CHICAGO, Aug. 4 The grain markets
were rather weak early In tho session, but
later rallied and closed firm, 8o.temner
wheat being up No. September cm V.C
higher and oats V'nc higher. Provisions
cloned easier, tha fceptember products beinj
unchanged to 7,ic lower.
Wheat wan In air demand at the start
by local trader who were Influence,! by
the continued ralna In the northwest, and
opening price were firm, with keptemher
easier than the more distant de.lver.es,
opening a shade lower to Vic higher at i
79tlOr!. The early strength was noon
lost, however, due to the weakness In corn,
and September Bold down to 79HC. trice
fluctuated nervously tho greater part of the
day, but an unexpected advance In tlie
northwest markets, with more damage re
ports from that section, together with bul
lish reports from Europe, caused a strong
tone late In the session and the close was
near the top, September closing at W'e, a
gain of He, after It had sold up to wVo
o1i. Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 216,000 bushels. Primary receipt
wore 837,300 bushels, against 1.&5.100 a year
ago. The world s vlsihle supply as shown
by Bradstreet'e decreased 1,613,000 bushel.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
of 149 cars, which, with local receipts of
1X3 cars 69 of contract grade made total
receipts for the three points of 332 cars,
against 372 cara last week, and 719 cars u
year ago.
There was a moderate trade In corn and
prices were easier at the opening, due to
further rains In the west. (September was
sold quite freely early In the day and this
selling pressure depressed the more distant
months, but later a good demand for May
developed which caused a rally. The chief
bull factor was the Missouri crop repoit,
although the late strength In wheat was
also a factor. The close was strong, with
September Wa'lkc higher at KiV(i6&H!, after
selling between 61c and 52c. Local re
ceipts were 306 cars, with 2!) of contract
grade.
Disappointing thrashing returns were
largely responsible for the firmness In oats,
although the scarcity of offerings helped
prices. While trading was not on a large
scale, there was a fairly good demand
throughout the day. After ranging between
Xtc. and 34-V September closed
higher at 34V.C. Local receipts were 31)3
cars.
Provisions were strong early, due to an
advance of from 6(&15e In prices at the
yards, but local traders sold on the ad
vance and a reaction followed. The closo
was a trifle easier, with September pork
7Hc lower at $13.67, September lard un
changed at S7.92M, with ribs off 2ftc at
$8.12.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
106 cars; corn, 100 cars; oats, 13i) cars; hogs,

