CHICAGO , July 26 Approhfenslon of dani-
HBO by the hot , dry weather prevailing
throughout thtj country ntrcnethcncd wheat
nnd corn today. September wheat closed
with a gain of > ,4Sfs ° and corn &c. Oats
dosed uneh-anfjed , ProvlBlons suffered from
liquidation. Pork lost 12Vj'iJl6c , lard & & ? Va < 9
und rlba 7',4c.
Whwit started strong at 71c and grad
ually rose to 71ic , an advance of ' o over
yesterday's close. The strengthening Inllu-
encea w o strong L.lvorj'ool cables , con
tinued light receipts and unfavorable crop
advices from the northwest , where hot
wlndavcro said to have Inlllcted a good
deal of Injury on growing wheat. After the
llrat buying rush wus ovtr , however , trade
became dull and September sagged back to
71'/ic. The docllno wa helped by weakness
at Paris and the alleged splendid outlook
of the French crop. \ \ hlle rct > orts of dam-
IIKO to spring wheat were very numerous ,
yet there wuro enough promising a good
crop In the aggregate to make traders cau
tious. The lack of Inquiry for ciish wheat
-was another rcanon lor the mijorlty of
traders electing to await further develop
ments. The range amounted to only ' /ic
during the entire session , with the trade of
iv professional character and nine-tenths of
It of u local character. September closed
nt 71c , Chicago received 121 cars , eight of
which were contract grade. Minneapolis and
Duluth got 3S3 , compared with 47G the cpr-
rosrKtfvd'lng ' day last week anil 113 a year
ngo. The aggregate at western prlmnry
jnarkcts was 7U3Ou01)U. , against 1,000,000 , bu.
lust week and 603,000 bu. last year. Exports
of wheat and Hour from Atlantic portu
equaled 226,000 bU.
lloports of possible damage from heat and
lack of rnln strengthened corn. Receipts ,
COT cars. Primary receipts were largo and
olearances rather light. September opened
a shade higher at 32Q32V4C. Sold sparingly
u.t 32c and advanced to 32 , bc at the close.
A good demand from shorts caused a rally
In oats early , but this was lull lost on later
j > rollt-taklng. Receipts , 215 cars. Septem
ber opened a shade lower at 19' c , advanced ,
to lD % < fJ10ic and closed at lDMjl : ; ! > % c.
I argo receipts of hoga and lower prices at
the yards weakened provisions. Soiling on
Htop-loss orders waa again a feature. On
the break packers took hold freely and part
of the decline was recovered , September
pork opened lOSlGc lower at JS.75QS.SO de
clined to JS.C5 , advanced to J8.S2& and closed
at $8.7S(88.77V4. ( September latd opened Be
lower n.t J5.30 < gG.374 ! , rose to J5.40 and de

NEW YORK , July 20. COTTON-BuM-
ncss on the cotton exchange today consisted
largely in switching from the near to the
more remote futures. There was , however ,
some investment buying and more consid
erable covering , the basis of which was for
the most port a reconsideration of the
weekly government report. The report In
dicated a poor situation In the Carollnas ,
with the general condition also unsatltfac-
tory , by reason of shedding , while Texas
showed a poorer average than a week ago ,
In Its entirety the government report as
locally considered became a bullish offset
to the cotton crop advices so numerously
In circulation nt the present time. The mar
ket opened steady with prices from 2 to 5
points higher. Trading for a time was quits
actlvo , with AVnll Hreet buyers prominent.
Later prices Increased from 5 to 6 points ,
when realizing set In and prevented a
further advance. Throughout tho' session
the market was helped by good reports In
regard to spot cotton In the English mar
ket. There were also some Investment or
ders executed during the afternoon , a feelIng -
Ing of conservatism nnd there was a dis
position to hold off for further advices
from the cotton belt and for tomorrow's
cables , particularly with reference to the
consumption of spot cotton. The market
closed steady from 4 to C polnta net higher.

NEW YORK , July 2C. There was not
much change In the character of the. trad

when 1ho market made some show of
strength In sympathy with nn upward
movement In a group of individual stocks ,
but a violent slump In American Malting
was sufficient to put nn end to the rise
nnd wlpo out pretty much all of the previ
ous gain.

