CHICAGO , Aug. 21. Heavy foreign mar-
ktU caused robust bcarlshncss In wheat to
day. Aft .r nn early advance September
lift off 0-Sc lower and December declined
S-Efl'/Jc. ' Corn lo.it UI/3-Sc. / Oats are un
changed to 1-Sc higher. Pork closed 5o
lower , lord gained 2ti1J3c and ribs rose 5c.
The Liverpool market Instead of showing
nympatliy with yesterday's strength hero
was lower by Vid for September nnd ' , id
for December. That was the principal rca-
non for a decline here nt the start. The
depression did not last long and In n short
tlmo from thu opening the market bccnmo
iultj strong * , September rising 6-So above
the pievlous day's closing price.
London reported a good demand for car
goes on passage and that helped things a
little , hut the chief reason for the Ktrcngth
that so quickly succeeded the llrst dccllna
was the nervousness of September shorts
on account of the small stocks here and
the prospects of an Increase , Chicago re
ceived 612 cars. Minneapolis and Duluth
received 475 cars , compared with 174 n year
ngo. Advices from the spring wheat re-
Klop favored the expectation of continued
liberal receipts. Some reports were to the
effect that the results of threshing were
disappointing , but such reports did not dis
turb thu general Impression that a spring
wlifrnt crop hud been raised exceeding In
bulk tht ! crop of any former season. Thu
aggregate receipts at western primary mar-
ki'la were 971,000 bu. , against 9S5.000 bu. on
the corresponding day of 1S97. Export clear
ances of wheat nnd Hour from Atlantic and
gulf ports were equal to 336,000 bu. , or about
half what they were yesterday. The llrm-
ness In futures was well maintained until
the Tarls and Antwerp markets reported
for the day. The continental quotations
ended the bullishness here for the rest of
thu session. Paris reported November and
February wheat SO centimes , or equal to
4Uo a bu. lower , and Antwerp showed a
loss of IVic n bu. September , which had
Hold as high as 01 3-Sc In the forenoon ,
broke on the weakness abroad to 6.1c , but
llrincd up a fraction Just before the close.
The Corn Trade Nuws was credited with
cabling that Australian crop prospects
iwere fuvorablo and that olllclal Russian
reports were for a full average yield. Sep
tember opened UftS-Sc lower at Rl S-SflOoVJc ,
rose to 04c , foil to C.lc and closed nt 03 l-s
uskedi December started V4 < iN3-Rc down at

'llted ( to Cl'i.c and closed at OP/iQOi 5-Sc
bid.
bid.Corn
Corn at the start acted In a way to make
1'lad thu hearts of the bulls and then turned
around and rnnded them. The early ad
vance wns duo to heavy buying by shorts
nnd elevator Interests In damage claims
from Kansas and Nebraska. Later , how-
< wer , the reports , were emphatically denied
und that without the largest estimates for
tomorrow Inclined everybody to thu soiling
Bide. The tumble that folloxved that action
left the closing prices at the low point of
the day. It opened unchanged at 30 1-Sr ,
advanced to 30 6-Ec and declined to 2Wi $ (
9 7-So at the close.
The llrmness of oats was attributed to
reports of considerable damage to that
grain from the heavy rains. September
began l-8c higher nt ID 7-Sc , sold up to
10 1-So and weakened to IDJ.jfS'lO ' 7-Sc , the
closing llgure.
Provisions ruled strong because of the
disappointingly small run of hogs. Packers
bought heavily of lard and ribs.
September pork opened lOc U | > at $ S.Dj , de
clined to $ S.S5 and closed nt $ S..tO. September
bird began 5a7VjC higher at J5.12V4 , 'rose to
J5.15 and weakened to $5.10 asked , the clos
ing price. September ribs started 7',4c bet
ter at 55.17'S. sold oft to So.lSVi , then rallied
to $5.15 bid ut the close.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : AVheat ,
215 cars ; corn , 700 cars ; oats , 400 cars ; hogs ,
22.000 head.

