CHICAGO , Aug. 25. After nearly two
hours' elation and buoyancy today wheat
became Bogfry nnd depressed on heavy for
eign markets nnd liberal receipts of the
new crop. September nnd December closed
3-8 < Slc lower each. Corn lost Uc. Oats are
unchanged to 1-So higher. Pork Is down Cc ;
Jard nnd ribs remain unchanged.
The tendency nt the start In wheat was
toward weakness , but the market soon
turned strong and prices continued to creep
tip for nn hour und a half , during which
tlmo September rose from 63 6-8 < 8C3 7-8c at
the start to G4G-8c. It held firmly within
Uc of the price last mentioned for another
liulf hour und then In about fifteen minutes
It undid all Its previous work by dropping
back once more to 63 D-Sft-CS-Tic. The Sep
tember future , while showing the widest
r.-ingo In vnluon , was not the most lieavlly
dealt In. The new business was largely
conllncd to December nnd May , In which
later deliveries fluctuations were less anc
the volumeof trade larger. A good deal
was done In the way of buying In short
wheat fur September and reselling It for
December. The Liverpool market rc-
eponded but feebly to the previous day'f
rlso here , but Chicago received only 158
curs wheat , against 200 estimated , awl com
pared with 252 received the corresponding
day the year before. Minneapolis and iu-
luth received 511 cnrlouds , against 327 lust
year. Although that amount was again
heavily In excess of those of the preceding
ecason , It was not so largo as to bo cxces-
Rlvcly bearish. Wild the present simil
Blocks of visible wheat It wan necessary
to the September ohorts to prevent them
from gettlnc panicky that the news shouli
not only be bearish but decidedly so. The
primary winter wheat marketH on the other
hand all received much less than they dli
the corresponding day of the year before
the total being S07.000 bu. , against 920,000 bu
last year. The continental markets were
not much changed , except for August de
livery at Paris , where one of the pcrlocllca
French corners was In progress. An esti
mate of the probable outcome of the spring
wheat rrop by statisticians now of 300,000-
000 bu. did much to calm the minds of shorts
iind prevent undue confidence on ths par :
of bulls , who doubtless did not lese High
of Snow's figures , even when prices were
taking a climb early. Demand from the
ticaboord for nhlpping lota was not very
lirlwk , nnd principally for September ship
ment. The market ruled very heavy near
the end , September getting ilown to 63',4c
nnd December declining to 61 > .ic , but they
both rallied n fraction just as the bell was
tapping. September opened unchanged to
1-Sc lower nt 63 5-8W63 7-8c , advanced to
C > 1 6-8c. dropped to C3Uc and closed at G3 3-Sc
pcllcrK. December started unchanged to
Fi-So down at 615-8SC17-8c , Improved to
62 l-8c , receded to 61'/i and left oft at 01 3-8c
A little business was done In corn for ex
port , but the tone was heavy for an hour
or so , during1 which It was strengthened
by the early bullishness of wheat. Sep
tember opened unchanged to l-8c higher al
from SOftSO l-8c , Improved to 30V4Q30 l-8c anc
then worked slowly down to 29 > io and closet
with buyers nt that.
Trade In oats was only moderately active
and pretty well scattered. There was some
Inquiry from the seaboard for heavy grain
hut the bids were somewhat out of line
September began unchanged to 19c , sold
tip to 20c and closed nt 1954019 7-8c.
Provisions were affected In a small way
by talk of yellow fever In Texas. Pork
however , was the only one of the three
speculative commodities that showed a de-
citno worth noting nnd the loss In pork
prices was only 6c a bbl.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat

STOCKS AND IIOMIfi.
Mnrkct for ( he liny Opens with Sharp
Advance , Whlrh Is Checkcil.
NEW YORK , Aug. M.-lndlcntlons In the
stock market late yesterday that the liqui
dation of profits was over for the present
and that powerful Interests were prepared
to enter on the lone side were evidently
confirmed today. Prices were marked up
sharply at the opening , but them were
sufficient selling orders placed with com
mission houses to reduce the cnltin In the
grangers and put a stop to the advance.