tributed to the operation of a i > ool. Buying
from the same source wns supposed to ac
count for the advance of 1 % In People's
Gas and for the vigorous upward move
ment In ithe Gould southwest stocks. The
St. Louis Southwestern lsues were the
most conspicuous ns to activity , the pre
ferred rising 1H. Kansas & Texas common
advanced nearly a point , the preferred
about 2 points and Wabaah preferred 1U.
At the same time Chicago & Eastern Illi
nois Jumped 3 points. Wall street's ex
planation was that St , Lmlls Southwestern
was to bo acquired by the Chicago & East
ern Illinois nnd the combined propertl s
then absorbed by the Rock Island.
President Edwin Gould authorized a de
nial that ho contemplated selling his holdIngs -
Ings In St. Louis Southwestern. Utterances
to th same purport by Rock Island olll-
clals were published. About the sumo time
came disclaimers from the Ogden Gas com
pany Interests that ihcy contemplated sll-
ing out to the People's Gas and People's
Gai lost practically all of Its gain. There
wns a violent break of SVi In American
Malting preferred end 2-i Intho common ,
which completed the unsettling of the
market.
Prices drifted away to the lowest of the
day nnd were not much affected by a spurt
in the late dealings in Lake Erie & West
ern , which rose on the common 14 } and In
itho- preferred of 3 points. American Car
prsferred was also marked up 14. Now
York Central was decidedly heavy all day
and lost over a point not. St. Paul , Min
neapolis nnd Sattlt Ste , Maria common wns
conspicuous for a rise of 1 % and the pre-
fcrreu advanced a ipolnt.
The money market was Inclined to firm
ness and there was some calling of loans
which necesssltated a shifting , though no
great difficulty was found In securing ac
commodations. Much doubt is still felt as
to the extent of the demands which will bo
made upon New York to move the crops.
Discounts In London were further advancsd
and the Bank of England continued buy
gold in tlvo open market , besides receiving
consignments from Germany. Sterling ex
change In New York responded with a
fractional decline.
The Southwestern railroad mortgages
showed some strength in sympathy with
stocks , but otherwise bonds were dull and
rather heavy. Total sales , par value. $2,625-
000. United States 3s , coupon , declined U ,
but the new 4s , registered , advanced JA and

The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The markets
here were stagnant today , except for the
continued booming of Westrallans. Ameri
cans were forgotten , being G pJr cent and
half e.xtra for the new stamp duty. On
some stocks even 7 r > er cent wns demanded.
Ratea on foreign stocks were also excep
tionally stiff. The explanation is the large
amount of money withdrawn on account of
the Wostrallan boom. The bank bought
43,000 cold in bars and 50,000 In German
coin. The week's Inflow was only 7fo,000
ami the expectation hero Is 'that ' the bank
will raise Its minimum discount rate to
morrow to 4 per cent.

AVnol Market.
-BOSTON , July 26. The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of
the wool trade : The wool market continues
strong and there is still n , good volume of
business In progress. Manufacturers , how-
i over , have not purchased during the past
, week quite as freely as previously , al
though the transacUons of the week aggre-
I gate more than nn average week's business ,
I amounting to over 7,000,000 pounds. Ono
I feature In the situation Is the fact -that the
l buying Is almost wholly for consumption ,
speculation being less of a factor In the
trade than for several weeks. The- larger
portion of the business done during the last
week has been done in territory wools , us
usual , although there was a. good demand
for line Australian wool , but , ns has bsen
previously observed , the market Is pretty
well cleaned of this class of wool. The
sales of the week at Boston amounted to
G.600,000 pounds domestic and 722,000 pounds
foreign , a total of 7,521,000 , against a total
of 4.SS5.000 for the corresponding week last
year. Sales since January 1 , 1S99 , amounted
to 157,047,000 pounds , against 65,993,810 pounds
last year at this time.

CATTLE Fat cattle were in good demand
this morning and the market was active at
prices that were at the least a little
stronger , and it might be safe to call It
6jjlOo higher on the best kinds. One good
bunoh of cattto sold up to J5.65. the lop
so far this season. Even the medium kinds
of cattle -were fully steady and the offerings
of aOl kinds changed hands at an early
hour. The market as a whole was in a
good , healthy condition.
Cows and heifers were rather slow sellers ,
especially the common to medium grades ,
which were a little easier If anything1. The
most of the offerings consisted of western
grassers. Quite a number of bulls were
scattered , about the yards and the demand
did not appear to be Quito so brisk as on
some days , and there seemed- be an
-easier feeling. Veal calves were scarce and
considering the quality tdio market wau a
llttlo Hrmer. Good calves could be depended
upon to brine JC.GO.
Stockers and feeders were slow and the
general market lOc lower. Some right de
sirable stuff that Just happened to tlnd a
buyer that took a fancy to it , rnlnht not
have sold that much off , while on the
other hand there were others which were
weaker. The country appears to be waiting
until a little more Is known as to the out
come of the corn crop , and In the mean
time anything llko a liberal run o ( stocker
or feeding cattle seems to have a weakening
effect upon the market. Representative

HOGS The decline hloh Bet In yesterday
was continued today , ind the maiket went
off another 6g7Hc ( u der the influence of
the lower reports m eastern markets.
The trade was a .le elow to open on
account of the back ardneds of sellers to
make the concea&lon demanded , but when
the trading was once inder way the market
was reasonably aoU > and the bulk of the
liojfs changed hands n fairly good seanon.
The hogs cold very argcly a
as npnlnsrt $4.274ff4.3Mi yesterday. Today
the long string was at $ < .2Vff4,27H , and yes
terday tli big bulk went at M.SOy 1.3214.
The market closed , If anything- . little
better than tt was early.
H will be noted from the table of overage
Drtcpa above that the hogs sold today at
prices that wore a big 10s lower than Mon
day's market , and a shade lower than the
market of a week ago. Considering the
mold me * at which the market has been
advancing the past few weeks the reaction
so far tins been very moderate. Buyers
seem to want the hogs at the prevailing
prices. Representative sales :
