CinCAGO , Aug. 18.pcculatlve wheat
market again basked In the sunshine of an
active cash demand. An advanpc of % c
was floored In September and Uo In Decem
ber. Corn closed Irregular , iiQHc higher
lor September , but barely steady for'de
ferred futures. Oats closed a shade higher.
iProvlslonn advanced 2V41Sc.
Liverpool , always an Influence on local
wheat trading , showed an opening decline
of Vid , which was unlocked for after yes
terday's advance here and had the result ol
depressing prices about Uo at the opening ,
September starting at l lVtOTho sell
ing pressure , however , came almost en
tirely from small speculators , nnd was ot
'n. local nature. It waa not heavy enough
to long depress prlcea and eoon after the
opening the market began to rise and for
the remainder of the session showed con-
nldcrablo firmness. Reports of a big cash
business done yesterday , Industriously de
nied by the bear crowd , were confirmed to
day , and the Influence of the cash demand
was augmented by further heavy bids to
day. The actual amount of business done
could not bo ascertained , as shippers would
not give out their transactions until freight
irates had been secured , but rumors of largo
quantities- worked were so thick that they
Jiad a marked effect on speculation.
Heavy rains were reported In the north
west and apprehension ot wheat sprouting
nnd being otherwise damaged Increased the
demand. Another nnd more bullish feature
of the northwest news was the continued
disappointing "threshing reports , which
Btrcngthened the belief that re
cent crop estimates were too
large. Commission houses had numerous
bids from the cast , based on foreign de
mand , but the actual article was hard to
fcet , elevator people refusing to let go.
The cash business late In the day was put
at 320,000 bu. , but It Is questionable If this
nmount was worked. St. I ouls nnd locil
ehorta bought hoavlly at times and this
ibulled the market , bringing the smaller fry
to cover. FrofcHslonal longs with a belief
In still higher prices also took considerable
September advanced to 72c , well above
calls nnd a good deal of realizing was
done at nround that price , resulting In a
reaction to 71$471c. "Minneapolis " and
Duluth receipts were 212 cars , against 116
Jastweek and 327 a year ago. Chicago re
ceipts -were El cars , 6 of contract grade.
Total primary receipts Tvcre 621,000 bu. ,
ngalnut 605,000 bu. last year. The fact that
primary receipts are now dally under last
friar's waa no email factor In the strength.
Atlantic port clearances of wheat ana
Hour amounted to 783,000 bu. Northwest
Flocks will probably decrease l.BOO.OOO bu. ,
and a decrease In the world's visible was
looked for. The demand for September was
Inuch greater than for the more deferred
ifuturos , and December and May In consequence
quence showed but little advance. Septem
ber closed firm at 71 % ® > 71c.
Corn was firm for September , barely
eteady for later months , and dull for all.
fit was mostly a scalpers' market. The
ntrongth of September was duo to the
flmall receipts , the strength of wheat and
the good cash and export demand. Re
ceipts were 108 cars. September ranged !
from 30SK50-io 'to 31o and closed > Mo
Ihlgher at 31c.
Oats showed more activity than usual.
.Tha market in its essential features was a
counterpart of corn , firm , for September ,
but barely steady for aiay. There was an
( excellent cash demand and thl1 * and the
Btrenffth of wheat supported September.
There was considerable jrelling at top
figures. Receipts were 007 cars. September
ranged from 19Jc to 20c , and closed a shade
( higher at WJiSKOa.
( Provisions were strong ivlth a somewhat
( broader market , prices advancing all
around. A good consumptive demand was
reported by packers and this was the basis
of the speculative strength. Lack of offer
ings was a feature. At the close September
pork was 60 "higher at $8.32 % ; September
Hard , 2i4o higher nt a > .22c ; September ribs ,
CHQCc higher at $8.10 < 5JG.12Vi.
Estimated receipts for Saturday : "Wheat ,

