UNLOADING ON BEARISH CROP REPORTS

CHICAGO , Aug. K.-Corn was tlio leader
today. Holders of the coarse grain un
loaded on n largo scale. A loss of Hie a
bushel followed. The unloading was the
result of bearish crop reports. Wheat was
weak In sympathy. September closed ' , i
lower and December lost % c. Oats declined
* , iW-rsC. Pork Is down 7H1- , lard 12'/ac and
rlbn 7&S10C.
Conditions have been propitious for n re
covery from the ( severe setback the corn
crop suffered In consequence of the late
drouth and the present outlook was tiald
to bo vastly moro nsnurlng. The start was
fairly steady at about the previous day's
closing figures , but the strength did not last
long. Very noon It brcamn apparent that
big lines of long corn was for wale and
that brought out smaller lots In large num
bers. At every slight reaction during tha
nenslon offerings overwhelmed the buyers ,
o that at last shorts who hml been willing
to take moderate profits held of * and de
prived Hellers of their chief customers. The
market continued to decline right up to the
close. September opened unchanged at
M'.ijr , declined to .llUtt-ll'.ic , and closed nt
31ic ! hid. Wheat was momentarily weak at
the opening and then turned strong. The
ntnrt for September was at from 63Uc to
G5'4CiG5Kc , compared with 63ic bid at the
close yesterday.
In the course of the next hour's trading
It rose to G5c and turned down again from
that point on account of weakness that be
gan to develop In corn. The reports of
wheat were so small that short sales for
September seemed risky and extremely so
In connection with the fact that nt tliu
name tlmo that September was worth only
Mi'.ic ' In the pit , No. 2 red winter was i.old
for shipments at 70-Kc In store. The early
advance to Cj'ic for September was moro
the result of light offerings than heavy pur
chases and the buying was for the most
part to cover wheat previously Bold short.
Home buying was probably done for the
long account , but there being no Moses In
the pit to lead the bulls from the bondage
In which they were being held by the gen
erally prevailing bearish sentiment , tnelr
buying naturally lacked the enthusiasm
necessary to badly frighten the long-stay
ing bears Chicago lecclved 91 cars , of
which only one car was of contract grade.
A year ago 1S.1 carloads were received here.
The total quantity nt the principal western
primary markets was 49S.COO bu. , against
M3.000 bu. last year. Minneapolis and Duluth -
luth reported 181 cars , against 85 the cor
responding day of the week before and 1S4
the same day the previous year. That slight
Increase In the northwest was the only
point In the statistics of the day's move
ment that the bears could claim In their
favor , but they took more comfort from It
than the bulls did from all the rest. The
clearances from Atlantic and Gulf ports
vcro heavy , aggregating 727,000 bushels In
whuat and Hour , but even that strong fca-
turo failed of having moro than momentary
effect. Antwerp reported a decline there
of 37V4 centimes , or 2c a bushel for Amer
ican red. That was the cause of one of
the many downward reactions here. Sep
tember opened unchanged to ifcc lower at
KiViQGSi ; ? , advanced to Cr > 7ic , declined to
fi.Vjic , rose again to C5ic , after that worked
Hlnwly down to C5Vic , rose once moro to
Ki > e , nnd became weak again , selling at
C.VilGS'Jc , and closed nt CMc. December
started Hfi'/Sc down at Cl'.ic , sold up to
C3c. nnd was closely hugging the f 3c mark
toward the end. but finally dropped to 62ic
nnd closed at C2ii5f62:4c. :
Oats were weak nnd relatively stronger
than corn , although the weakness In that
market had a depressing Influence. Ek > -
vator people sold freely of September and
the American Cereal company bought heav
ily of May. September started unchanged
to } Bc higher at 20'i.e , firmed up to 20iAifi >
. . . then reacted to 20e ! ! bid. the closing
lirlco.
Provisions wcro generally easy , offerings
being in excess of the demand. The selling
was duo to yellow fever tall : September
pork opened fie lower at Sf.S,1 ; . s ld at JS.9.i1 , ' .

