CHICAGO , July SO. A condition ot soft
ness In wheat today acquired from last
night's rnln was hardened by reports of
front In the northwest. September closed
1-SSVJc lower nnd December lost 1-Sc. Corn
left oft unchanged. Oats advanced 1-Sc.
Tork quiet and 7',4c higher : lard nnd ribs
are u ZHTJKc.
The lower temDeraluro In the spring
wheat territory following last night's rnln ,
together with the early decline In corn ,
Htarted wheat weak. Business during the
llrst part of the session wna dull nnd the
undertone bearish. The Argument was
urged that our export surplus would ho of
such magnitude nnd the foreign demand so
restricted that It was likely to glut the
market nnd lower prices would bo Inevita
ble. Another factor which served to weaken
bull confidence was Hroomhall's IlfiureM
showing the world'w wheat crop this year
likely to bo 120OW,000 bushels nbovo require
ments. On this sort of recoiling September ,
which opened 'fcc lower nt ti7 T-KliCSc , sold
oft at CV4c. Then cnmo a reaction on the
nnnouncerncnt of the signal service bureau
of the probulilllty of frusta tonight In thu
northern sections of the wheat belt. In ad
dition to the frost predictions thu bulls got
noino encouragement from the primary
nmrkct receipts of new wheat being too
light to Injuriously nffect thu prlnu of the
cash article. There was also a report that
crops abroad were less favorable , as severe
Htorms In Hungary had damaged the crops
there from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 bushels. Chicago
cage received eighty-seven cars , elghty-
thrco of which w ro now. Minneapolis nnd
Dulutlt got sixty carloads , compared with
2DS a year ago. Thu total receipts at thu
principal primary western markets wer
411,000 bu. , ngulnst 498,000 bit. thu similar day
of last year. The Atlantic port clearances
of wheat and Hour equaled 1C2.000 bu. Sep
tember opened HO down ut 07 7-8 < ft < Bc , weak
ened to G7',4c , rallied to CSViflGS G-8c , then
reacted to GSVlc bid nt the close. December
Blurted 3-8fi5-8c ( lower at G7 7-SffCS 1-Sc , sold
off to 07 G-Sc , tip to GSV6c , then down to
US ! t-8c asked , thu closing price.
Every commission hotlso appeared to
liavo soiling ordern for corn nt the opening
nnd the lower prices trading commenced
with appeared also to bring numerous stop-
Iqss orders on the market. Rnln throughout
11 large occtlon of the western corn country
was the cnuso of the weakness * nt the stnrt.
This was all changed later , however , when
the weather bureau's report of possible
light frosts In northern sections of the corn
belt was received. The ncwn resulted In
the bull crowd taking on extensive lines
and holders of "puts" bought freely. It did
not take long with this buying to absorb
the offerings anil as sellers gradually drew
out the market developed an advancing
tendency. September opened nt 32iiff33c ,
Bold up gradually to 33 G-S f33ic , then re
acted to : V4o bid , the cloning Hgure.
Oats held steady on good buying by com-
mfcHlon houses and responded promptly
when corn rallied. September began l-RIi )
> , ic lower at ID 3-8 < fJ19l4c. sold up to 194lJ >
19 7-Sc , then settled back to 19c at the
close.
Provisions had a weak start on account
of lower quotntlons for hogs nnd the de-
cllno In corn. Offerings were , however ,
email , and very little buying sulllced to
take all that was for sale and as a-result
the decline that Inaugurated the day's bus
iness was easily overcome.There was ru
mors of a largo government contract for
cured moats. September pork began 2V4Q5c
lower nt $9.82 > / ? ! < < f9.S5 , rose to $3.97V5 , then
down to $9.93 , the closing llgure. The range
In lard and ribs was narrow.

NEW YORK , July 20.-Thc slight Increase
In the volume of dealings In stocks today
would by no means warrant the term ani

business In Wall slrect Is not entirely dead.
Any striking development In the situation
would lead tn an outbreak of activity In
sueculatlon. The morning advance was oc
casioned by nothing more than the cover
ing of short contracts put out by the small
traders yesterday.
The assertion that the Madrid cabinet had
determined upon negotiations for peace was
used to advance prices and It was rather
significant that they held firm In spite of
the demonstrated unreliability of the re
port nnd the decline In Spanish 4s In Lon
don and Paris. Reassuring olllclal utter
ances from Washington regarding tlm yel
low fever situation and from the Metro
politan Street railway tiulhorltles regardIng -
Ing the effect of the temporary suspension
of a part of their lines pending recon
struction removed the principal olomentR
of yesterday's uneasiness. The foreign
crop prospects nro scanned with the utinuxt
attention , as the prlco for our surplus
brcadstuffs IH felt to be the pivot of the
situation. The ruling price of cash wheat
Is almost on u parity with that of a year
ago. But at that time exporters were do-
Ing a hand-to-mouth business because of
what they regarded as the prohibitive price
of wheat. Today the farmers nro holding
back the new crop through a feeling of
dissatisfaction at the price ottered. The
foreign exchange market Is also showing
the effect of grain bills coming forward
and Is heavy In tone and drooping toward
the gold Import point after net Imports of
cold for the year of about $100.000,000. New
York banks continue to lose to the sub-
treasury and New York exchange at Chicago
cage today fell' to 20c discount. But money
continues easy and rates for time money
are quotably lower.
The demand for Denver & Qulf Ists on
reorganization prospects continued today
and there was a distinct awakening of ac
tivity In some of the other speculative
bonds which moved so conspicuously last
week. Prices in a number of other cases
are notably higher. Total sales. $2,600,000.
The new government 3s , when Issued ,
were In strong demand today and 103 5-8

