September wheat closing l'UMc hlgli.-r
feeplembcr corn ic higher, with oats up
Vk'tfWc. Provisions ruleu weak, the Septem
ber products clonl 6s, irom 2uc to 80c lower.
Notwithstanding neveral setbacss ucca
loned by realising" the wheat market ruled
irons; throughout the day and trading was
on a large sc.ile. tpllon prices were higher
under the Inlluenee ot strong cables .in J
mall worlds shipments. With continued
discouraging threi thing returns coming In
and with outside, markets showing good
gains the market hero quickly responded to
the bullish news. On the udvance locul bulls
took advantage 10 secure profits which re
sulted In shKiit tecllneii lit various stages
of the session, lr.it the murket always ral
lied to Increased buying. The strength In
corn was one of 3ie cluef bull factorn. On
one of the slum ss September sold off to
Ti'ifl'i'ikc. but lote In the dny had risen
icnin tu anu. the close whs nt Wac, a
gain of lfttl'AC. Clearances of wheat and
Hour were eiiunl to 1X.H00 bushels. The
amount of rmssagn decreased 66t(.uuO bushels,
while the visible ittipply showed a decrease
of 117,(XK) bushels. Primary receipts were
698,700 bushels, atsainnt 1,698.238 bushels a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
rlnii nf 1S7 ca.-s. which, with local re
cutita of 89 ears. 27 of contract grade, made
total roeelnts for the tliree points of 2
cars, against 306 last week, and 647 a year
ago.
Trading in corn opened with a rush and
commission houses were literally swamped
with buying orders from the outside, which
resulted In a wide rangt) of prices at the
tart September welling between 624c nnd
62V. a gain ot fetVto to i74.c from Sat
urday's close. After still further advances
had been made the markot reacted on gen
nl nroflt tnklmr. scver.-J large commission
houses being lu-tlve sellers. Unfavorable
crop advices continued u come In, and al
though trudlnr was not as active as early
In the day the market regained Its early
trena-th and ruled higher the greater part
of the session. September closed with a
gain of c, at 62Vd6-Hc. after selling be
tween 62ic and 6.1c. Local receipts wero 181
cars, with 16 of contract Hade.
The strength In wheat and corn were
supporting Influences in oats and held
nricoa Arm. althnush the, July option suf
fered a setback of 24o on free offering by
cash houses. There wan a good demand for
the deferred futures, but trading lacked
any features after ranging between 33o
and 34V4C. Bcpicmner ciosea wavtc nigner,
at xrkv3t. Jocat recoiiKS were zus cars.
Provision were weak, with further un
loading of ribs by a prominent packor. This
feature, coupled with the liberal receipts
of hogs and a decline of 10c In prices at the
yards, caused a bearish sentiment through
out the. day. The clos was at about the
bottom, with Septemlier pork SOo lower, ut
$13.50. September lard was 20c lower, at

market, which pointed to a conclusion thut
there was less pressure to close out un
marketable securities figuring aa collateral
In loana and an Improvement In facilities
for securing accommodation. The recent
contraction of credit In the stock market
has been largely due to distrust of such
operations as those In which the recently
railed nrms nave been largely enifiiKea, in
volving as they did Inflation and manipula

a sense of rellof from the oppression of
artificial conditions hanging over the mar

held-over projects are quite apart from the
earlier ones. In which tha syndicates were

niEW xOK Y, July 27.-COTTON Opened
firm at unchanged nriccs to an advance of
six points, with firm cables, but after a
brief interval of hetiitancy, turned easier
and during the balance of the session dis
played a generally declining tendency. In
addition to the cables the earlv firmness
was assisted by the unfavorable showing
oi i no weuiner mnp, wnicn renected no
rains of consequence In Texas and the
traders were also rendered somewhat anx
ious by the report that about 9.000 balea of
cotton had either been destroyed or Injured
by a fire In a Brooklyn warehouse. Later,
however. It became known that the amount
of cotton Involved was only some 2,300 bales.
The Liverpool cables also turned easier and
later reports drifted in of good rains In the
western belt. During the forenoon there
was little or no support, and aa the session
progressed offerings became more liberal.
July, which had opened at 13.30c and Bold
at 13.33c was depressed to 13.10c, and August
after selling at 8 points over Saturday's
close, was forced down to 12.10c under real
izing. September was weak all day. Open
ing at 10.03c It sold down to 10.52c, the later
months also attracted general pressure.
Toward the close the market was the most
active of the session and while the list
was finally steady, prices were at the low
est of the session, or at a net decline of
five at three points. Salea were estimated
at 90.000 bales.

quiet. Futures opened ateady at un

more active under the issuance of Ancmi
notices, which were said to be out to the
extent of about 150,000 bags. This led to
switching near the later positions and a
good part of the transactions reported were
exciiunges on August ror uecemDer at dif
ferences of 66 and 60 points. Primary re
ceipts wero also heavy, encouraging salea
for short account, but the steadiness of the
market at Santos restricted the downward
tendency. The market closed steady, net
unchanged to 6 points lower. Sales were

CATTLE There waa a light run of cat
tle here today and a larger proportion of
the offerings consisted ot cows and stock
cattle than has been tne case tor some
lime past. Chicago, however, had a big
run, and as prices there took a drop ot
about a dime that had a tendency to make
packers bearisn at this point ulso.
There were comparatively few beef steera
on sale today ana the prices paid did not
show much change irom the ciose of last
week. The unfavorable reports from Chi
cago, however, helped buyers to bear down
on the market a little and aa a reauit soma
of tne kinds that did not Just suit tne
packers sold at prices that looked a shade
lower. Desirable grades though In must
cases sold at right close to steady prices.
The choicer bunches sold mostly from 3o.0t)
to 35.16. Owing to the light receipts every
thing was d mooned of In good season, al
though trading waa not exactly brisk at
any time.
The cow market waa not far from ateady
on the best grades, out when It came to the
commoner kinds of grass cows the market
waa extremely dull und lower. There were
quite a few cows on sale today and most of
them were of the common order and pack
ers did not take nold of them with any life
and In fact did not seem to care whether
thev bouarht any of that class or not.
The prices paid were very uneven, so the
market could best be described by calling It
alow and unevenly lower.
Bulls did not show much change from the
close of last week. They were not very ac
tive, but held about ateady. The same waa
true or veal calves.
There were more stock cattle In the yards
this morning than have been here this sea
son, but most of them coming from the
range country. Speculators took hold fairly
well and bought up everything offered. Re
ceipts have been so light of late that It is
difficult to quote a market, but traders as a
areneral tlilim were auotlng the prices paid
Just about Bteady with those In force last
week. Kepresentative sales:

A bride with a desire to do the propel

arranging tha usual bridal toilette created
considerable Interest In the county court
yesterday. Accompanied by tha pros
pective groom aha arrived early at tht
court house, the groom carrying a telescopt
valise which waa bulging with Its con
tents. After the marriage license had beer
secured Ihe brldo asked to be conducted tc
the private room of the Judge, as she de
sired to rearrange her toilette. There wai
no room of sufficient privacy for the pur
pose, but the Judge placed the vault at hot
disposal. Through tha Iron doors of the
vault the bride retired dressed In a travel
ing suit of gray. After a few moments'
absence she returned arrayed for the serv
ice, which was performed by the Judge.
Although mirrors and tha usual toilet
adjuncts were absent from the vault th
maacullne eyes which were charmed with
tha costume could detect nothing missing
from tha bridal array, which waa complct
to tha smallest detail. After Judge Vln
aonhaler had pronounoed tha service the
bride again retired and when she came
again to the court room waa ready to re
auma her travela.
