CHICAGO , Aug. 22.-Soptembcr llqulda-
tlon was the feature of wheat trading to-
day. It was heavy enough to cause a dc-
cllno of % c at one time. Renewed rains
In the northwest alarmed shorts and re-
Bulled In the recovery of all but Ho of t'ic '
decline. December was firmer and closed
> io higher. Country lltnildatlon cut Uo ofl
the price of corn. Oats held tip well and
closed about % o higher. Provisions made
unimportant changes both ways.
Some weakness was shown at the opening
Jn wheat. Hoth the. September and De
cember options opened about Uo lower and
Bhowcd a declining tendency. The weakness -
ness was not BO much the result of beat
news as of the general apathy of trading.
Speculators appeared to bo In the market
mpro from a sense , of duty than from the
hope of securing profits or saving losses ,
nnd the Ilrst half hour's trading was re-
niarkably small. Then a pronounced Sep
tember liquidation movement eel In , which
Jasted well Into the afternoon , and which
resulted In widening the spread between
the Septemhr rnd Decmner opttlons to 2
fi CiGVic. A good deal of the selling of. Sep
tember was done by the northwest , ap
l parently against liberal country receipts ,
! nnd though primary receipts continued to
! bo Ktnallor In amount than those of last
li year , expectations of an Increase bad some
effect on local speculators and broadened
fr the liquidation.
Attention was also directed to the rela
tively greater weakness of wheat at New
York than here. There were some bids
ifor cash wheat here , but prices were about
J/ic out of line as a rule , and little bitsl-
mesi was done. The seaboard reported
only moderate engagements for export.
Clearances were 750.0UO bit. Minneapolis and
Dtiluth receipts were 2SO cars , against 203
Jast week and 571 a year ago. Chicago re-
celcpts were 121 cars , four of contract grade.
Total primary receipts were G2I.OOO bu. ,
ngalnst 853,000 last year. During the after-
moon the tone of tho. market changed. The
September price had been forced below put
figures and the tendency to cover shorts
was strengthened by reports of renewed
rains In the northwest , and by foreign advices -
vices that the drouth In India was worse
than ever. September liquidation ceased
and the market took on considerable
Strength lain In the. session , resulting In a
recovery of nearly all the early loss. Brnd-
Btreet's reported the world's visible de
crease at 1,753,000 bu. The seaboard late
In the day reported tlfty-two loads for ex
port This helped In the advance. Sep
tember opened at TlTMiTOic , declined to
70c and reacted to 71'c. . where It closed.
December opened at 73H073 > lc , declined to
73M < c nnd reacted to and closed at 734c ; , an
udvanco of % c.
Corn was weak , especially so for Sep
tember , In which there was a good deal of
Important liquidation. Elevator people and
receiving houses generally were sellers
ngalnst liberal country acceptances. West
ern crop advices were favorable and local
receipts were large. 618 cars. There was
n good rally from the bottom on covering
'by ' shorts and In sympathy with the late
flrmncss of wheat. September ranged from
nO8(13114c , nnd closed Vtc lower at 31c.
December closed unchanged at 2SaO.
Oats were firm , considering the decline
In other grain markets and the unfavorable
conditions affecting oats. Receipts were
Hieavy. S31 cars , and country offerings were
liberal. The cash demand , however , was
Rood , nnd this was Influential enough to
( hold the speculative market steady. TradIng -
Ing was narrow all day. September ranged
tfrom 19c to 19T4020C. nnd closed a shade
Qilghcr at 195f20c. December closed Uc
ailghcr at 19c.
Provisions were extrmcly dull and prices
changed but little. The tendency during :
most of the session was downward , the re-
Bult of lower hog prices. There was a
moderate amount of September liquidation
done. 1'rlccs llrmed up during the after
noon , the market closing steady for pork
nnd lard nnd a little easier for ribs. At
the close September pork was a Bhado
( higher at $ S.22',4 , September lard a siyirto
higher ftt J3.20 nnd September ribs a shade
lower at $5.07 % .

