Urgent covering li fdiorts today occasioned by n. good caxh d' ' mand rescued the innrkot In the wheat p today. September closed 1 1-Sc higher nr December rose 1&01 G-Sc. Corn left off lit changed to 1-fc higher. Oats iiru tit changed. Pork advanced Gc , lard decline Co and rlhn selling unchanged. Wet weather In the northwestern sprln wheat territory , together with higher ci blcs from Liverpool , were responsible I some extent for the llrmticss that charai tcrlzcd the commencement of trading I wheat. An Incretiso In the arrivals up nnrt and the prediction by the weather buroa of wet weather tonlphl In thu spring com try changed the temper of thu Hpuculatlv crowd and the direction of prices. Who wcakncHS set In It was more particular ! apparent In December wheat , the dl.'pos tlon among tradeni being to get out an stay out of September In view "f the sma stocks IKTO and elsewhere. The hope c higher prices under prlci'S Indulged in b the bulls In the market have of late hoc largely bnsod nn the expectation that tli bears would oversell themselves for Hoi tcmber. The bears appeared to huvu sotii apprehension on that score and trnmifrrru their ventures to December , thus giving nervous character to the trading In Sc | tember and reducing December to an nltt Aether unusual discount under auch cond lions ns exist at present. 'J'hu conditions have no exact parallel I former seasons , for never before worn visIble Iblo stocks so small. Chicago tcceivcd : cars , against 311 cars yesterday. The ar gregatt ! of the primary western marlcct r < celpts was still under that of the provlou year. The total today was 673,000 bu. an a year ago 792.000 bu. The Atlantic poi clearances wore equal In wheat and lion to 442,000 bu. The course of the market wn rather changeable , with xpplla of weiiitne.- followed by considerable strciiRth. Septen her was much moro susceptible to Iniyln than selling orders , readily recovering froi moderate declines. Deecmber was lef easily affected , hut nlso responded -who September was In urgent request. Tli shipping demand for wheat wan as brls as ever , The sale of 130,000 bu. No. 2 har for shipment at 70 l-3fi70V4c started tli shorts , tba cash prlco being 5c over Sei tcmber. with the hitter month only a for night off. The covering that followed thr transaction rallied the prlco of , Soptcti ber and December over Ic each and tl market closed without enough to uatls ! the demand. September opened ' -ic hlKln at 05 3-Ec , gradually worked down to 61 5 ( if53iC. ! December began l-8c up nt C2 7-S Cic. sold down to 62 3-bc. llrmed up to G3'/j and close < l at 03Sc bid. Corn opened weak and became very hca\ during the forenoon on liquidations by tl longs and heavy soiling on stop loss order Reports about the probable yield of tl crop were far from corroborating govcn inont figures on condition. Owing to tin fact the buying In of short corn on tl early decline was general and had not be < nil untlslled when the wheat market con mcnced Its big advance.jThnt started moi shorts covering , and a good many peep bought who had been waiting for the bo torn decline to buy for the long accoun All the early decline In September was r covered and December did oven better , ai vancltig toJo over September , and close with that much premium attached to It li stead of l-ic ! discount , as It did the tin previous. September opened unchanged 1-So lower at 31 l-SW3tUe. declined to 30 3 Si30',5c nnd rallied to 31UG31 3-Sc sellers i the close. Oats followed corn , weak early , but r covered later. Elevator people sold nt tl decline. September started unchanged i 20 l-8c. declined to in c nnd llrmed up 201-8c asked. Provisions ruled dull most < tbo time , but had a few redeeming Into vals of moderate activity. The feature i the day's business was liquidation by pacl crs of products previously bought nnd tl ready absorption of offerings without mut reduction In prlco.

