been received from over SCO county
correspondents , representing every county
In the stale. They were generally mailed
on or before August 1 , at n time- when
local showers and weather conditions gave
promise of an early breaking of the drouth
which bad prevailed with great severity
thioughout tlie months of Juno and July.
The reports were based upon the prospect of
speedy irllef , which has not been realized.
In fact , theie has been a steady decline In
the condition of all unharve.sted crops In
the largei part of the slate .since August 1.
The reports placed the average condition of
crops as follows :
Corn , -SO per cent : flax , 53 ; millet , 3S ; broom
corn , 17 ; sorghum , 51 ; Irish potatoes , : ! 7 ;
sweet potatoes , -10 ; apples. OS ; plums , CS ;
grapes , f > 7. Threshing returns and estimates
show the following average yield of har
vested crops : Winter wheat , IS ; spring
wheat , II ; rye , 17 ; oats , 25 bushels per acre.
If these llgures are suslalned by the Until
returns this state will have over 100,000,000
bushels of oats of good cpuallty and ll.OOO.OW )
bushels of wheat.

SPIUNC.KIHLU , 111. , Aug. 7.-The weekly
crop bulletin Issued by the Illinois weather'
service for the week ending August 0 says :
The temperature of the past seven days has
been below the normal throughout the state.
The percentage of sunshine was excessive.
The rainfall , which was principally In the
form of badly distributed showers , very
heavy In some sections , wns below n sea
sonable average. In ninny localities no
r.iln fell. Jn the northern division , whcro
rain fell , corn Is reported benefited , nnd
pome improvement reported In ( lie condition.
The drouth still continues in many divi
sions of this couiily , though broken to an
extent In some localities. While there are
many sections where the drouth still con
tinues where the outlook Is unfavorable ,
the ralus of this week have greatly bene
fited the crop , and the outlook at present
Is more encouraging. On the bottoms this
crop Is holding Its own nnd will yield well
generally. Chinch bugs are doing dam
age In many localities. Hall and wind ,
which prevailed during the week , Injured
the crop In some sections. Threshing of
uats anil wheat Is still progressing. A de-
i-lr.ed Improvement Is reported In the con-
[ llllon of pnslures where rain fell. The
fruit crop will be light. fJardens have also
revived and are Improving slowly.
Potatoes will vlcld less than wnu antici
pated. Where the ground Is In good con-
llllou , plowing for winter wheat Is In pro
gress. More raln''ls needed , especially In
: hc extreme northern and southern counties.