STOCKS AJiD I1OXDS.
In Speculation on
Caaaed by Itnrlliiicton Dividend.
NEW YORK. Aug. 17-Tho feature of the
( my In the stock market was the action of
the. directors of the Chicago , Burlington &
Qulncy In advancing the quarterly dividend
on the stock to the C per cent rate.
Although this action has been rumored
nnd hnn been Industriously discounted In
the advance of the stock for many days
past , and profits already taken on the ad
vance , the announcement today was met by
a furious outburst of speculation In that
and all the other granger stocks which car
ried the price of Burlington fully 3 points
over thn previous high level on the move
ment. The action of the directors Is ac
cepted ns Indicative of their belief In the
power of the property to maintain earnings
at last year's high level. Intimations are
given that the forthcoming statement of
July earnings will show last year's large
average maintained. The statement of St.
Paul for the second week In August Is cor
roborative of the confidence in the earning
power of the grangers. The Increase in
earnings over last year la f3G,213. nnd over
1892 the largest previous corresponding
week In the road's history the Increase Is
over fS.OOO. Such a. showing by the roads
affected by the present light movement of
grain Is convincing evidence of the largo
general traffic which the awakening of bus
iness Is bringing to the railroads. The re
newed impetus given to the advance In
prices was a natural consequence. The
Burlington news came on a yielding mar
ket , due to an enormous liquidation of
profits on the recent advance. This realiz
ing hod been going on over an hour to take
advantage of the very heavy outside de
mand for stocks and had resulted In the
marketing of upward of a third of n million
shares of stocks with only a fractional Im
pression on prices , which were , however ,
at the low point , with the exception of
some of the Industrials , notably Tobacco ,
Leather , Cotton , Oil , Rubber and stocks of
the Iron and steel companies. Burlington
bounded up from the low point nbout 5
points , St. Paul 3'/i nnd each stock In the
group advanced sharply.
After a period of a rather feverish fluctu
ation Mheso stocks settled down to a firm
and quiet tone near the top , while the ur
gent demand for Blocks went sweeping
through the list , advancing first one group
and then another. Scarcely a stock failed
to move , even the neglected and despised
coalers coming In for gains of 1 to 3 points.
The only exception to the strength were
the stocks advanced yesteiday nnd day be
fore , which were held back by profit-tak
ing. The Northern Paclllc and Union Pa
cific stocks were conspicuous examples. A
squeeze In shorts In Sugar and a shaking
out of weakly margined holdings In To
bacco wcro features of the Into trading.
Top prices were clipped by profit taking
bsforo the close In the majority of cases ,
but the closing was steady , only slightly
below the best , The casing of the sterling
exchange rat * was probably due to the
falling off of buying of stocks In London
for New York account. Sales for London
account In this market continued large , but
not so largo as yesterday. There was good
demand for bonds at higher prices. Total
sales. J4C5.00) .
United States 3s when Issued advanced
1-S In the bid price. Government bonds
were otherwise unchanged.
The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram says : The stock markers here
were quiet today but less firm. The feature
was the sharp fall In Spanish 4s on heavy
sales from Paris. An offered explanation
woo reported difficultly on the Paris
bourse , but well informed operators say
that this Is not so. The fall In Spanish
bonds was really not surprising , the won
der here being that the price has been so
good. The continued purchase of silver by
Spain , stimulated by ths new regulations
as to the note Issue of the Bank of Spain ,
naturally has a weakening effect on Span
ish exchange on London nnd this weakness
tends to react on Spanish stocks. Amer

BERLIN , Aug. 17. The bourse today was
Irregular , foundry shares relapsed sharply ,
thcugh coal shares were maintained and
business closed for the day with dullness
all around , owing largely to the terrible
heat.
PARIS , Aug. 17. The day opened quiet on
the bourse , but the decline In Spanish 4s
later weighed down the whole list. Spanish
4s were severely depressed by realizations ,
principally on London account , affecting all
Spanish securities. Brazilians were In good
demand. Rio tlntos started strong , but
closed easier. Delivers mines shares were
decidedly weak with continental sales.
Three per cent rentes , 103f 524c. ! Spanish 4s
closed nt 40.P5 , against 42.35 , the final price
yesterday.
LONDON , Aug. 17. The market for
American securities fluctuated somewhat
after a steady opening and declined on
operators taking profits. The closing tone
was dull and the demand generally light.

Condition of Wool Market.
BOSTON. Aug. 17. The American Wool
nnd Cotton Reporter says of the wool
trade : Taking thn market as a whole , the
situation Is very quiet. Everything now de
pends on the goods market , which still
falls to respond to expectations. The sales
this wfck may bo considered surprisingly
large In view of the talk of dull business ,
which tins been heard on every side. As a
matter of fact , however , the total has been
materially enhanced by a few large trans
actions.
In point of numbers the sales seem to be
increasing from week to week , but the
fragnii'iilarv character of the s.iles Is also
apparent. The sales of the week In Boston
amount to 2.025.000 pounds domestic nnd
Ml.OOO pounds foreign , making a total of 2-
5f.5.0iiO pounds against a total of 3ajJ,00 ( ) for
lh corresponding week last year. S.iles
nlnce January 1 , 1S9S. amount to 71.301,310
pounds , against 237,177,000 pounds at this
tlmo List year.

