CHICAGO , Aug. 31. A sharp advance In

rutlons In the wheat pit nml partially uns
tained wheat prices. September wheat

Liverpool , before the opening licre , showed
declines In wheat of 0-Sd for September and
' /id for December , which was sulllclcnt to
u < count fur lower prices at the start. More
cc-ntidimc' ' was soon expressed by tlio trad
ers , however , when they observed how little -
tlo wheat was for sale at the reduction nnd
) mw much appeared to be wanted. The
northwestern receipts wcro sulllcleiitly lib
eral to keep bullishness from taking a very
lirm bold of the crowd , but there were
fewer expressions of benrlshneas to lit
licard. New York reported early In the
ilay that foreign demand there for wheal
for shipment was moro actlvo thnn lot
Home time previous. It was partly because
of the Improved export demand , but per-
Imps mom on account of the early bullish-
Jir an of < orn that September and DecMinbei
xvlieat at Chle.-igo quickly recovered the
blight dip It made at the opening.
Cash wheat was easy at about ' -ifilc de-
cllno for cniitract grade and lower grades al
iibniit yesti-nlay's prices to a shade higher
Chli ago rotuptM were 2.fi cars , ng.ilnst IK

celv d CI7 c.-u'.s , compared with Z'.tl the yeai
before , and the- aggregate at all the prin
cipal western markets amounted to 1,110,001
bu. , compared with 1,119,000 bu. the corre
Hpiindliig day of the previous year. Tin
catching up of the receipts to the voltuni
ot last year was ono of the most market
features of the day's developments. Ship
inentH from Atlantic and gulf ports , ctjuu
Jn wheat and flour to 790,000 bu. , passi-i
without comment , Illustrating the grealei
Jnllueneo with the crowd of anything capa
Mo of bearish Interpretation. In llm las
liour the advancJng tendency In corn hav
ing been chei-ked , wheat turned weak am
prices gradually worked lower. Scptembei
opened i-li-Sc ( : ! lower at ( .IITCfi , advanced t <
1.1fce. [ . reacted to lit : 5-Xe and closed at C3 s
Catin7-.Sc sellers ; December started 1-Si
down at 81 7-81 ti2e , up to G2 S-S KS' ' r , off t <
( il 5-Sc , then recovered to C19ic buyers at tin
close- .
The growing conviction of a proapeetlvi
phort crop being nt present clenched lnt <
jin asnurimce of a poor yield by the con
tinned high lemperatnro strengthened corn
I'roinlncnt bulls bought heavily nnd tin
efforts made by the shorts to cover wen
luirdly li-ss active. There was some re
cession from the top near the close , cause !
liy realizing and lebernl estimates for to
morrow. September started 1-Sc higher a
noi.iifclO 3-Kc. di-cllned to 30 1-U830',4C am
closed at 30 3-tiu buyers.
Oats acted Independent of either wheat o
corn and prices ruled steady within a iinr
row range. The most of the trading tlom
was changing from September to Docem
Ijer. September opened unchanged to 1-Si
lip at 20c , declined to 19ic and closed a
39 7-Sc.
Largo receipts of hogs nnd lower price
nt the yards started provisions weak. Yel
low fever rumors brought nbout heavy sell
Ing of pork and lard , and prices de llnci
tihnrply. September opened IDc lower a

