CHICAGO. Aug. IS. Weak cables , ab-
lonco of cash demand and good spring
tvhcat crop prospects broke wheat badly to-
flay , sending the September prlco down
lo from yesterday , while deferred futures
were even -weaker. Coarse grains were
weak with wheat , corn declining Vtc and
oats HSVic ; provisions declined DQ7i4c.
Wheat opened at a sharp decline , Septem
ber at THifi/rlVic , compared with yesterday's
closing prlco of 71c. A further small de-
cllno took place In the next hour , but sell
ing , though continuous , was not especially
heavy during the morning and Intermittent
covering Bumced to cause a number o
Btnall rallies. The main factor was the
weakness of Liverpool. That market not
only Ignored the advance here yesterday ,
but showed an early decline of U < 1. which
was Increased to V4d before the day was
over. A good many bad threshing reports
were received from the northwest , but not-
xvlthstandlng estimates on the spring
wheat crop , put the total at 197,000,000 bush
els for the three big wheat states. As the
government estimate was but 163,000,000
bushel * , this had a good deal of effect.
f.ne. weather wa also reported In the
wheat belt and this made Hellers of the
northwest crowd. The decline was rcn-
tlercd the moro easy from the fact that
during the recent advance shorts had gen
erally covered and bulls loaded up and In
consequence attempts to liquidate were at
tended with Homo difficulty. This fact ,
however , was not driven home on the big
holder * until late In the afternoon.
The prlco meanwhile gradually declined
to 70c. Late In the session new bear fac
tors presented themselves In the shape or
a. poor cash demand here and an equally
poor export demand at the seaboard. The
continued apathy of the foreigners Is hav
ing more and more affect on the local mar
ket. An aggressive bear movement was
Btnrtcd with clipped fractions off the price
rapidly until 70Vfc for September had been
reached , when liquidation dropped off to a ,
considerable extent. Bradstreet's report
showed a visible decrease of I,5o2,000 bush
els , but even these largo figures had little
effect. .Minneapolis . and Duluth reported re
ceipts of 203 cars , compared with 199 last
week and 245 a year ago. Chicago receipts
were ninety-live cars , four of contract
crado. Total primary receipts amounted to
$12,000 $ bushels , against 653,000 bushels. At
lantic port clearances of wheat and flour
amounted to 2 o,000 bushels. There was
lomo selling by room traders on expectation
of lower cables tomorrow. September ral
lied to 701ic and closed with sellers at th.it
Corn showed some steadiness early ,
though opening lower with wheat. A good
demand for September from shippers against
Bales of cash for Immediate shipment
supported the market. The cash business
was reported around 00,000 bushels and the
Beaboard reported seventy loads taken for
export. Crop prospects were very favorable
and cables lower. The market broke readily
when wheat showed extreme weakness ,
prices for all options declining. Receipts
were 457 cars. September ranged from 30c
to 30c and closed Vic lower at 30V c.
Oats was dull speculatlvelywith a nar
row range of prices. Prices In the main
tended toward a lower level. In sympathy
with other grain markets. Elevator people
were sellers. The cash demand was poor.
Heavy receipts 657 cars had some effect.
September ranged from 19V4c to 19 aQ19iC
nnd closed VMWic lower at 19V4Ifl9c. (
Provisions were fairly active and weak.
There was extensive September liquidation ,
mostly by longs , whllo October ribs were
pold heavily. The demand was largely
from shorts nnd buying from that class of
traders caused some reaction from the bet
tom. At the close September pork was So
Jower at $ S.2o. September lard 5Q7V4c lower
nt $5.15 nnd September ribs 7ic lower at
Estimated receipts for Wednesday :

hogs , 25,000 head.

Hear ninnont In In Evidence on th
\iMr York Mitrkrl.
NEW YORK , Aug. 16. The bear clement
was In evidence nil day today In the stock
market and came off with flying colors.
They made a vigorous attack In the mornIng -
Ing and by 2 o'clock seemed to have ex
hausted their efforts , The average level of
prices , Including the majority of standard
stocks , rose at that time to the best prices
of the day In sympathy with the sensational ,
advance of American Tobacco , In the last
half hour of the trading the bears concentrated - '
trated a vigorous aseault upon the Brooklyn I
Transit. They drew that stock down an I
extreme 6V4 to 10S',4 and effectually broke
the market , successfully overriding nil ef
forts to support values ,
The Industrial specialties suffered most
severely and the reaction In the railroads
reached a point In only a few case ? . A few
of the railroad stocks which had shown
early strength succeeded In retaining not
gains. In the list of Industrials outside of
the tobacco stocks not a single stock of Im
portance retained any net gain.
American Steel and Wire was tinder pres
sure early In the day on account of disap
pointment over a published statement pur
porting to give the financial condition and
the earnings of the company , but the stock
had recovered all but % c of the early IOFS
when It was attacked again nnd fell with
Brooklyn Transit to the low point of the
day , 3Helow last night. All the iron and
steel stocks were affected In sympathy and
Tennessee Coal dropped an extreme 3',4 and
closed at last night's prlco , after having
been 2U above In the morning. People's
Gas also showed keen sympathy with
Brooklyn Transit nnd lost nn extreme 2 % .
Sugar was a sufferer and was knocked
down 314 points.
The volume of sales at the low point was
small except for Brooklyn Transit and
Steel and Wlro and there was a quick and
violent rally in Susnr , People's Gas nnd
Tennessee Coal on a rush to cover by the
shorts. Brooklyn Transit's net loss is 4 %
and Steel nnd Wire 3 points. Manhattan
was very weak In sympathy with Transit
In the early dealings , but It had rallied
quite strongly and loses l i net. The most
conspicuous movement of the day was that
of American Tobacco. The stock reacted
14 before the late raid on Brooklyn Tran
sit , but moved up strongly In the very face
fif the bear raid to near the top llgurcs.
The day's takings of the stock were on nn
enormous scale and Its net gain Is 6 points.
The Continental Tobacco stocks were strong
In sympathy.
There was a notable upward movement
In the Iowa Central stocks on talk of heavy
earnings. They show gains of 1 and 2 % ,
respectively. Colorado Midland prfeerred Is
up nearly a point. There was a period of
strength also for Kansas & Texas preferred
and Southern and Central Paclflc , but their
gains were almost wiped out In the late
decline. The boldness of the bears was due
to conviction that since the market refused
to go up yesterday on the much Improved
conditions of the local money market noth
ing else Is In sight likely to give an upward
Impetus to prices. The recent activity In
various pools which have taken on heavy
lines of various stocks In spite of the gen
eral apathy of the market also made the
market vulnerable to determined attack.
A jump In the Berlin discount today of'z
per cent and the hardening tendency of
London discounts had a depressing effect.
There was a holiday on the Paris bourse ,
but the course of events In France arouses
anxiety In the financial world. Call money
worked easier In New York , but there is
Btlll a belief that the money thus placed
will be needed soon In other channels. The
creation of a largo short Interest , of course ,
has strengthened the technical condition of
the stock market. There was heavy real
izing In Kansas & Texas seconds , Kansas
City , Pittsburg & Gulf flrsts after erratic
variations closed 2 per cent higher. Prlco
changes generally were small and Irregu
lar. Total 5-iles , par value , $2,801,000.
Government bonds were unchanged.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The markets

