CHICAGO , Aug. 8. The weak cash
lion and a sharp drop In foreign market !
pushed wheat to n. new low level today ,
September closing weak at ? 4iHc declln <
from yesterday. Com was steadied bj

higher. Oats closed Irregular , a ehad <
lower to V4o higher. Provisions declined
Bharply , closing I'/lSISHc lower.
Opening prices for September whea.1
showed a decline of V49Vio from yesterday ,
etartlng at 6SK3 8U < : , and that proved to be
the hlirh jMjint of the day. Interest In th
iimrkut , which ha been slack rfor several
days , was , It possible , even duller than yes
terday and 'the market for the greater parl
of Uvo sesnlon kept within a ranga of } c
The weakness at the start was due to a
docltno at Liverpool of % ! since Friday ,
This was double the dccluic. In the local
niarkot slnco that day and , coupled with the
continued absence of foreign Inquiry tot
American wheat , kept prices on the. dawn
Bivule during most of 'tho day. It was ap
parently the prevailing opinion that It was
a hopeless task to attempt to bull the
xr.nrket while there Is so little demand foi
wheat abroad nnd what Httlo .buying . was
dene was against puts , to which price ( CSU
( gfiSHc ) the market declined shortly aftei
the opening. There was scattered sellingby
the northwest and by local commission
houses , * ut outside Interest was slack. Sep.
itember longr wt'fo Inclined to transfer their
deals from that month to December and
buying of the Utter agalnat sales of Sep
tember had a tendency 'to ' widen the spread
between 'those mondhs to the advantage oi
the carriers. Broomhall's llcures of the
European vlslblo Indicated a large increase
end was a bearish feature of the mornlnu'e
trading. Bradstreet's flgurea , however ,
I ehowed a decroaa * of 1,207,000 bu. and for
a time this steadied the market , causing a
rally In September , which'toad In the meantime -
' time declined to 6S } c , to about CSHQ63- ,
but no substantial support was forthcoming
J and prices soon sagged again. New York
reported export sales of 10 boatloads. Not
. tmshel 'was placed from here. Northwest
receipts were 199 cars , against 296 last week
and 49 a year ago. Chicago receipts were
116 cars , 12 of contract grade , Atlantic port
clearances amounted to 370,000 bu. A
BHgthtly better feeling developed near the
I close , s'horts being fair buyers at the bottom
tom , and the market rallied slightly , closing
t. 6SV&4SHC.
Corn was fully as dull as wheat , but
nuch steadier. The market was weak at
the start , partly In sympathy with wheat
nd on the favorable crop conditions , but
the strong cash situation sustained prices.
There was vigorous soiling of September
at times and the more distant futures
Bhowed the most strength. .Receipts . were
liberal , 662 cars , but Indications were for a
lighter movement , as country acceptances
( have been light for eome time. September
ranged from 30',4'3COi'c to 30c and prices
closed a ahado higher at 30ic. .
OM were dull and Irregular. The feature
of trade was the demand for May , which
was shturp enough to result In a % c tid-
vnnco In that option. The cash demand
iwaa excellent , 160,000 bu. being worked here.
Hecelpts wer i large , 538 cars. September
ehowed eomo sympathetic weakness with
"Whent. It ranged from MHOM'/frc to 19hc
nnd closed a. { ftiade lower at 19'/4619'4c. !
Provisions were Mgh throughout the ses-
elon. 'Packers ' were < re sellers , apparently
on the 'belief ' In a freer hog movement , and
cubstontlal oupport iwns lacking. The mar
ket tended eteitullly downward nnd was de
cidedly weak at the close. At the close
September pork was 12Hc lower at 18.35 ,
Beptembar lard lOc lower at J5.27& and Sep
tember ribs Vfco lower at $5.02 # .