NEW YORK , Aug. 22.-A fierce conflict
raged all day today between opposing spec
ulative interests on the Stock exchange.
The Industrial specialties were the chosen
Held of battle and the most violent con
test raged about Brooklyn Transit , as lias
been the case for many days past. This
stock showed evidence of support nt the
opening of the stock market and got nt one
time over a point above last night's clos
ing level. In face of this support and a
rally In International Paper from Its se
vere loss of yesterday the bears turned
their attention to other stocks which
seemed for the moment to offer a mo're
vulnerable point of attack.
Sugar dropped almost Immediately 214 on
account of the cut of the price of refined
sugar by the company and the meeting of
it by competing concerns. Steel nnd Wire
lost 2 points on the failure of the listing
committee of the Stock exchange to act
favorably on the application of the com
p any for the admission or the stock to the
li isted department of the exchange. Later
In the day Manhattan and Consolidated
Gas were added to the objective points of
the bears.
All these stocks were so severely handled
ns to check very materially the disposition
to buy railroad stocks , which showed Itself
In continued force during the early hours
of the trading. Much has been hoped by
the friends of Brooklyn Transit from the
publication of a statement of the com
pany's finances and estimates ot earning
power under the recent consolidation.
The statement when published proved to
be obscure , and the estimates were so far
from satisfactory that a perfect deluge of
stocks for 'both accounts was poured upon
the market , carrying the price down by
successive stages to U above par , an ex
treme drop of nearly 6 points. Only the
most determined support checked the de
cline at that point , enormous Individual
blocks being taken before the rally was ef
fected.
The stock was lifted again to 102 % and
closed at 102 % . The demoralization in
Brooklyn Transit was shaded In lesser de
grees by Sugar , which dropped an extreme
6i ; Manhattan , which lost at one time
nearly 4 points , nnd Steel and Wire , com
mon and preferred. Federal Steel , People's
Gas and Metropolitan Street Railway ,
which declined from 1 to 2 points. The
extreme- weakness of the specialties was
Ignored for a time in the rallrbad list ,
where there were early advances In Den
ver & Rio Grande , Norfolk & Western , the
Reading stocks , Baltimore .t Ohio and
Wheeling and Lake Erie second preferred ,
the latter rising over 2 points.
The. continued and violent decline in
Brooklyn Transit caused sympathetic de
pression throughout the market , earlier
gains being mostly wiped out and a num
ber of standard railroad stocks , Including
the grangers , dropping a point or over be
low last night's prices. The rate for call
money rose to 4 per cent late In the day ,
probably not without manipulation , tout
quickly yielded to 36 , near which It had
ruled nearly all day. The final rally In
Brooklyn Transit afforded relief to the
whole market and losses were partly re
trieved , the most active specialties recov
ering from 1 'to 2 points.
There was a notable advance late In the
day In the Norfolk & Western stocks after
the common had reacted a point with the
general list. These stocks show net gains
of 2 % for the common and Itt for the pre
ferred. London sold about 20,000 shares on
balance In this market.
The bonoj market was active , but changes
were small and irregular. Total sales , par
value , $2,678,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on
bid quotations.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The markets
here were harder in tone today. Paris was
tranquil and Transvaal developments bet
ter. Americans were fairly active , but of
Irregular movement , closing at the best or.

The bank bought 160,000 gold in bars and
19,000 In German coin. Silver Is still weaken
on American sales. The bottom Is thought
to have been reached.

NEW YORK , Aug. 'JS.-COTTON.-Great
excitement prevailed again on the Cotton
t-xchang-e. Transactions were upon tin
enormous scale. Private cables indicated a
great change in foreign sentiment regarding
the cotton crop outlook In this country.
They made a very bullish supplement to
the extraordinary bullish advices which atone
ono ttmo Indicated a net advance of
fi'/iSil'/id for futures , and yfd advance for
spot cotton at Liverpool. Private cables ex
plained the small sales of spot cotton in
the English market , stating that they were
duo .to the arbitrary position of holders
who were being Impressed by the drouth
accounts from the southwest.
The first call caused excitement with prices
10015 points higher. The upward move
ment would have been more marked but
for the heavy liquidation and disposition to
take profits. Selling for the latter purposes
subsequently caused a reaction of S@ > 10
points , when the business proceeded on a
JlossaI < scale within a narrow scope ot
variations. By noon the trading level was
l > 011 points above the closing figures of
yesterday , the subsequent course of the
market was irregular. At the highest level
of the day prices showed an advance of
150)18 points on yesterday's closing figure.
At the lowest there was a decline of 305
points. The excitement simmered down
Homcwhat in the afternoon , but a feeling of
feverish excitement marked the course of
the market to a greater or less extent
throughout the session. Futures closed
barely steady : August , $5.73 ; Septem

CATTLE Receipts were large again to
day , making the run for the two days of the
week much larger than for corresponding
days of previous weeks. The most of the
cattle here today were westerns , as was the
case yesterday , but the proportion of good
cattle among them was much smaller today.
Among the offerings were some prime
cornfcd steers which sold at $6.00 , the top
price of the season , showing that that kind
of cattle are Just as high as any time this
season. The demand for cornfed cattle was
geode and the offerings changed hands in
good season at just about steady prices all
around. Only a few western grass steers
good enough for the killers were on sale
and sell rs were asking pretty strong prices
for them. Owing to the light receipts of
that kind the market was certainly < no
lower.
Cows and heifers were In fair demand and
the most of the offerings changed hands In
good season , but the tendency of the market
was a little easier. Yesterday they hit
cows hard , and for the two days It Js safe
to call the market 10015c lower.
A very large proportion of all the cattle
in the yards consisted of western feed
ers , many of them on the trashy order. The
.market on the good , heavy Ceeders of
which there are very few to bo had , was
not much changed , as they have been in
good demand right along , while the supply
has been small. Light feeders and yearlings
are Blow , In fact they are always slow this
early In the season , as the country demand
for that kind cannot be expected to de-
.velop much strength until farmers are
ready for cattle to place on fall or winter
feed. In consequence of the moderate
country demand and the liberal receipts of
1 that kind of cattle the market has been
steadily working lower. Today's market
was all of 5@10c lower , and it Is safe to
quote light stockers as 25c lower than last
week. Representative sales :