The stock market only partly resumed busi

ers were very cautious, aom en,.r.k.i..
still existing though the feeling was more
riiernui nmii uu r nuay. me big account
whl.h caused apprehensions of dltncultlea
having beeu arranged. Consols were fairly
steady. Home rails were Irregular and In
clined to harden. American securities
opened dull but became Arm at
a ttlfle over parity. Business was
extremely Idle and they sagged and closed
weak, urand Trunks strengthened on tin
e pec ted Increase on traffic. Kaffirs were
Arm, the attitude of the bourse regarding
Asiatic labor being encouraging. These
shares, however, were not maintained at
their best.
BERLIN, Aug. 4. All departments of the
bourse were quiet today. Electrical shares
were in better demand.
PARIS, Aug. 4. 1 he bourse opened fair
today, but later weakened slightly, owing
to a lack of business. Rentes were very
dull. Rio Tintos lost 2 points.
NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Market Flops Back, Gilt-Edged Paper
Golag; Low, ,
NEW TORK, Aug. 4 The slock market
developed acute weakness again today and
after continued liquidation throughout the
session closed active and weak at about
the lowest lor the day. This represented
also the lowest of the year lor a number
of prominent stocks and near the lowest
for a much larger number. Union Pacific,
Atchison, Erie, Texas at Pacific, Wabash
preferred. Rock Island preferred, Conaou
uated Gas, Republic Steel preferred and
the Virginia-Carolina Chemical stocks
were among those wJilch sold today lower
than before this year. United States Steel
sold at 21, which is the lowest price on
record. There was an insignificant rally
In the final hour of the market, but the
selling was renewed at the last. It was
evident that the process of selling out
collateral In loans was resumed on a con
siderable scale. The source of the selling
took on the mysterious character of the
recent period of liquidation, which It was
hoped had been completed lor the present.
A number of stocks broke sharply on ac
count of new developments and the re
newal ef the general declining tendency
seemed to prompt the liquidation as mucu
as any other factor. The response of
Consolidated Gas to the announcement of
an additional stock Issue of nearly t.uot,0oJ,
with subscription privilege to stockholders
resembled that of Pennsylvania stock to
the recent stock increase and that of New
loik Central to the persistent rumors of
capital Increase. Consolidated Gas sold
off over 8 point.
The United States Steel stocks formed
another center of disturbance. The liquida
tion In these was associated at first with
Uie authoritative announcement of the
resignation of President Schwab. The per
sistence of the weakness gave rixe to
rumors of unfavorable developments in the
trade, especially growing out of the build
ing trades lockouts, notably In Pittsburg.
Fears were also expressed that the execu
tive change In the corporation would give
rise to changes of policy possibly involv
ing a suspension of dividends on the com
mon stock. The decline of 7 points In
Virginia-Carolina Chemical and of 19 polnta
In the preferred was the occasion of some
uneasiness. Another supposed factor was
derived from the published reports of a
serious breakdown In the health of an
operator who has taken a very prominent
part In some of the great market affairs
of the last few years. It was not supposed,
however, that the weakness of the market
was due entirely to any special causes,
the general banking situation being con
sidered sufficient to explain the liquidation.
The Wall street community has not re
linquished its study of the loan position
of banks, which was emphasised by the
unexpected increase In loans shown by
last Saturday's bank statement. The ex
pectation of large Increases In failures In
the general commercial and. Industrial Hne
reported by mercantile agencies gave point
to the depressing Influence of the compila
tion. t, ,
The attention given to rumors, which
were authoritatively denied, of the placing
of a large real estate mortgage by the
New York Central Indicated the drend in
the speculative world that the voracious
demand by great corporations for credits
will continue to encroach upon the avail
able limits. '
The weather bureau's weekly crop bulle
tin was regarded as favorable, but Its
Influence was offset by the renewed firm
ness In the cotton and grain markets.
Bonds were heavy In sympathy with
stocks. Sales, par value, $2,275,000. Bonds
were all unchanged on the last call.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4 COTTON-Market
opened quiet at an advance of 810 points
on the covering following the higher ruling
of Liverpool cables. After the opening,
however, there were few supporting orders
In the market, and, with generally favor
able weather reported, prices soon devel
oped a sagging tendency that was Increased
around midday by the publication of the
weekly report, which Indicated that the
crop on the average showed further Im
provement. Trading was quiet, however,
and after prices had reached a level about
even with last night's closing In all except
the August option, which was net S points
lower, having sold down from 12c, the open
ing figure, to 11.85c, the market was rallied
by bull support and covering. In the last
hour a good demand developed for the new
crop months, led. It was claimed, by the
former New England bull leader, and shorts
became alarmed. The market turned firm
and more active than at any time pre
viously during the session. The close was
steady at practically the best of the day on
all except August, which closed net un
changed at 11.90c. The rest of the list
showed net gains of SQ12 points. Sales were
estimated at about 75.000 bales. Business
during the entire session seemed to be al
most entirely of a professional character.

