The September received moat of the sunnort. There was a disposition to take the selling sine eariy, owing 10 ine reports mat Ar mour was no longer interested In the Mav. uui me aamage reports ana outsiae buying were of a sufficient volume to turn the scale towards higher levels. Crop news rrom aiiroao. snows an improvement ana the Illinois reports are also of an improved tenor. Towards the close there was con siderable profit taking, which caused a slight setback. Export sales, 11 loads at New York. There were none reported here. Receipts were 84 cars, one contract, 30 cars estimated for tomorrow. CORN There has been a spirited session n corn with a big outside interest and a strong, steady market. The principal strengthening influence has been the re ports that a railroad strike Is probable and on the strength of this news there was covering by one or the leading short In terests which contributed liberally to the support. Another bullish feature was the reports of enormous losses to hay and feed stuff In the east by drouth and the strong demand for corn contributed its share to the strength. Receipts were 462 cars with 60 contract; New York reports 14 loads taken there lor export. There were 100,000 bushels sold here for shipment east. Tho Illinois crop report shows an improvement since the rains. There are 805 cars es timated for tomorrow. We have received some advices from our correspondents west which indicate heavy damage from flooded fields and subsequent rotting In the ground. oa is ine strengthening influence has been the news of the continuance of drouth throughout the east. Cash market firm and higher for the better trades. Cron damage reports seem to Influence trade to Duy September ana more deferred futuroa rather than July. The possibility of a great railroad strike to hang up the grain movement has been felt here as well as In corn. Stocks of standard oats Increased 4fi.uuu, making a total of OT.OOO In store. There were i5,000 bu. sold from here for distribution east. Estimated for tomorrow 150 cars.

The conspicuous factors In today's stocg market were the relaxation in tne pressure of urgent and forced liquidation which has kept the mar ket unsettled for some tune and the ex treme caution of the buying at the higher level that was maintained today. The general level of the market was above last night all day, but prices wavered and fluctuated constantly throughout the ses sion. About 2 o'clock prices were generally at the lowest and in the. neighborhood of last night's level, but one ot the numer ous rallies set in during tire last hour and the closing was firm at higher prices than at any previous time during the day. The opening dealings tllsclosed good buying orders distributed among the great spec ulative railroad stocks, the movements In which were of a sympathetic nature with the general market. These are precisely the stocks which have set forward strong est in the recent liquidation. The evidence that they were supported had an Important reassuring effect on traders who had be come somewhat alarmed as the result of yesterday's events. Developments in finan cial and business affairs were without ef fect on the market and the attention of operators on the stocks was devoted al most exclusively to attempts to solve the mystery of the source of the stream of liquidation. Pure surmise and Irresponsi ble gossip played an Important part in this, but the conclusion has been quite generally arrived at that the recent sell ing has come from Important and wealthy interests and that the selling was prompted by some special financial needs of the holders rather than by conditions af fecting the stocks sold. It Is a matter of publlo news that very large accumulations of railroad stocks have been made during the late period of rumors of extensive consolidations. Part of this accumulation was made In the direct effort to secure control of various railroads and part of It was made by wealthy speculative fol lowers, who were Informed of the pros pects under way for a profitable turn in the market. The great check to the whole sale consolidation process came by the Northern Securities decision and in in creasing degree from the Impossibility of marKeung ncwiy iniuiuiiitiuicu pei;uiiLim, The consequenoo has undoubtedly been the abandonment of many consolidation pro jects and the tlelng up very large holdings In the hands of projectors and their spec ulative friends and followers. Among these are many Individuals who came Into enor tnous fortunes as the result ot the early period of industrial combinations, espe cially the formation of the United States Steel corporation. With the ample re sources In their hands they seem to have been slow , to part with their securities at a sacrifice,' while according to the current surmise In wall street over extending themselves in new financial and business projects which never reached the stage of flotation. While this liquidation Is held to account for the special pressure to sell the fact remains that the scanty buying demand which makes the selling effective In breaking prices Is due to general dis trust of business -and industrial outlook. Ths behavior of today's market suggested that potent buyers of stocks were sus picious that the liquidation was not en tirely completed. There was abundant evidence. In fact, of Its occasional renewal today, but it was well absorbed and prices were sustained with determination. The engagement of $900,000 In gold for export to France waa of only momentary effect. The threatening: aspect of the freight handlers' dispute In Chicago seemed to be offset by the better outlook In tho local building trades. An announcement that the underwriting of the Pennsylvania new stock has been oversubscribed was a strengthening Influence. The bond market waa Irregular. Total sales, par value. $3,230,009. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. Following are ths quotations on the New York Stock exchange: 154 Tiiu a Pacllla I1H UttlToledo.

Trad ing, though, was very slow, as sellers did not like the idea of taking off that much. It was Inte before the bulk of of ferings was disposed of, but sellers finally had to cut loose. The bulk sold from $.V to . Oft. The long string went at .i.9T, with the better grades selling largely at $.V97,.vif6.iO. The commoner grades went mostly from $5.9ii down. Today's decline takes the market to the low point of the year and is the first time since December 13 that the avemge cnt at South Omaha has been below f0o. The last end of the market was very slow nn.l weak and the late arrivals had to sell right around lotfliio lower. At a late b4ur there were still a good many hogs In first hands.
