CHICAGO , Aug. O.-Thls 'Ada a day of
covering by shorts In wht end the re
sult was an advance of Wi''t" ' " September
and almost o much in the distutit futures.
Strong cables , disappointing threshing ; re
turns and expectations of n fj-'iwh govern
ment report were factors. Cc Me grains
jvero also strong , corn and oats each ad
vancing about ? c. Provisions lost an early
advance and closed 2910c lower.
Aided by on entirely unlocked for ad
vance of W@-Hd at Liverpool and by eoine
bullish domestic news , wheat started elrong
at an advance of about Vic , September ait
68 iifi8c. During the first 'hour ' there was
considerable buying by outsiders through
commission houses and covering by local
Bhorts. September advanced steadily to
6&c before the turning point was reached.
Besides tflio strength at Liverpool buyers
had to help them small northwest receipts ,
atlnncapolla and Duluth reporting but 121
cars , against 237 last w ek nnd 83 a year
ago. A good many reports came in from
the norBhwest of heavy rains retarding the.
ripening of wlheat and harvesting. Some
complaints of unsatisfactory threshing re
turns were received. The cash demand
showed signs of Improvement , bids for hard :
winter toelhg % o ( better "Mian " yesterday In
unmo cases. There was the usual amount
of realizing on the advance nnd a reaction
iduring the morning carried the price back
ito 68c , but durlnc the afternoon the mar
ket again became strong and nr.ost of the
original advance was recovered. Snow's
'crop report estimated a drop of about 5 per
cent in the government report tomorrow on
the condition of spring wheat. This would
suggest a crop of about 257,000,000 bu. Shorts
covered quite generally and the market
phowcd considerable. strength. Total
( primary receipts wcro 633,000 4m. Atlantic
mort clearances of wheat ind flour aggre
gated 164,000 bu. Chicago receipts -were 148
tars , 32 of contract grade. September ad
vanced to 69'i5i 9c shortly .before the close ,
but reacted on profit taking to 60V&C.
Corn was strong and quite active * . Sym
pathy with wheat was a fnctor , but the
onaln reason for * he strength shown was
Itho contimi-ed excellent cash and shipping
demand and the small country offerings ,
aiecelpts were 'light ' , 288oars. . Competition
was sharp for the little corn offerings.
Shorts covered freely and a. good advance
was scored. September ranged from 30o to
81"ic and closed % c ihigher at 31c.
There was an Improved trade In oats and
the market was strong from the start.
There was some suggestion of September
manipulation and this and the small stocks
nnd good Shipping demand caused free cov
ering by shorts. The selling was in fhe
way of realizing and by scalping longs. Re
ceipts were 214 cars. 'September ' ranged
tfrom 19 % < fi > 19'K < : to C0c and closed % c
higher at 1920a. , , .
'Provisions ' wcro erratic. The market
topened steady and unchanged. Sympathy
wMlh the grain markets and a natural re
action from Tuesday's decline caused a
Kood advance during tthe morning , but there
was a general selling movement on the rally
and during rthe afternoon prices tended
steadily downward. Packers -were free sell
ers The cash demand for meats was poor.
A't ' .the. . close pork was 710c lower at J8.25
CJ8.27 % , September lard 6@7c lowr at
552005.22 % and September ribs a. shade
Bower at $5.00@5.02 % .
Estimated receipts- Thursday : Wheat , < 5
ears : corn , 340 cars ; oats , 285 cars ; hogs ,

NE\V \ YORK , Aug. 9. COTTON-The cot-
( on market today developed ft decided in
crease in the way of speculative interest
nnd prices advanced sharply. At one time
futures were selling at an advance of 16019
points. The market opened flrm , at an ad
vance of 102 points , and 'prices steadily
advanced until the above Jilph point was
reached. The improvement was due to the
favorable character of the foreign cables
generallyy and the confusing yet generally
bullish purport of recent crop accounts. It
was learned that English sentiment re
flected much concern on the part of shorts ,
through fears that the true situation of the
cotton crop in this country had bten rois-
roprteentpd and foreign buying orders also
became a factor in the upward movement.
There were a few periods of liquidation ,
which caused partial reaction. Generally
speaklntr , however , the market was strong
with expectations of a bullish government
report tomorrow. Sentiment became very
bullish an the session advanced , largely on
the accumulating reports of a needed rain
in Texas nnd the southwest. Wnll street.
nnd the south were generous buyers nil
day , the former believed to be for Invotti
ment nccount. The market closed steady at
an advance of 1113 points.

