The tmmenaa arrival of corn tempted to

Common rumor, however, ha It that the

could not wtihstand the preaura of the
;yraln break and cloae a shade to 2oc
. At tha nnenlnr all lens Dolnted toward
lower prlcee for corn. The fair weather
of the laat four days had done much
toward diving out the fields and enabling
farmers to rush stuff to thla market to
take advantage of the fancy price ruling I
for contract corn. Elevators were busy
drying stuff with great rapidity. Tester-
lav it hal been estimated that the
'celpts today would amount to nearly 1,000
cars and the expectatlona of the traders
were practically realised. Arrlvala were
' 287 cara, the greatest run of the crop, with
I 19 of contract grade. The unlicensed
levatora turned out 118 cars and 60,000
bushels. The total runs of cars that
graded contract waa 414 Mind 60,-
000 bushela. Thla amounted to a
good 600,000 bushel of contract stuff
which stared the bull crowd In the face
and which had to be taken in at 81C
himhel If tha nrlre waa lo be maintained.
The bulla refused to take the corn and
hk haa forthwith nrnc-frteri to hammer I
prices until practically all the artificial
atrength waa taken out of July. Other
natural conditions, such aa fine weather
and lower cables, lent to the bearish sen-
tlment and September, December and May
' options fell off In sympathy. There waa
no marked excitement In the pit when
prices sagged eo rapidly. Much of the ac
tion of contemplated congested option
waa a surprise to many traders, but they
took the slumo aa a matter of course.
Fluctuations were very erratic. The offer
of a "five" was enough to break the price
lc, and a bid for "ten" put the price up
once 2c. The general trend of opinion waa
that the corner waa broken. 8. C. Scot-
ten, general manager of Harris. Galea &
Co., stated shortly before the close of trade
that private settlement has been made
with many of the shorts And that the In
terest in supporting prices by that firm
waa at an end. It la probable that ahorta
now out ran nnisn settling in tne open
market. July started la to 2o oft at 80o
to 79o and began plunging downward. There
waa almost no cessation to the recession
until 664o waa reached, a break of IMio
since last night and almost 2&o under the
top- price, 90c, which was reached July 8,
The close was flat at a loaa of l&ttc at
66!4c. September opened unchanged to

KEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Market . Opeat with Upward Rash,
bat Sharp Rrlapae Followa.
KEW YORK. July 18. Prloes of stocks
Started up with a rush thla morning, ap
parently as an extension and a broadening
of the buying movement which- became
conspicuous yesterday n the grangers and
Pacifies.
There waa an appearance of confident de
mand from new sources and the open sell
ing 01 tne oroaers wmcn nave Deen em
ployed by the western contingent during
the recent rise did not afreet the strength
of the market Thla gave rise to the con
viction that large capitalists who have
hitherto held aioof from-the market were
coming In prepared to continue the upward
movement of stocks.
There was active realizing In Missouri
Paoiflo and in a-few other stocks under
cover of thl strength and the whole mar
ket ultimately gave way. There waa a
momentary check to the downward move
ment effected by a rally in Missouri Pa
cific to a point over last night, but the
market gave way again and receded gen
erally 10 oeiow iasi nigni s ciora, oniy 1
lew stocks on tne list, resisting tne down
ward tendency. The market closed heavy
and not far above the lowest
Among the late points of strength Were
Amalgamated Cdpper, the ' United States
Steel stocks, the Chicago A Alton stocks
and Toledo. St. Louis A Western preferred.
The advance In Amalgamated Copper was
in expectation 01 action on tne dividend
tomorrow. The ateel stocks resnonded
fractionally to -the showing in the brief
nied in repiy to tne suit against tne com
pany's bond conversion plan.. Including
affidavits from the corporation officials
bearing on the value of aaaeta. -.
A very favorable weather map thla morn
ing ana a somewnat easier tone or money
added to the belief that Important financial
Interests were newly embarked In the mar
ket helped the morning market. Tha violent
slump in the corn market at Chicago and
tne oener tnat tne integrity or tne corn
corner waa threatened had much to do
with the break in the market, as it was
feared that liquidation would be forced In
the atock market to protect the position
In the corn market
With the easing of the money rate here
came a hardening In the foreign exchange
rate and a relapse in the sterling rate at
Paris, who brought International exchanges
back to about the sold export point. . At
the same time New York exchange - at
Chicago dropped back again from 26c dis
count to 40c discount. There were, how
ever, no deposits of currency at the sub-
treasury for transfer Into Interior points.
The sub-treasury haa contributed thus far
this week to tne money market 31,007,000.
The time money market continues to
harden, but bankers are still disposed to
keep their funds ready to hand In call
loans. London turned buyer this morning
here, helping on the advance and promising
some supply auio to tne exenange maraeia.
The developments at Chicago In the
freight handlers' strike may have an in
fluence on reaction in tne marxet.
The bond market was Irregular. Total
aalea, par value $3,770,000. United States 4s
declined H on the laat call.