NEW YORK , Aug. 31-Today's slorU
market was quite ns remarkable for the
listless nnd heaviness of HIP stnndard se
curities as It was for the animation and
strength of a number of specialties. The
grangers , 1'nlon Paclllcs , Atrhlson pre
ferred , Urooklyn Rapid Trnnslt , Suifar and
most of the railway shares wcro stagnant
nil day nnd all of them closed at net losses
With outside Huctnations for the day of
small fractions. The great combination of
Iron and steel companies Was olio of the
notable Inllueneet ) which caused activity
and strength In a number of stocks. Those
already known to be In the combination
showed strength all day nnd the common
und preferred stocks of the American Steel
nnd Wlro company advanced 3ft I 3-S per
cent , respectively , on rumors that It wan
to bo Included In the consolidation. Pos
sibly tin.- large buying nnd sharp gain of
the Cleveland , Lornln , Wheeling Btockit
were connected with the prime cause. The
movement In Northern Pacllk- was also a
special oni ) and was caused by a report
that a reserve surplus to Insure the pre
ferred dividend was in contemplation. Wabash -
bash preferred continued Its upward move
ment , but met Hoods of stock at a price of
21 and east-il off. People's Clns was very
largely dealt In and gained 2 ; j-3 per cent
net. closlmr at the top on the belief that
conlllctlng Interests had been adjusted. The
biio.xancy of this stock at the close did not
save the balance of the list from n sagging
tendency. There were conspicuous move
ments In a number of other stocks of lesrf
prominence. Manhattan was a source of
weakness all day nnd lost 2 points nt onfl
time. The announcement of the llrst gold
Imports Imparted some vigor to the market
and did not ' -herk n further decline In
sterling exchange. London discount rates
advanced 'i per cent to 1 3-bfil 7-S per cent ,
but this i. still H to 1 f.-S per cent below
the rates for the corresponding periods In
New York. In view of the apparent needs
of the money market the decline In govern
ment bonds today , Including i'ie new 3s
when Issued , is somewhat perplexing.
These bonds are supposed to bo In eager
demand , the banks only to offer as secur
ity for government deposits , thus reliev
ing the drain of cash Into the treasury ,
but also for circulation to meet the grow
ing Interior demand. There were some
large transactions In bonds today and
prices were quite ( Irmly held with a few
exceptions , notably the Atchlson Issues.
Total sales , J2,743i'00. ' United States 4s , the
5s and the old 4s , registered , and the * Ja
when Issued declined ' /i .per cent In the
bid price.
The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram says : The chief feature in the
stock markets hero today was the sudden
Hurry In money , which rose to 1'a per cent ,
whllo the discount rate went to 1 7-S per
cent. The spurt was partly due to the
market having had to pay yesterday for
1,500.000 in treasury bills , while today IH
the last of the month and the Stock ex
change pay day. The market had to borrow
a lurge npiount from the Hank of England ,
Hold was In strom ? denmnd for New York
In the open market at 77s I0 4d. Unless the
orders are countermanded eagles will leavi
the Hunk of England this week. The mar
kets were Irregular. They opened weak on
heavy Paris selling , but later Paris bought
freely and prices here rallied accordingly ,
Americans opened dull nnd then milled or
continental buying of Pacific stocks , nota
bly Central Pacllle. The close was firm ,
llaltlmoro & Ohio was bought. The A men.
can market Is described In good quarters aj
nervous and llrigetty. The rise In Argen
tines continues. I am told that Argentine
treasury bills issued three months ago nl
i price to yield S per cent have been re
newed nt Bl,4 per cent.

A NEW
FOR READERS OF
By Louis Tracy ,
Author "An American "
of AmericanEwjicror ,
"The Final Mur "
, ttc.
Began August 7 and
Continues Ten Weeks ,
Mr. Tracy Is well known ns a
brilliant younc writer , who has
achieved the difficult task of blaz
ing out a now nnd untrodden path
In the well explored domain of
story writing. Instead of historical
fiction , ho has devoted himself to
fictitious history and his success la
this original line has rruiJo him one
of the most popular authors of the
day , both In America and In Kng-
land."K
land.
In Its broad linen , "Tho Lost
Provinces" resembles Mr. Tracy's
earlier story , "An American Em
peror. "
Vanslttart , the American million
aire , who does the moat remarkable
things In a thoroughly matter-of-
fact way , Is the principal flguro In
this story. Some of the other char
acters have likewise been made
familiar by "An American Em
peror , " but the Bceno of action and
the course o the story are en
tirely different and the talc Is even
more skillfully told.
As the tale suggests , the story
deals with the struggle hetvrcen
Franco and Ocrmany over the lost
provinces of the former. In dire
straits , Franco appeals to the
wealthy American who once before
proved her salvation. He Imme
diately responds and sets out
across the Atlantic on his private
yacht. An attempt Is made by the
Germans to capture him , but he
escapes through the Intervention
of an English man-of-war and ar
rives safely In Paris , where ho Is
welcomed as the one hope of the
despairing nation. Vanslttart becomes -
comes coinuiander-In-dhlef of the
army , and the military operations ,
through which ho brings the war
to n successful Irsui , , tccupy the
chief part of the ctory.
The story Is made lively and In
teresting by the adventures and
mishaps of Folllett , the Paris do-
tcctlvo ; by "Arizona Jim , " n west
ern cowboy , who accompanies Van-
Blttart In the capacity of body
guard ; by the eccentric French In
ventor , Armand Duprcz ; by German
spies end French soldiers and
bonnes , The treaty of peace ,
finally contracted by Vannlttart and
tin German emperor , Is unique and
highly democratic In Its terms.
The author has made the most
of a largo amount of Interesting
material In this new lilory , and the
few persons who have seen It pro
nounce It the best work that Mr.
Tracy has done thus far. There la
a charming variety and plctur-
esquencss In the characters pre
sented and the story moves on
Its way with a sprlshtllneas of
action which makca It especially
suited to UEO as a newspaper aerial.
