A moro Important consideration was the email world's ship ment * and moro particularly these from JlusHa , whoso largo exports last week were an Important factor In causing a downward turn to the market. Russia this weak reported shipment * of 499.000 bu. , tlio total world's shipments being 6.739,000 bu. Northwest receipts wore somewhat larger , but not enough so to bearlahly affect the market. Minneapolis and Duluth reported arrivals of 380 cars , against 327 last week nnd 6S2 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 116 cars , 23 cara of contract grade. Shorta Wtro the best buyers * nt the opening. Northwest and ether oulsldo markers wcr wcxikcir than this and some pressure was put on the market by professional ? and elevator people for this reason , which caused a temporary docllno. September opened Wiio higher at 70o and de clined to 70 c. December opened % 0'Ao higher at 72i73c nnd eased off to 72- % ; $ 72'/4c. The decline was slopped by the an nouncement that Hie visible supply hod de creased 1,517,000 bu. nnd the slackening in the Boiling i > r asiiro coming at a time when Shorts were covering , prices ad vanced again , September gelling lo 70 % ® 71c nnd December lo 73c. Tht-so proved Iho high polnln of the day. A period of comparative Inactivity followed , but before noon the market turned de cidedly weak on the reporlcd arrival of EDO'cnrn of now wheat at Dululh and by much moro favorable threshing returns from the northwest. Elevator people and professional boars were not Blow to take ad vantage ot this and pounded the mar-1 Hot persistently from then unlll the end of the session. December 'finally declined to 71c and September to 70c. There was a tendency on the part of shorts to cover nt these llKures nnd a slight rally occurred , but the cash market here was poor. At lantic port clearances amounted to 268,000 , bu. Total primary receipts were 779,000 bu. , compared with 1,281,000 bu. last year. New York put the export engagements at 70 loads. September closed at 70@70Ho and December at 72c bid. Corn was weak ifor September , but steady for December at > J May.

Corn reports continued favorable. Receipts were1 619 cars. September ranged from 30031c to 31319Jc and closed 4c lower at 31c sellers , December closed HO lower at 23 0. The "speculative market for oats was al most at a stands-till. The market was a llttlo eanler. In sympathy with corn , but trade waa too small to admit of material changes in values. Offerings were freer I from the country and most of the selling In the speculative market came from the outsldo and from elevator people. The cash demand was tnmo. Receipts were 519 cars. September ranged from 20@20Hc and closed unchanged at 2020Uc. December closed HO lower at 19Hc. Th-o market for provisions was weak but dull. Receipts of hogs were moderate and largo decreases In stocks were reported , particularly of rlba , which led the flrmneBS in the speculative market. Packers were good buyers of laxd and rlba.

There wa a marked falling off of Interest In the roll- way Mocks loday compared with that pre vailing last woek. Interest shifted Into the Industrial specialties and a number of these wore marked up In a feverish and irregular manner. The general Hot wa maintained with difficulty and a slight flurry In call money In the last hour carried prices \Vllh the few exceptions of strength below lost night's level. In the final hardening move ment on covering by shorts om& of the spcclaltloa and a few obscure railroad stocks rose anew to the top level. This made the closing of thn market firm In tone , but the majority ot standard stocks show not loasoa. An Influential factor In Mie hesitating and doubtful tone of speculation was tiho renewed - nowed anxiety over the money market out look caused iby Saturday's -bank state-menl. Call money was qulto stlflly held at 8 per cent all day ana was marked above thnt In the last hour , possibly not without manipu lation , but the fact remains that the pres ent low Binge of surplus reserves of the.

NEW YORK , Aug. 28.-COTTON The market for cotton futures after opening easy at a decline of 6 points , worked within a narrow ntnge of changes. For a time business was ve-ty active with liquidation the principal feature , following unsatis factory cable accounts , small sales of spot cotton In Liverpool being In particular a disappointing feature. The weakness was Increased by claims of .bountiful . rain In the southwest * Ofllclal forecasts failed to Indicate any 'general break In the south west drought while the weather statistics confined theuaetual rainfall In Texas to a little more th n' ' ono Inch at Houston and Longvlow andftha scattering showers else where. Following these Indications the market made .feeble rallies , but the upwttrd movement was ( held In check by the un usually large , receipts In the south. An easy feeling existed In the afternoon , on a scat tered demand which came chiefly from local shorts. The last few mlnutea wllne3 < ied a sharp upturn on a sudden scramble of less reliant shorts to cover started by an almost total absence of covering. The cloeo was flrm. with prices 2@3 points not lower. NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 28.

However , there were probably not far from sixty loads of grass beef steers , eight to ten loads of cornfed steers and thirty to forty loads of cows. The balance of the receipts consisted of feeders. The market on cattle that would do for 'beef did not show much change as com pared with the close of last week , cornfed steers were In good demand and the few hero sold early at steady prices , but , as will be noted from the sales below , the-re was nothing very good here , the most of the offerings consisting of only fairish cattle. Local packers all wanted supplies and de sirable gross beef steers were In very fair request at fully steady prices , but Uie mar ket Is 1520c lower than a week ago. The most of the beef steers of all kinds sold In good season. , The supply of cows and heifers was. some what larger than usual of late and the market was rather slow In consequence and a little lower. Still buyers wanted sup plies , though the feeling1 among them was rather bearish , and In the end about every thing was cleared up. The feeder trade opened early and active and the most of the desirable cattle that would come under that head changed hands early In the morning. The market was fully steady and In spots strong on the most attractive kinds. Some big strings of cattle that were aboiu the same kind as were here a week ago brought the same price , showIng - Ing that there has been little change on the good quality feeders. Some cattle that did not seem to find as much favor In the eyes of buyers were not quite so active and toward the close were a little slow. Repre sentative sales : TIREF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

Heavy hours sold largely at $4.3214 $ 04.85 , heavy mixed principally at J4.8S ( H.40. light mixed at M.4034.60 and some right good or choice light at J4.60. It will be noted from the sales that there Is a wide range In prices on the light and medium weight loads , due to the fact that the choice light hogs are wanted and will bring the top of the market and loads containing n goodly proportion of that kind of hogs will bring good prices. At the same time trashy light hogs are poor selltTs and loads made up of medium weight and light sklppy hogs , though the average of the load may t > o light , will have to sell pretty well toward the bottom. It will bo noted from the table of average age- prices that the week opens with hogs selling not far from where they were ono or two wteks ago Representative sales : No. Av. Sh. Tr. No. Av. Sh.

Six carp , however , wore consigned direct to Swift & Co. , and ' were not offered for sale. Of the eight : cars on sale five were western wethers and 1 three were Iambs. The demand for killing sheep was very good and as there were so fww here buyers had to settle for them and the market was , 10@15c higher than last week , and more than that when compared with the early ! part of lait week. Buyers were not long an clearing the pens of the few to bo had. The situation as regards lambs was en- tlreJy different. The market at this point on Iambs has been way out of line with other markets and buyers seemed deter mined to get prices down somewhere near whore they were at other selling points or leave them alone. The result was a slow and lower market. The demand for feeding sheep , as noted at the close of last week , Is very active and anything that would come under that head could be depended upon to bring sat isfactory prices. Orders to buy are way in excess of the supply. Quotations : -Prime - native wethers , S4.00 iVA25' ' . ? oed to choice grass wethers. J3.80 ® 3.90 ; fair to good grass wethers.