CATTLE The run was not excessive for
the second day of the week, while the de
mand all around just about equalled the
supply. The movement was brisk In all di
rections and a good clearance was made.
Included In the run was a moderate number
of range cattle.
Desirable dry lot steers were rather scarce
and toppy grades Sold freely at firm figures.
Shortfed cattle were picked up In good sea
son at prices quotabiy unchanged on any
thing wanted at all. The few lange grass
ateers suitable for killers sold at satisfac
tory prices. In fact the market all around
was satisfactory. ,
The cow market showed little If any
change from that of yesterday. The better
grades of either cornfeds or grassers are
selling fully steady, with the Inferior of
ferings selling at more or less uneven fig
ures, according to the supply and demand.
Odds and ends of all kinds, bulls, veal
calves, stags, etc., were quotabiy un
changed. . . .
The market for feeders waa moderately
supplied, with the demand from dealers of
fair proportion. Well bred grades are free
sellers. In fact the market all around ruled
fairly active at fully steady prlcea. Repre
sentative sales:

HOGS RecelDta here were normal, but
fell far below estimates at Chicago. Other
western markets also reported usual sup
plies for ths day and season. Early Indica
tions were more or less favoraole to sellers
and salesmen priced their holdings pretty
high. Buyers were not Inclined to put on
very much, consequently the market, while
somewhat higher, was not particularly ac
tive at the advance. Packers' droves were
quoted generally as costing around a nickel
higher and the general market could be
Suoted about that much better than yecter
ay. Light and medium grades were pre
ferred and In some cases on rough heavy
prices were little If any better than yester
day. Light and medium grades sold chiefly
at $5.0uee 10. with heavy around $5.00, the
bulk showing at 4&.0ow&.06.
Toward the close the packers seemed to
have secured a sufflelent number of hogs
and the msrkct eased oft on the heavier
grades. As a rule choice) heavies sold a
trifle better early this morning, but closing
prices were little If any higher than yester-
aay. Representative sales

again today, but were considerably smaller
man yesterday. Hesldes fresh arrivals
thero were a number received late yester
day that were carried over until today's
market. Desirable killers were scarce, the
big end of the supply consisting of ordi
nary killers and feeding sheep
The demand for mutton grades Just about
equalled the supply and as a result prices
on anything at a:i suitable for the block
ruled right close to steady, in some cases
packers feel that values here are out of
proportion to eastern markets and are In
clined to weaken prlcea on killers.
Feeder buyers were out In force, but as
values got pretty high lately they were
rather disposed to hold out for easier fig
ures. The market started out rather slow,
but by the clone a decent clearance had
been made at prices as a rule not much
different from yesterday.

GOSSIP OF COMMISSION ROW
Glnt of Tomatoes Canses Prlee Kill
ins Race to Get Rid of
Then.
Fair warning Is hereby given to every
one patronising the market to get busy,
for Thursday all will have a day oft. Every
commission house will be closed tighter
than on Christmas, while the proprietors
and employes attend the grocers' plcnlo
at Missouri Valley.
A glut of tomatoes was the dominating
feature of the market yesterday. There
were three or four carloads of the "foreign"
In crates of four boxes each and a large
quantity of homegrown In baskets, none of
which It was advisable to keep over. So
the raco started early and was kept up
at a good gait. It was a race to get rid
of tomatoes, which also meant a race to see
which could sell the cheapest. Quotations
fluctuated as rapidly as they ever did on
Wall street, but there were no official
figures. "Thirty cents" was a favorite
figure for crates, but It was cut In twain
a number of times and at the close only a
few were left. They will be up again Im
mediately and stay up.
The first shipments' of California "cling
stones" arrived yesterday morning In excel
lent shape and did not have to do much
soliciting at $1.10 for twenty pound crates.
Crawford peaches were also In demand at
$1.10 and $1.25. according to the kind of
package. But the big. dark, luscious German
prunes from California were the favorites
of the day aYid were cleaned up at $1.35 a
crate. Why they ahould be called prunes
has never been explained, for everyone
who has ever had anything to do with
them declares that they are not even the
remotest kind of a Telatlve to the Turkish
dried prunes of boSrdlng house fame, nor
even a first cousin to the fine and health
giving Oregon prunes.
LITTAUER IN OMAHA TANNERY
Topp's Defonet Scheme 8 apposed to
Be Backed by Congressman's
Government Contrnet.
The troubles of Congressman Llttauer of
New York, arising out of his Interest In
a prohibited contract with the War depart
ment, recalls the connection of Mr. Llt
tauer with tha tannery that was projected
for Omaha about two years ago. Through
the Commercial club, an effort waa made
to secure a location here for an establish
ment to tan leather which was projected
by William Topp, who proposed to remove
his tannery from the state of New York to
this city. Mr. Topp's chief recommenda
tion came from Congressman Llttauer,
from whom he had letters testifying to his
buslnesss standing and ability, as well as
to the fact that Llttauer'a company was
using Topp's leather.
To the persons Interested Mr. Topp repre
sented that one of his principal contracts
was for the delivery of leather to a com
pany which had the contract for supplying
the United States army with gloves, and
that his contract was to last as long as
the contract for the other company lasted.
He also gave the assurance that this gov
ernment contract was good for as long aa
the company wanted It. because one of the
stockholders In that company was Con
gressman Lucius N. Llttauer of New York,
and that the Omaha plant when opened
was to work chiefly on the contract with
the government contractors. Before the
negotiations for the Topp tannery were
concluded Mr. Topp died and the Commer
cial club and P. E. Her, who had made a
contract with blm for the establishment of
n tannery In Omaha, were recently re
quested to abrogate their agreement, so
that bis estate might be settled,