MOVBMBXTS OF STOCKS AND 11OXDS.
Renewal of Anxiety Over TrniiHvnnl
Sltnntlon Forccn n Decline.
NEW YORK , Aug. 9.-/Thero was not
much In the stock market .today. The mar
ket sold off a'b ' the opening on realizing nnd
on itho heavy tone imparted toy sympathy
with London. Sales of securities for Ixm-
don account continued today on n moderate ,
scale. The call money rate in London ,
nevertheless , dropped a fraction today and
sterling cocchange in Paris advanced , but in
Berlin declined. There Is a .renewal of
anxiety over > the Transvaal question , which
had its effect in foreign stock markets and
was a factor in the reflected early depres
sion here. But the local market resisted
this downward tendency nnd was inclined
to move upward 'before ithe end of the first
'hour ' , under the lead of Sugar and in sym
pathy * wtth the rise in St. Paul and Minne
apolis & St. Louis. Consol1ditte d Gas was
strong and American Tobacco forged up
ward again , Its gain being nearly 3 points ,
n.nd wa * held -well near ithe top. Sugar
weakened before the day was over , but
there were enough Individual stocks show
ing flrmnpss to make the 'tone good , not
withstanding the dullness .for the rest of
the day. Some gains were Duluth. South
Shore & Aitlantlc. 2 % ; American Llnsoed Oil
preferred , 2 % ; The United States stocks ,
HI oaeh ; Oregon Navigation , 4V4 ; Pacific
Coast , 2 % , and , Reading and Chinigo &
Eastern Illinois. 1 % each ; General Electric
and Colorado Fuel , 1 point each. ' Atdhison
preferred advanced strongly In the late deal-
inpn. The call money rate -was easier today
under the Influences of offerings from out
of town sources. Chicago , Duluth , Minne
apolis and St. Paul Tvero said to too lend
ing money here and expressions of authori
ties in Chicago as to the plenitude of money
there had a reassuring effect. AVhile 'Chi
cage is Ibuylng commercial paper country
banks through the west are eald to
too buying paper in Chicago.
Raltcs for time loans nnd commercial
paper iwore , however , very flrmly held , In
spite of the easier tendency 1n the call loan
department. A hardening of a fraction In
the rate of sterling exchange was & slgnlll-
cant reflection of 'Uho ' lessened anxiety over
the. money outlook. Exchange has recently
ibeen ( tending persistently downward , not
withstanding the dearness of money in Lon
don on account of the tension here. Gold
imports have up to itoday oe.med the only
resource mgalnst money stringency here in
case of largo demands from the Interior for

portant as indicating the easier condition
here. The presentation of drafts on the
New Ywk subtreasury in payment of the
cold deposited at the San Francisco mint
is expected to bo an [ important factor In re

Wool Market.
BOSTON , Aug. 9. WOOL The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter tomorrow will
ay : There Is a quieter tone to the wool
market , although the volume of sales re
ported shows up quite large , being close to
7,000,000 pounds. A considerable portion of
this business , however , was really accom
plished some time previous to the week un
der review , but the transactions were not
given out until this week. Some houses re
port a fair demand from sonie of the smal
ler mills , which wJll probably continue
now for some time , ; as they were late com-
jng into thie market.r , The situation as far as
prices are concerned is as strong as. . ever.
As to the total stocks of wool In the United
States. It 1s doubtful if they have been as
light since tlve McKlnley tariff was in opera
tion. The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 6,6SG.QOO pounds domestic and
205,000 pounds foreign , making a total of
6,851,000 pounds , against a total of 6,439,000
pounds for the previous week and a total
of 3,339,000 pounds for the corresponding
week last year. Sales since January 1 ,

CATTtiE The market today wcs a good
deal ilke yesterday in that there was an
active demand for all kinds , but prlce-s we're
higher today. The supply of beef steers waa
limited almost entirely to cornfed steers and
there were not many of them. Packers all
wanted supplies and the competition among
the buyers was sharp , so that everything
in sight changed hands at an early hour
and at prices that were a little better than
yesterday. It would be safe to aay that the
market on the desirable kinds of cornfed
steers is up 15@20o for the week. Packers
were calling it a good deal more than that
and they were claiming that the cattle
which they paid $5.7035.75 for today sold
last week at $ > .40@5.45. Among the offerings
today were gome right good cattle , aa high
as $3 being paid for one bunch.
Cows and heifers were in good active de
mand and the pens were cleared at an early
hour. The prices paid were strong as com
pared wilth yesterday. A few cornfed cows
and heifers sold at Ji.OCKSM.20 and there were
grascera at $3.8534.00. The market on bulls
was also In good shape.
Stockers and feeders , which constituted a
corislderable proportion of the" receipts , were-
in actiVe demand at a , little stronger prices
and everything desirable was snapped up
In short order. T8ie speculators were all
active buyers and in addition there were
quite a number of buy rs in from the coun
try. Everything sold at prices that looked
high. Representative sales :

HOGS The market opened this morning
with buyers going about and picking out
a few of the best light and light mixed
loads at about 11.35. The demand for that
kind of hogs at that price , however , was
limited and the big packers all wanted their
line * Jawar. The Dooular bid was
for the general run of the hops. An might
be expected , the market WM alow , as sellerfl
were not ready at first to Uko the prices
offered nd the movement towards the BC.ilca
was far from active. The buyers , howe\cr.
did not ral. o their hands nnd in the end
* ollers had to mnko the concession. It
was late before n clearance , was effected ,
the market closing lower than It openc.il.
It will be noted from the table of average
prices that the market ns a whole was
considerably lower for the two days. Rep

The market on sheep was just about steady ,
but lambs were safely 25c higher. The