NEW YORK , Aug. 8. The stock markel
was a dull affair for the greater part oi
today , drifting within a narrow range
Some strength was shown by a few lEOhitcd
stocks throughout the day under lnfluenc <
which was not disclosed by any published
news. This persistent strength In some
* pots seemed to arouse the apprehension !
of the bears In the lost , hour of the mar
ket.
ket.Tho manner Jn which prices wern marked
up in the late dealings Indicated n. good
deal of a scramble by the shorts to covei
their contracts and ( awakened more appear
ance of animation and strength than has
been seen in the market for some time ,
The higher prices for Americans made Ir
London were without much effect and thcj
were for the most part nominal and Lon
don sold from 12,000 to 15,000 shares here
after the opening. Strength kept cropping
out at new points as the day progressed.
There was curly strength in Anaconda
and a fe.w of the specialties , but a perloo
of reaction followed under realizing In To
bacco and Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf ,
Then the Minneapolis & St. Louis stocks
rose 6H and 3'i points respectively. There
was a late movement in the coalers , which
lifted them from 1 to 2\4 \ points with a
notable effect on the whole. Stocks show
ing notable gains were Consolidated Gns ,
4H points , and Pacific Coast second pre
ferred , 254 points , Tennessee Coal , Colorado
Fuel , People's Gas , Brooklyn TranMt , Steel
and Wire , American 1/lnseed Oil preferred
and a few less prominent stocks advanced
a point.
A very strong upwiard movement In Sugar
from 169VJ , to I62 i was the decisive Inilu-
ehce in the late strength of the market ,
which closed active and strong at net gains
In nearly all cases. The tone of the money
market was called rather easier , thounh
rates wore not quotably changed. The
hardening tendency of London discounts
still continued , but the money rate at Ber
lin was a fraction lower and sterling ex
change there advanced , showing relaxa
tion of the tension at that point , notwith
standing that the Bank of England con
tinues to make demands upon Berlin for
gold. Sterling exchange here continued Its
downward course and confidence grows that
gold will come from abroad If on emergency
hero demands It ,
The free ofterlnsr of funds from outside
sources In the New York money market In
creases the belief that small demands will
be made upon Now York for money to
move the crops. There were late reports
of weakness In the London market for sil
ver on account of Importations from Chili.
Kansas City , Plttsburff Gulf firsts reacted
In sympathy with the stock. Otherwise
changes were email and mixed. Total Bales ,

some time. Shorts were tiho principal buy

received support by private cables asserting
that actual needs wouW force Manchester

This , together wltth a maintained bull crop
news , started up an Investment buying.
The market was finally steady at a net ad

CATTLE-Tpday's cattle trade was en.
tlrelyto 'the liking of sellers. Every klnc
of cattle was In good demand and buyen
were out early and were not long In olear
Ing the yards of evarything in sight. Prices
were strong all around , the market actlvt
and entirely satisfactory.
lesterday buyers got a good many gras ;
beef steers , but no cornfeds to amount t <
anything , so that today they were out earlj
looking for corn cattle to kill with th (
grissors. The result was that cornfed cat
tle were not only active , -but as a rule lOc
higher. Buyers claimed that the qualitj
was nothing very extra , but the most ol
them sold at $5.50@ > 5.65 just the same , wltfc
a $5.i5 top. Without doubt the market to
day was ait the highest point reached sc
far on cornfed stesrs this eeason.
There were no grass beef steers here today -
day ito amount to anything : . The feeling ,
however , was good and without doubt any
thing desirable of that description would
have brought good , strong prices.
The supply of cows and heifers was very
small today and the few loads offered
broug-ht good , strong prices. Yesterday the
market on cony . tuff , owing to the large
receipts , was a. little low , but today they
put on a littles Which made the market good
and strong as compared with lat week.
There were a few good cornfed cows and
heifers that sold at $4.50 , and another buncli
of pretty fair stuff that brought $4.00. The
most of the offerings were grassDra and not
very good. Bulls and stags brought peed
steady prices.
Stockers and feeders were In active de
mand and changed hands at good , strong
prices. 'Speculators ' were- the principal buy
ers and though they had quite a good many
rattle on hand carried over from the day
before , everyone aeemed to anticipate a
food country demand and were ready to
buy more. The most of the cattle in first
hands sold early. Representative sales :

HOGS Today's hog market was a good
example of what the sellers do not like. Of
ourso the few who happened to be lucky
nough were all right , but as n general
hlng the market was far from satisfactory ,
t opened with a few loads felling at steady
o strong prices , but before half of the hogs
md changed hands It slumped , The large.
> ackers wanted to buy their hoga at $4,30 ®
.35. Salesmen , on the other hand , all wanted
he morning prices , thit is , $ .35-34.40. - Then
: ame one of those disagreeable deadlocks
i-hen neither elde Is willing to slve In. Uuy.
TS bought an easy > eat on the fence and
he market came almost to a standstill.
< ow and then a load would change hands ,
mt the hogs went very slowly toward the
tcales. This state of affairs continued all
he forenoon , the close being very slow and
veak.
The sales riven below will show where the
iog sold , the high sales being the early
iaes. ! It will be noted from the tablt of
iverace prices that the market aj a whol *
a little lower than yesterday. Repn

SHEEP The best way to understand th
condition of the sheep market at this poln
Is to read the most discouraging reports sen
out from Chicago since Friday of last wee
nnd note the slump In prices at that polnl
Shee-p that were forwarded from here sol' '
In Chicago way below what was bid fo
them here and this market has been hlghe
hlght along than Chicago. This week , how
ever , the receipts at this point have bee :
larger and buyers have demanded a con
cession to correspond with the decline a
Chicago. S llers. as a matter of course , hav
-been slow to take off so much at one tim
nnd the result has been a very slow markel
This morning it seemed that buyera wer
determined to wait until sellers got thel
ideas down before trying very hard to d
business nnd In consequence very little trad
Ing took place before midday. It will b
noted that quotations are way lower thai
last week.