last What tho Proposed Now Primary

Into Practical Opera
atlon.
The proposed change In the system of
conducting the nominations of candi
dates of the republican party have set a
number of politicals to figuring as to tha
representation each of the wards and
precincts would be entitled to have under
the plan. One of them went to the office
of the county clerk nnd did a little figuring.
The figures are not absolutely correct for
the reason that two wards have been added
to South Omaha since the last presidential
election and the representation from that
city, would be somewhat differently divided
aa to wards and precincts. The table based
upon the vote received by Wallace R.
Barton, the presidential elector In the
campaign of 1900 receiving the highest vote
In the county, Is as follows:
Omaha.
First Ward.

Thla would make a convention with 2111
delegates In It, of which 146 would be neces
sary to a nomination.
That the democratlo lawyers of Omaha
are not a unit for the plan mapped out for
them by the lawyers who put up the slats
Is shown by one of them, who said: "I
told one of the men who put up the slate
that the people would not stand for It, I
know what I am talking about, for I know
were the slate was put up. It was oon
celved In the Henshaw hotel, where a num
ber of lawyers gather to eat luncheon.
These lawyers are prominent. It Is con
ceded, but that doea not give them any
right to assume powers conferred by law
and precedence only upon the people. They
now come out with a great show of fair
ness and ask that their slate be accepted
by the people for election, and base their
claims upon the fairness of the lawyers
who nominated it. The Henshaw hotel
luncheons have been, known before. These
lawyers are the fellows who have been
prominent In many of the attacks which
have been made upon laws passed for tha
benefit of the people, and while some of
their selection have been nominated by tha
republican party, this Is no reason why
democrats should be led to nominate those
rejected by the republicans who have no
democratlo sympathies."
RAILROAD TO BE ASSESSED
Son Francisco Corporation Mnst Par
Tax on Property aad
Franchise.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Aug. 4. The State
Board of Equalisation has assessed tha
United Railway of San Francisco at $20,
160,000 on roadbed, rails, rolling stock and
franchise. The assessor of tha city and
county of San Francisco will also assess
the machinery, buildings, fixtures and all
other property.
As the superior court decided In effect
that the State Board of Equalisation must
assess the United railroad, which operates
Its lines In more than one county, the
board stood by Its previously announced
intentions to aaseea the roadbed, etc., not
withstanding the' declaration of Assessor
Dodge that he would also asses the road.