The enormous absorption of the Northern
Pacific stocks , however , was unabated nnd
the nggresslvo strength shown by Sugar
nlso helped the early rise. The continued
udvanco of Minnesota Iron nnd strength
tn Homo of the Industrial specialties were
ftlso sustaining forces. There was evidence
of support In Manhattan , thtia nerving to
remove uneasiness us to the unsettling
effect of that stock. The large outside of
ferings to take profits served to materially
decrease the buying movement , however ,
and a period of dullness and firmness Inter
vened. It was terminated by the sudden
movement In Union Pacific , which rose
early above 32 and WOK held thcro for the
balance of the day. The preferred Htock
was also lifted to 67 nnd the movement ex
tended to the gningcrH and southern rail
roads. The Northern Paclllc stocks suffered
from profit-taking under cover of this di
version of speculation , but the advance In
the general list was continuous and the
market broadened HO as to embrace a large
number of dormant stocks. The grangers
were all advanced to near the high point
on the present movement and St. Paul rose
a sharp fraction above It. A late recovery
In People's QMS after early depression
carrying the price above 107 held the mar
ket in the final truiwnotlons In the faro
of some active profit-taking and an ad
vance In Denver preferred of nearly 2
points helped to the same end.
The money market maintained its firmer
tone today , call loans ranging from 1 % to
2l,4. Sterling- exchange weakened under the
pressure of grain and cotton bills giving
assurances that prompt relief may be had
for any money stringency. New York banks
ave been losing steadily to the sub-trcas-
ry on bond operations during the week ,
ut government deposits with the banks
ave been largely increased as the newly
iBtributed 3 per cent bonds have be-
omo available to the banks as security
or government deposits. Uneasiness re-
tvrdlng the declining surplus reserve has
here fore been largely allayed. Profit taking
was In evidence in some of the speculative
> ends today , but the standard issued were
mainly flrm. Total sales , $4.770,000. Govern
ment bonds were unchanged.
The Evening Post's London financial
cablegram Bays : Stocks were quiet here to-
ay , except Americans , which were nctlvo
nd strong. They opened quiet , but soon
ccnme buoyant on buying of Northern
'aclfle and Union Pacific from Berlin. St.
> aul also advanced sharply on belated
oars buying , the only sellers being arbl-
rage houses where fulr margins existed.
* Jew York also absorbed stock readily ,
rloes closed at the best nnd arbitrage
ealers expressed confidence of a further
Iso in spite of such factors as a fall In
wheat. Canada Pacific 'Was sold from Ber-
in but it subsequently rallied with Amerl-
ans. There was a further rise In Argen-
Incs and Brazils. About 500,000
rrived today from the Cape. The principal
uyers were RUSH la and Japan , but I learn
rom a good quarter that New York Is
.Iso buying moderately. Spanish exchange
n London Is easier and consequently Spain
a again buying silver. A preliminary re
port , issued by the Indian currency com
mission , containing evidence of cxportH ,
xcltes much attention. H is believed in the
> cst Informed quarters here that the gold
tandard experiment will bo tried. The re
newed upward tendency In the .London
money market comes In response to the
firmer tone of New York money rates and
ho Increase In American bills offered here
or future delivery.

CATTLE The feeling In the fat cattle mar
ket was a little better than yesterday and
desirable cornfed cattle were at least steady
to strong. The buyers acted more as it
they wanted the cattle than they did yes
terday , due possibly to the fact that the
supply was far from large. Some good
medium weight but well fattened corn
cattle sold up to 95.20 , with fair but well
fattened lots going at about 16.00. There
was quite a string of western beef steers
among the offerings and they changed
hands in good Reason nt Just about steady
prices. Some big , coarslsh westerns sold
at )4.35. which Is about where that kind of
cattle has been landing right along.
Only about ten or a dozen loads of cows
nnd heifers were on sule nnd the market
on that kind was unchanged. They were
practically all westerns , with quite a wide
r.ingo In quality.
Considerable interest centers in the
stocker and feeder trade just at present ,
which as the season advances Is becoming
of more Importance every day. The break
In the market for that kind of cattle this
week has attracted especial attention. To
day tne fresh arrivals were not large ,
most of the westerns here being good
enough for killers , and the market did not
show much change as compared with yes
terday. Still the market on yearlings , If
anything , was lower and it Is safe to call
It JW/40c lower than it was a week ago.
Some would call the break even larger than
that. A buyer remarked this morning that
he was offered yearlings at $4.15 that he
would have paid 14.65 for at the high time
last week. While yearlings are so much
lower , good heavy feeders weighing ; 1,000
to 1,100 pounds are very little. If any , lower.
Good cattle of that description are selling
right around $4.30. Representative sales :