NEW YORK , Aus. 17. There Is no change
In the dry goods situation today. The de-
. inand for goods along regulrxr lines , In both
I cottons and woolens , is slow. There Is it
'
fair hhowlng of mall orders but In general
the trmllng has not been of a particularly
encouraging character. I'rlnt cloths are re
ported llrm In all grades. Extras are
quoted at 2o. Odd goods show a quiet mar
ket , with no changes in the trading worthy
of notice ; . Staple cottons nro dull. The
buying In local stores Is generally In small
lots as heretofore. Bleached goods show
little difference. Brown goods for domestic
consumption are very quiet. Export poods
continue active. 1'rlnts Bhow a dull day's

CATTLE As was the case yesterday the
general cattle market was In very satis
factory condition and was devoid of any
very marked changes.
There were in the neighborhood of fifteen
loads of native cattle on sale this morning
and under the influence of a good local de
mand the pens were soon cleared at just
about steady prices. Among the offerings
was one bunch of very prime corn-fed
Polled Angus which brought J5.50 , the best
cattle and the best price of the season to
date. That brought the top price here
within lOc of the top reported by Chicago.
Other good beeves brought $5.1565.10.
About twenty loads constituted the sup
ply of western beef steers , and as was the
case wl'h the natives they brought steady
prices , und the market was fairly active ,
so that everything changed hands early In
the morning. Wyoming-Texas steers
brought $4.1004.15 and native Wyomlngs
$4.35.
The supply of cow stuff was not large ,
only about fifteen to twenty loads being
offered for sale. The average quality was
not ns good as on many days , there being
a large proportion of medium to common
stuff. The market on good kinds was steady
with yesterday , some westerns selling up
to $3. IK ) . The medium nnd common grades ,
that Is , such as have been selling at from
$3.50 down , were slow and lower , nnd It was
late Ltfore a clearance of that kind of
stuff was made. Hulls , calves , etc. , sold at
steady prices.
It looked very much as If feeders ought
to have been lower , as there were quite a.
good many fresh receipts , many of them
on the commonlsh order nnd at the same
tlmo speculators had a rood many on hand
held over from yesterday. However they
did not sell any lower , but on the contrary
wcro active and steady , and the supply In
first hands was soon pretty well exhausted
Choice yearling stuff Is selling out of sight.

HOGS Today's market opened nbout
where It left off last night , or 2iiW3c lower
than yesterday's general market. Light
hogs , somewhat on the trashy order , sold
at 3,7i > , with pigs nnd common stuff still
lower. Good medium loads brought f3.72'4 '
SfS.75 , ns against IJ.77'4ti3.M ) yesterday.
Prime heavy brought J3.MW3.S2'-4 , the same
kind selling yesterday at fJ.S2 < y < l.1.S5. To a
very great extent It was n $3.75 market.
The early market was active at the prices
noted above und It was not long before
seventy-live Inuds had changed hands.
Sellers generally seemed willing to part
with their holdings on the basis of W.76 for
good lends of mixed \\ux \ \ * und they cut
loose ns fast ns they could get hold of a
buyer.
The second message from Chicago came
Wrak and the trade slowed up here and
for ti time was rather quiet. In fact It was
nt no tlmo after that very active. Still
the hogs kept selling and were about all
cleaned up before the final wlndttp. The
close , however , was very bad , ns any one
who had late hogs could appreciate , good
loads selling at the end nt fl.70.
An examination of the tables at head
of column will ithovv that the average price
lacked Homo of being 6c lower than yester-
iliiy. The day's receipts wcro the largest
ulrico Tuesday of last week and the largest
for a Wednesday In two weeks. Rep

SHEEP These were five oars re
ported In the yards this morning , but o
that number four loads were consigned dl
rect to the packers , leaving only one mlxc (
load on sale. As was the case ycsterda >
the buyers were anxious for supplies and
the few offered sold readily at a good
strong price.
For some reason sheep men are holding
back supplies , but the prospect Is thn
there will be large receipts Inter on , as
the sheep are known to be in the country
and there are none going by here.
As explained yesterday , there Is n gooc
demand for stockers and feeders nnd or
ders to buy are way In excess of arrivals
so that anything answering to that de
scrlptlon Is snapped up in short order. Rep