The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram says : "Tho stock markets here
remain dull , the only feature being a sharp
recovery In Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunk , said to be on a reported adjustment
ot the rate war , but as stated In these dis
patches yesterday the market was ripe for
an upturn. Americans opened dull , rallied

Totals 2,534 10,067
AH told there were 248 cars of stock In the
yards today , as against 270 yesterday , 214
u week ago , 152 two weeks ago and 321 three
weeks ago. The fulling off In the total to
day was due In large part to the small
cattle run.
CATTLK For a AVcdnesday the receipts
of cattle were unusually small , only 99 cars
being reported In the yards. Included in
that number there were quite a good many
western grangers , BO that the offerings of
good dry lot cattle were by no means
large. Desirable klndg of fat cattle were in
active demand at just about yesterday's
prices. Among the offerings were some
right good stuff , n bunch of Polled Angus
Eolllng at $5.15 , and other cattle bringing
15.10. The bulk of the cornfeds sold at
I4.75p4.90. Common kinds of cattle were
weak and some heavy cornfod westerns sold
lOc lower than some of thu same cattle
brought last week , buyers claiming that
they were too heavy.
The most of the cows on sale were grass
westerns and the market was reasonably
active at steady prices. Quite a string of
westerns brought 3.80. Dry lot stuff was
In good demand and Just as high as ever , a
bunch of choice heifers selling up to $4.C5.
Fat bulls wore rather slow.
The fresh arrivals of stackers and feed
ers were very light , but the feeder division
was well supplied with all kinds held over
by speculators from yesterday and the day
before. The market is very unsatisfactory
to holders. The country demand Is light
and no one appears to be ready to buy
cattle Just yet. When they do talk buy
they want them way lower and prices are
pretty nearly , If not fully , as low as they
have been any time this year to date. As
hinted yesterday , the disposition of buyers
appears to bo to go slow while dry weather
lasts. Representative sales :

HOGS Thu yards were full of hogs to
day , the fresh receipts numbering H'J cars ,
which was the largest number reported in
slncu the last week In June. That Is a
pretty good nlzed run for this market and
there were only three days In June , two In
May and one In April when the receipts
were larger than they were today. The
market opened lower under the Influence
of a lower clos In the provision market
yesterday and liberal receipts at lending
inarkut points this morning. The demand
at this point , however , was so active that
buyers did not succeed In obtaining a very
large concession. The general market could
only bo quoted n phadu to 5c lower than
yesterday's general market. The hogs
Bold at I3.85fl-3.90 , ns against $3.85 3.93 yes
terday. The big string today was at $3.85 ,
while the most popular prlco yesterday was
$3,90. As will be noted from thu table of
uvcragt-a at head of column , the average
of all the sales was less than Gc. The de
mand was good ut prevailing prices and
It was not long until thu great bulk of nil
the hogH had changed hands. After the
more urgent orders were about all filled the
laet ten to twenty loads did not sell quite
so briskly , the close of the market being
at thu low point of the day that Is , Gc
lower than yesterday. Even after today'u
decline the market Is still Do higher than
It wan at the opening of the week. Repre

yards today to make any test of the mar

for desirable muttons and It would be safe
to say that anything answering to that
description would have sold at strong
prices today. The string of Wyoming feed

Statement * nt Dliumtlnrnctloii
rrexlilriit'ii Tnrtlen MUlriidlnu ;
WASHINGTON , July 20. Scnor qucsnda
and other representatives ot the Cuban
Junta have been In consultation with oin-
clnls of tUo War \lcpartmcnt today. The
United States odlclnls were assured that
there was no dissatisfaction with the man
agement ot affairs In Cuba so far as the
Cuban representatives were concerned and
that It General Garcia nnd other Cubans
operating about Santiago wore not In har
mony with the United States authorities
there It arose from a misunderstanding of
the president's proclamation ot the United
States government In thepremises. .
The Cubans at Santiago , it was stated ,
probably thought the action of General
Shnftcr mcnnt the continuation of Spanish
rule mid Spanish authority. It being well
understood hero that such was not the case ,
It was the belief ot the Cuban representa
tives that when the matter wns made plain
to the Cuban oillcora In the Held they would
acquiesce In the action of the United States
and render the United States army support.
The Cubans advised the war ofllclals that
nothing was further from their dcslrwi Hum
n rupture with the United States forces and
authority. It also became known that the
Junta had sent dispatches to General Garcia |
and other Cuban offlccra that their course f
nt Santiago was not approved by the Junta
and It persisted In would result in serious
Injury to the Cubans. It Is believed that the V
representations made will bring about a F
better understanding between the Cuban
offlcers and the Americans. The opinion was / .j
expressed nt the War department that the i V
better class of Cubans In the Island will \ f' I
have no sympathy with those who would f '
bring about trouble , but that It Is the lower
and vicious classes who deslro to loot nnd
plunder the city. 1