MnrUrt In Acvtlve anil Strong nnil tin
DenllriRN Were Dlntrllnltcil.
NEW YORK , Aug. 18.-Today's stool *
market was active ami strong , the dealing :
were remarkably well distributed nnd the
strength was more generally diffused thar
at any time during the week. There was
j an evident accession of outside Interest In
the market In the shape of orders through
commission houses , as was to be expected
after the sharp rise of the last few days ,
Prices were pretty well marked up nt tht
start and selling to realize WAS on quite n
liberal scale after the opening hour.
The offerings were well absorbed , liow-
ever , nt small expense to values , the mar
ket fcelng sustained meanwhile by the
notable upward movement of some usually
obscure stocks. After this first reaHelnp
had , been digested there was a. breathing
spell and prices then mounted to the best
ot the day. In the late afternoon , however ,
the burden of realizing overcame the mar
ket and prices yielded all around.
A number of the. recent leaders lost
practically all ot their earlier gains , notably
fhe Baltimore & Ohio stocks , Southern nnd
Central Pacific and Southern railway pre
ferred , which rose early from 1 to 2 points ,
The hlgh-prlced specialties and the Blocks
of local corporations were subjected to re
newed 'bear ' pressure nnd showed notable
declines , especially Tobacco and Consoli
dated Gas , which declined 2',4 and 3 points ,
respectively. A fraction was knocked oft
prices all through the list and net gains In
the general list were brought below a point.
A very substantial rise In prices remains ,
nevertheless , gains being quite generally
diffused through the list. The grangers nnd
Pacifies , the southwesterns , the coalers nnd
a number of soft coal roads all have gains
to shoTV approaching a point. Louisville
continued to bo taken on a very large scale
and was pushed up at one time to 81 > i.
Southern railway preferred declined on
realizing with the publication of the divi
dend announcement and the statement of
finances of the year. ( Minneapolis & St.
Louis made a brilliant advance of 6H , the
second preferred rising 2H- Iowa Central
preferred , the Evansvllle & Terre Haute
stocks , the new Hocking Valley stocks ,
Hocking Coal and Illinois Central were
some of fhe usually Inactive stocks which
gained notably from 1 to 3\4 \ points. The
Iron and steel stocks lagged throughout , ex
cept Tennessee Coal , which moved upward
again to near the high point. Late realiz
ing was In part due to n revulsion in the
recent confidence over the money market
outlook , in spite of the fact that call
money worked lower today.
The known movement of money for the
week Indicated a net loss In cash to the
banks of over $700,000. Last week's large
gain In cash Is now generally attributed to
some special operation and some anxiety Is
felt lest the. hidden causes which drained
the cash account of the banks on previous
weeks may 'have ' ibeen at work again. The
ecse er money In New York continues tobe
duo to offerings ot outside funds. London
bought stocks In this market today and the
fact that the London exchange would bo
closed tomorrow had some Influence on the
late reaction In prices here. The market
closed rather heavy with only a few stocks
marked up a fraction In the final dealings.
The was a very large demand for South
ern 'Paclflc ' 4s at or above 84. The South
western mortgages as a rule were strong

NEW YORK , Aug. 18. COTTON The
cotton market opened with prices higher
toy 6 to 7 points on strong early cables and
continued -bad - crop accounts. Covering was
a feature of the early session , but later
cables showed pronounced weakness in the
Englisti cotton market and prices declined
10 points under active selling1 pressure from
all sources , led. however , by one or two
rainfall four-hundredths of an Inch. The
market was exceptionally uneven , although
the general scope of the fluctuations was
not so great as heretofore. Again the mar
ket took a generally upward tendency on
renewed covering and some buying for
Investment account following a telegram
from Texas saying that only showers had
visited some sections of that state with < 1i0
rainfall four-hundredth of an Inch. The
final phases of the market reflected a very
nervous sentiment , with Che close at a net
gain of 2 to 3 points.

CATTLE-Arrlvals of all kinds of cat.le
were light today and the most of the offer
ings were taken in good season so that the
yards wer * practically cleared at an early
hour. The few cornfod steers here sold at
good , steady to strong prices , the best here
going at J5.60. Buyers evidently "wanted
them and It did not take them very long
to pick up everything to be had. While
cornfed cattle were selling so well the feelIng -
Ing on grass beef steers was not so good.
The fact Is that this market has been too
ihlgh on grass cattle as compared with
oiner markets and buyers naturally want to
get It Into line. Only a few grass beef
steers wore on sale , some fairish going at
J4.55 to a local packer.
Cows and belters were active and fully
steady and some that were held over from
yesterday brought more money than was
offered for them yesterday. Veal calves
were In demand , good ones going at Jfi.OO.
Bulls and stags sold about the same as
yesterday.
Good feeders were In demand at Just
about steady prices , but the common kinds
of cattle of all weights were-very slow sale.
Holden of such complained In some In
stances that It was hard work to get a
bid. The fact Is there have been too many
common cattle here this week and they
have not been moving off Into the country
very rapidly and speculators are not
anxious for them. It was also the latter
part of the weeK and speculators had a
good many cattle on hand with a fair pros
pect of having to carry some of them over
until next week. Representative sales :

HOGS Receipts were again light today ,
which was a bull argument , and in addi
tion Chicago came 6c higher. The rt ujt
was that the market at this point opened
active and lOc higher on all kinds. Buyers
evidently wanted the hogs and they wen
not long in clearing the yards.
Heavy packing hog * sold nt $4,40 am
heavy and medium weight mixed loads a
* 4.42iif4.45. The lighter mixed load !
brought S4.47H04.&S , with some good llchi
hoes nt $4.60. Theft ? price * were all jusi
about lOc higher than yesterday ,
It will be noted from the tnble of average
prices above that th * advance today pui
the market back to the high point of th (
tear , nlso that the hogs today sold 15 <
higher than a week ago nnd a shade hghci !
than on Monday of the present \scck.
Another fact may be. gleaned from th (
tables at head ot column , and that Is thai
the receipts this week have been light as
compared with last week , which Is due ap
parently to the break In prices the middle
of the week. Representative sales :
SHEBP There were no sheep reported In
the yards today and nothing to make n
test of the market. The feeling among
buyers was all right and hud there been
anything desirable on sale It Is safe to say
that It would have sold at about Chicago
prices.
The receipts of sheep this week have been
very light , as will be noted from the table
ut head of column.
The report has gone out Into the country
that fat sheep brought In here could not be
reahlpped to another market without being
nipped. This Is an error and yasterday In
structions arrived from Washington not to
require clean sheep Intended for some other
market to be dipped. This leaves the ruling
the same aa It always was that Is. sheep
brought In here and sold to be taken back
Into the country nnd put on feed will have
to be dipped , but none others.