NEW YORIv , Aug. 21. There were FOV-
cral quite Important elements of positive
strcngt,1 ! In the stock market today , but the
preponderating Inlluenf5 of nevernl features
nnd the heavy profit-taking by largo hold
ers of leading stocks nullllled them. The
last prices were In nearly all cases below
thoao of last night. The London market
followed yesterday's weakness and iiffectfd
thu opening here , causing declines In some
of the Internationals. The grangers madu
a strong opening In eplte of selling for Lon
don account on account of the high level of
earnings disclosed by St. Paul's statement
for the third week In August. The In
creased movement of grain In the north
west , which has weakened wheat for the
last few days , Is probably reflected In
these earnings , which were $33,35S In exctcs
of lns > t year nnd over $14,000 In excess of
the. high level for the corresponding period
In 1SD2. The grain movement , though aug
mented , Is not yet up to last year's level ,
and the large earnings are due to general
trufllc resulting from the more liberal out
lay of last year's profit by the people of
the west.
The sharp advance In the grangers nt the
opening , due to buying by commission
hoaises and bidding up of prices by traders ,
resulted only In bringing very heavy offers
to realize. There was change of specula
tive interest from St. Paul , and the grang
ers Into some of the low-priced stocks with
dividend prospects. Northern Pacific was
most conspicuous In this clnss , und was
absorbed In enormous blocks , closing at the
top at an advance of 1 3-S. Union Paclllc
sympathized In a less degree , but the pre
ferred stocks In neither case were largely
taken. Rumors of nn agreement to arbi
trate the war with the Canadian Pacltlc
helped to Impart strength to the transcon
tinental roads. There wns very large de
mand for People's Gas and marked strength
In some Individual stocks , but these were
not Biifllclent to offset tlm persistent profit-
taking. Manhattan was weak and closed 2
per cunt below last night.
The Now York banks continue to lese
money to the subtrcasury on account of
bond subscriptions , and there Is dllllcutty
n obtaining the new bonds to serve as sc-
urlty to the government for the deposits
f public funds. There Is a decided ten-
ency also toward a falling off in govern-
ncnt disbursements for war expenses , and
ho Interior demands for money are In-
rcnslng this week. A fall of Vic In the nc-
unl price of sterling exchange Is suggest-
vo of the source from which prompt relief
vould come for any stringency In money.
, A curious result of the financial strength I
f this country IB the strength of Spanish '
s today. It Is current talk In Wall street
hat American funds -ire going Into thetiO
ends In tlie belief that the Spanish gov-
rnment will find , means to secure Interest

New York Dry Gnnil * Market.
NEW YORK , Aug. 24.-Thero Is a con
tinued quiet market locally In nearly all dry
goods. There Is little store trading and tha
expansion of business curried on by road
salesmen Is about up to expectations. In
staple cottons thcro arc few phenomena
which point toward a general Improvement.
The buyers which are operating In the local
rnnrkrt assert that the conditions arc good
with them. But they refuse at the same
tlmo to expand the scope of their purI
chnnes. Bleached and brown goods are
fairly active. Coarse cottons , colored , are
quiet and unchanged In any trade. Blankets
and flannels show good general results.
Print cloths ore the most satisfactory goods
now In the market. Extras urc Htlll quoted
at 2c. Odd goods are In u steady demand
and are firm. Printed cotton goods uro
without feature.

CATTLE Today's receipts of cattle were
the largest for Wednesday In a good ninny
weeks and another noticeable feature was
the fact that a very considerable proportion
of the receipts consisted of cornfed bfeves.
On account of the large receipts and the
additional fact that Chicago reported a
weak market the general tendency here
\vas lower.
There were no grass western beeves to
amount to anything on sole and what there
v.-ero sold about steady with yesterday. A
few hay and grass cattle brought $4.t > .
The supply of beef cattle was made up
almout entirely of cornfed steers , the most
of them westerns , with one big string of
Texas. The demand WHS of very liberal
proportions and the buyers wanted the
cattle , but under the conditions noted above
tlie general market was weak to a little
lower. Some cattle which just happened
to please the buyers sold about steady , and
In fact the buyers were claiming that they
paid steady prices for everything. There
were no choice cuttle , but good steers sold
at $5.1055.25 and good kinds of half-fat
stuff at $ I.75S'4.90. '
There were very few cows and heifers in
the yards , but the market was lacking In
snap nnd was no more than steady at the
best and some would call It lower.
The supply of stockers and feeders was
very large , both fresh cattle as well as
stale , and the market was lower. Good
1,000 to 1,150-pound feeders , ready to go Into
the feed lot , have not been very plentiful
any day , while the demand has been good ,
so that they sold about steady. On the
other hand , yearlings were lOc lower , and ,
If not desirable , 15c lower. Speculators
have paid such large prices for yearling
stackers that every one In the country has
been running them In , while the demand
has been rather disappointing. Yesterday
speculators did not succeed In unloading
very many and they all had plenty left
over this morning and were not Inclined to
add to their holding unless they could
secure a very substantial concession. Rep
resentative sales :

number of sheep on sale today as yester
day. Of those here , however , only about
ten cars were on sale , the balance being
consigned direct to packers. The demand

pens.
The prices paid were steady with yester
day and the market was without ejuotablo
change. Some Wyoming wethers sold al

yesterday.
