CHICAGO , Aug. 28. A Iwxivy Increase
in the arrivals of now wheat In the northwest -
west was tnken ndvantnso of by elovalor
people nnd professional benrt ) today to
force wheat down and the mnrkct closed
wcnk nt about He decline , September corn
was weak on renewed liquidation nnd
clo-cd < ! io lower. Moro distant futures
closed about Ho lower. Oats declined HO
for December , but closed unchanged for
September. Provisions closed unchanged
to 7 > io hlgiicr.
For a good part ot the morning whcni
vwin fairly llrm nt a alight advance In
prices. I/.vorpool ehowfd but a small openIng -
Ing decllno and moro than recovered this
before the close there. 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. There was' scat
tered liquidation of September all day ,
but most of the selling wa done by elevator
vator firms , which was taken to to Indi
cate heavy country offerings. 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. At the close
September pork was unchanged at $8.25 ,
September lard 71/4c. higher at $5.26 and Sep.
tember ribs 7o higher at $5.20.
Estimated receipts for Thursday : Wheat ,
170 cars ; corn , 810 cara ; oats , 740 cars ; hogs ,

NEW YORK , Aug. 8. 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 clearing house banks ke pa the
financial world keenly observant and In a
somewhat uneasy frame of mind. Pro
fessions of confidence thait the west Is
amply provided with funds lo finance the
coming crop movement wlthoul calling on
New York do nol avail altogether In the
face of the condition of the local banks ,
neither does the suggestion that the local
trust companies have largo available funds
which do not figure In clearing house
banking reserves , although bofh of MICRO
explanations have undoubted force. The
buying for London account which has
eervoa to sustain some Btooka recently wa
missed. There were upward movement * of
Importance today in the tobacco stocks ,
Manhattan , Metropolitan Streel railway.
Sugar , and < omo of the Iron and atool
stocka , the latter Under the Influence of B.
declaration of the first dividend on the
Rcijubllo Stool preferred of 1 % per cent ,
called quarterly. American Express jumped
10 points over Saturday's prlcea.
On the other hand Ihcro waa weakns in
International Paper , Colorado Fuel , Brook
lyn Transit , Tonnens e Cool and a few oilier
specialties. In th railway llsl the only
stocks to show any marked demand were
Southern Railway preferred and Kansas
& Texas preferred. The Chicago Great

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.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were very
much smaller than a week ago , as will be
noted from the table at head of column.
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 :

HOGS Today's receipts of hogs sold nt
prices that were a shade higher and the
market was active at the advance , so that
everything changed hands early In the
morning. 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 :

SHEEP There was a pretty light run
here today , fourteen cars being reported
In , as against thirty-three a week ago and
seven two weeks ago. 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.