IIO'NIIM , neactlnn In Prli-on of Htopkn Hot li l.ntc , lint In Stnllnl. NEW YORK , Aug. IR.-Tho reaction I prices of stocks which hna been lokcd fo for several days came In the late trndliii today. Thn professional traders have bee : oagcrly anticipating this action at tha mar kct and have several times sought to brlni It about by ntacklng slock * with shor wales. They wore bavins fair success yesterday torday , when the nnnounrcment of the In crease In the Burlington dividend put then to rout. The subsequent upward Furgo the market nerved to make it all the mor vuluerablti to bear uttacki and they opunui their guns this morning with nn onslatitth on Tobacco , People's Gas nnd Brooklyi Rapid Transit. Although this assault cam with very hcnvy reall lng offerings In 111 grangers ntid pacifies nnd Home favorites" " thu outride demand for stocks was no enor inoun as to take th * market uway from tli professionals and lift prices upwards li furious activity and very widely distribute ! trading. But there cnmo n. time later I : the day when the outside demand was fo a time satisfied and when the recent pur chasers of stocks were Mill anxious to tnk the handsome profits accrued upon their The bears kept nlbbllnc nt the llxt an made an aggressive attack in the hist bout which carried prices down sulllclently ti wlp out weak margins and bring out sto loss orders. The group of low priced rail road stocks and Industrial specialties Int which , the tide of speculation shifted thl mornlnff had not sufficient strength to hoi the market In the face of this liquidation although they held Htubbornly throng ] most of It. Some of them finally succumbei with the rest of the lisa , which fell genet ally below lust nlRht'n level. The bill clique apparently offered no resistance t the decline , but support was forthcomlnj bnfore it had proceeded to any great length The activity of the market greatly de creased and the volume of business wa materially smaller than yesterday. It Is Ktrtklng evidence of how far tli Now York market has cut loose from th leadership of London , that for the firs tlmo practically censed to sell stocks 1 : New York and turned buyer of many o the leading International * . Sterling ex change responded to this development Money rates continue easy nnd unchanged but there Is n growing demand for fund from the Interior. AH gold Is unsult.ibl for thin purpose and there is nt times , famine of legal tenders there Is a llvel demand for the new government 3 pe cents for bank circulation. Thin bond com mandu 1051A on the Stock exchange todaj which Is U per cent above the prevlou high lavcl. The treasury statement show an actual decline In the government dc posits In national banks , notwlthstandtn the continued loutcs of New York banks t the nublrensury for payments of bond sut scrlptlons. The explanation seems to b that the banks prefer to use the new bond for circulation In the form of bank note to moot the Interior demand rather tha us Hecitrlty for government deposits , whlc would keep only additional gold In th money market. Shipments of the nei bonds nro being made all too slow to mec the desires of the banks with the newl developed requirements for currency t move the crop. There was a good market for rallron bonds today nnd a slight tendency to Ir crease prices In the late dealings. Tolr sales , $3C50,000. Bid prices for governmer bonds were rather stationary , except fc 3s , which advanced Vi per cent. The Evening Post's London financial co blenrnm says : The slock markets hot were lifeless today , the exchange holld.i on Saturday next helping to check bus ness. Americans merely followed N < r York's lead , there being no Initiative hot today and the close was dull. Certain foi elgn brokers here largely concerned wit nrbltagc dealings In foreign stocks hav been cutting commission rates trcmei dously on purchases and sales of stock : These dealers , who act principally for foi elgn houses , have contracted a very larp business and are now said to be turntn their attention to Americana. This Is proi Ing the signal for a gunernl outcry froi Stock exchange members against rate cu : ting. Argentines touched tholr lowest polr on continental realizations. Details of the gold movement for th week show the receipt of 115,000 from Aui tralla , of 21,000 from South America nn of 48,000 from South Africa and the sal of 18,000 on foreign.

" The receipts , as will 1 noted above , were considerably larger thu yesterday , though not as large as on Moi dny or Tuesday. At the same time It wi the largest rnn for a Thursday In a got many months. During the time thnt nath cattle constitute the sole supply of the ma kr > t Thursday Is a very light day , but no that the range cattle are coming there not that distinction. All told there were about fourteen loa < of native beef steers on sale , but the qua Ity fell considerably short of yesterday standard that Is , there was nothing eltlv choice or fancy among offerings. The Hal ranged mostly from J4.60 to J5.25 for vci ordinary stuff up to pretty fair. The d mand was good and the buyers were n < long In clearing the pens at teed , stroi prices. Cows and heifers were In good demar nnd sold readily at fully steady price Yesterday the medium and common cov were very poor sellers and were lower , i that the feeling today was considerably Ir proved , even If prices were not material higher. Stockers nnd feeders brought stror prices and the offerings were very soc cleaned up. Yesterday developed quite country demand for that class of cattle at last night thirty-four cars were shlppi out , so that speculators' supplies wci pretty well cleaned up and they were n free buyers this mornlg. There was quite u showing of wcstci cattle In the yards , good enough for bee probably llfteen or sixteen cars , and In tl neighborhood of twenty cars of Wyomlr Texans. The market was steady to a lltt stronger nnd active , so that everything hr changed hands nt an early hour. Some b fleshy , coarslsh westerns brought J4.35f4.