HOGS The market opened with an active
demand for Rood light nnd ll&ht mixed
hogs und such loads as pleased buyers of
that kind brought fully steady or even
strong prices. The market was fairly ac
tive on that kind nnd a large proportion of
the light loads changed hands In good sea
son.
son.Tho feeling was a llttlo weak on heavy
packing hops , as Chicago reported a weaker
market and the trading was not very active
at lirst. The packers were a little bearish
and It looked for a time as If the market
would be easier on that kind. Still pack
ers evidently wanted the hogs , and when
the trading was once under way the move
ment was reasonably active and the pens
were cleared in good season. The prices
paid were just about the same ns prevailed
yesterday , ns will be noted from the. sales
given below.
It will be noted from the table of average
prices above that the hogs today did not
sell very'much different from what they
did a week ago. Representative sales :

today and more feeders. Some of the sheep

The demand on the part of the packers
seemed to be fairly good and the market on
desirable muttons , both sheen and lambs ,
could bo quoted as unchanged or steady.
Afl was the case yesterday , there was a
good deal of sorting to bo done , so that It
was late before the pens were cleared.

I'opulUt I'roiioundn Pertinent llucrjr.
OMAHA. Aug. 21. To the Editor of The
Bee : "Did you see Walter Molso ? " If nil V un
of Dr. Carl Louis Perln's predictions are on
a line with the nno In which ho foretold the
re-election of Mr. Poynter wo certainly
sympathize with tboso people who patronize
the doctor.
Every man who takes any Interest In the
gnmo of politics kn6ws that Poynter'a
chances for succeeding hlmdclf areas ono to
Infinity. Ho was nominated in the first
place by a mere accident nnd was not ac
cepted by the democrats until ho assumed
the role of a sycophant nnd went before
their convention nnd told them that ho was
the son of parents born In Kentucky nnd
was naturally opposed to prohibition. The
compact entered Into between Poynter nnd
the whisky men. ns far ns Poynter Is con
cerned , has been lived up to religiously.
Never elnco Nebraska has been admitted
Into the union has a governor been so com
pletely controlled by the rum element aa
Is Mr. Poynter.
The power , not behind , but actually In
the chair Is "Colonel" ( God save the mark )
Walter Moisc , the king pin of the
gambling and whisky clement of the city
of Omaha.
"Did you BCD Walter Molsa ? "
This Is the question put to every candi
date for a position from Douglas county by
Governor Poynter. . What do you religious
people , you prohibitionists , you populists for
principle think of a governor who Is no
completely In the1 hands of this whisky
king that no applicant for plnco will bo
given consideration unless ho has the en
dorsement of King Alcohol Moiso ?
I know what you think , and what Is the
sentiment throughout the state , viz. , that
n good farmer was spoiled to mole Ne
braska's poorest governor up to date , nnd
say that Is saying a whole lot. When Mr.
Poynter vetoed the bill appropriating J2.000
to investigate state officers and their ineth-
ods of doing business , what was ho afraid
of ? Was ho nfrald that the populist
management of our state affairs would riot
stand the light of day ? From recent de \
velopments It would seem that that was
the conclusion reached.
The Idea of ( "Nebraska's best governor )
Mr. Holcorab putting J21.80 per month for
forty-eight months of the people's money
down In his broadcloth that he was not
entitled to Is nothing more 'than you could
expect from n man who had earned a live
lihood by loaning money on spotted cows
and boar pigs.
The supreme court commission bill ,
which Mr. Poynter had determined to ap
prove , Is another Instance of his vacillating.
Ho lord Judge Neville ho believed It would
bo poor politics to veto this bill , but the
Judge convinced him that anything that
would down the enemy was good politics ;
hence the veto.
During the last campaign It was given
out cold that Mr. Poynter was a good
populist. So good. In fact , that ho would
accept no favors from the railroads what
ever. This may or may not bo true. At
without fear of contradiction
my rate I can say
tradiction that Mr. Poynter had In his pos
session during the campaign annual pauses
on tbo Union Pacific and Fremont , Elkhorn -
horn & Missouri Valfey. Of course I
ilon't say that he used them , but you can
jraw your own Conclusions.

both the American Writing Paper company ,
the corporation recently formed by tbo con
solidation of many writing paper concerns ,

later. The advance Is attributed to the ia-