NEW YORK , Aug. 15. COTTON More
pacific conditions prevailed at the cotton
exchange today , yet the market was still
very active. Nellt's cotton crop report ,
forecasting the possibility of a 12,000.000-bale
crop , produced' ' some effect on the local
market through Its Influence on the cables ,
which declined 303' d at Liverpool. The
Liverpool decline was ascribed by private
cable chiefly to Nelll's circular. The mar
ket opened steady , with a decline of from
C to 8 points. Prices , however , were soon
back again to yesterday's closing figures
on buying for Wall street account and cov
ering on a large scale. The effects of Nelli's
estimate -were felt -when this demand sub
sided and the market again turned weak
and prices fell away sharply. The govern
ment chart failed to indicate any sign of
rain In the southwest and Texas reports
continue bad. Despite this general outside
support \vas .withdrawn and for the re
mainder of the session local sentiment was
exceedingly nervous. At one time In the
afternoon the net decline was a matter of
12R14 points , due principally to liquidation
following the appearance of outside selling
orders. The market was finally steady ,
with a net decline of 10@13 points.
Metal Market.
( NEW YORK , Aug. 15. METALS Tin
itook a sudden upturn in the local market

CATTLE Prime cornfed steers sold at
steady prices this morning , some going as
high as $6. Anything In the way of cornfed
cattle that was not prime was not only
slow , but lOITlSe lower. If they were
pretty good but not prime they may In some
cases have sold within S lOc of yesterday's
market. Common kinds were rotten. The
cause for the drop In values was apparently
the largo run and lower prices at all mar
ket points. At this point the offerings of
cornfed steers was the largest In a good
many days.
There appeared to be an active demand
for range beef steers and the market on
that kind was fairly active and steady.
The offerings were quite large , but none
too large to supply the demand , the most
of the cattle changing hands In good season.
There were probably twenty or twenty-
flve loads of cows and heifers In the yards ,
practically all westerns , and the market on
that kind was also slow. Some of the cattle
did not come In until late , so that they were
not ready to show very early and buyers
were backward about getting down to busi
ness. The most desirable kinds sold about
steady end buyers claimed that they were
all steady , but In spots the market was
weak.
There were quite a good many etockers
nnd feeders In the yards , especially lighter
or thin cattle , and In addition to the fresh
receipts there were a good many cattle in
the hands of speculators. Good heavy
feeders , and , In fact , the most desirable of
the offerings , sold at about yesterday's
prices , but the market was lOc lower on
the general run of light cattle and ! n some
cases 15c lower. Representative sales :

HOGS-The market opened with good light
and light mixed hoga In good demand at
an advance of about 6c. Such hogs as
would please the light hog buyers gold
early , but the demand for that kind was
limited and orders were soon Illled. A few
right good light loads averaging right
around 200 poundi brought t . Good
light mixed loads sold At $4.74431.50. and n.
few medium weights that were smooth nnd
nice brought $4.W > .
Heavy packers were slow , and It was late
before very much business was done In
that line. The packers were receiving ad-
vlcM of n weak market In Chicago on
packing hogs and In consequence they were
very bearish and were unwilling to put on
anything , whllo sellers wore all a-klng an
advance over yesterday's prices.
The heaviest packers wanted to buy heavy
mixed hogs that brought $ I.4017 < .4214 yester
day at $4.40 today , and they bought a good
share of them at that price In the end.
The big heavy packing hogs they wanted
at $4.35j4.37H. and as sellers were unwilling
to drop'b-elow tht $4.40 mark the trade was
very slow and draggy , especially toward
the last. Representative sale.1 :
SHEEP Receipts were liberal this morn
ing and the demand fair. Lambs especially
were In good demand nnd the market was
steady on that kind of stuff. There was one
four-load bunch of good Utah lambs which
brought $6.10 , with seventy-live head out
at $4.00.
Sheep were stow and a llttlo easier owing
to the reported lower market at Chicago.