CATTLE There was a fairly liberal run
of cattle here today, which makea the
receipts for the two daya thla week a little
better than the aame daya of last week
and nearly equal to the aame daya of last
vear. Tha uuaiitv 01 tne onerinKs, uiouin,
waa very inrerior, ana as win ue seen
from the aalea below, there was nothing
In the yards that could be canea cnoiee.
As a result the market waa very slow
and Indifferent ' from atart to finish.
The beet ateer traae was very auu to
ri a v. but oackera claimed it waa because
there waa nothing good offered. Buyers
Bala tney waniea goon came anu tne
general Impression was that such kinds
would have sold about steady, but there
was nothing of that description offered
with which to make a test of the market.
It waa very evident though that they were
not at all anxioua for tha interior grades
such aa were offered and In a good many
cases sellers had a hard time to even get
bid on what they had to sell. The pricea
that were finally paid were very uneven
and lower all around. It waa very late
before anything like a clearance was made,
although recelpta were not at all heavy.
The cow maraet waa aiao extremely auu.
with the tendency of prices downward.
Tha same aa with steers, the quality was
very common. A few dry lot cowa Bold
at prices tnat aia not iook so munn lower,
but outside of those sales the general mar
ket was lower again today, it la Impos
sible to tell, however. Just how much tha
decline la, for the market haa been ao un
even that no two buyers or sellers agree
on just how ' rriuoh tne market haa de
clined. This much Is certain, however.
that there are a good many cowa and
tielfera selling here for less money than
shippers paid for them In the country.
Shippers do not seem to realise until they
get here how much the cow market has
5 one on, ana unui iney ao appreciate tne
run In nrlcea they will nrobablv continue
to lose money. It now takes a choice. grass
cow to bring over tJ.za ana snippers nave
been paying that much or more for them
in the country.
Good fat bulls did not show much change
today, but common kinds were dull. The
same waa true of veal calves and ataga.
There were quite a few atockers and
feedera Included In the recelpta thla morn
ing and pricea took another drop. The
best heavyweights did not suffer much,
but aalda from those the pricea were con
siderably lower. Aa compared with the
beat time last week the general market
la a big 60 cents lower. The demand from
the country ao far thla week haa been very
quiet. Representative aalea:

HOGS There was a light run of hoge
here today for a Tuesday, but atiu tne sup
ply for the two days is about the aame aa
fnr the flrtrt two davs of last week. When
comparisons are made with the same days
Of last year,, nowever, mere is m. uig de
crease. The table of receipts above will
hnv the vart flaurea.
The market opened very slow this morn
ing but about steady. Later on, however,
tt became evident that packers all had lib
eral orders and that there were none too
many hogs to go around. As a result the
market took on considerable life and the
close waa strong to 5c higher. Everything
waa disposed of in good season In spite of
the slow opening, ine duik 01 me iu
weight hogs sold from 37 .80 to 37.85 and aa
high aa 38.00 waa paid. The top today waa
a dlrne higher than yesterday, but the hogs
were better. The medium weights went
largely from 87.75 to 17.80 and the light
weights from $7.75 down. Representative
