VThaat ha reached a dsrMadly hlh prlca In tha markst of the world and H b"arlns to fhow BOtni hesitation, peculator bins ready for rapid changes either way and for fluctuations rather heavier th;in gen erally aeen In tola cereal. The advance has confirmed the opinion of the prophets of short crops and foreign demand, but the different bull Interest that have been re sponsible, with weather and nature, In advancing wheat i points in ten days and 2nc from the low point of the hep tember future, exhibit a little uncertainty a to the future. The stories from the Jjakntas and Minnesota continue enter tainingly and emphatically of red and black rust and crop shortness, but the advance has allowed for much of this and there re those who look for reactions, but every decline will bring buying orders. Minne apolis doesn't stand under moderate wheat receipts aa well as Omaha does, and the prices here are still relatively higher than either our nearby competitors or Chicago, It la still difficult to force wheat to yield to pressure and the beara will have to keep constantly at work and pay close at tention to business to prevent the bulls taking it sway from them. At the open ing tills morning the trend was toward a lower range, but the reooll was always ready and many short sellers are unwilling to go home without evening up their trades. 6ome of the best commlaslon houses are rtArminw 1rnii petition In speculation.

CHICAGO OHAH ASD TROTISIOM Featares af the Traalaej aad Closing Prices an Board of Trade. CHICAGO. Aug. . A decline In the prc of wheat In foreign markets today was followed by similar action here. Allhnunh there was a rally, September wheat ch-sefl at a loss of (t. Corn was off a shade. Oats were down c. Provisions chow lo-.-s varying from i'4)C to the ltie ht market opned with Septem ber off Vm'ia. at IhJVtc.. A large quantity of long wneat was ottered for sale duilng the first few minutes. While there wj fair buying by southwestern houses and local shorts, the demand was not sufficient to prevent a further decline, September falling to 96c l.'ndrr an active demand September advanced to itic More long wheat however, came out on the bulge and the market again eased off. Kinai quotations on September were 674,'a'.7-Sc. Clearances of wheat and flour were e(ju;il to bo.KO bu. Primary receipts wete (M.i0 bu., compared with o4."X) bu. a year ago. Minneapolis, Du'.uth ami Chicago reported receipts of 2fi cars, against 2'si cars last week and 247 a year ago. The opening in corn was weak in sym pathy with wheat and on lower cables. September opened Va-Sc to S'uV lower at 61V.-f)llfcc, sold up to o-'MA'c and closed at 52'c. Local receipts were 242 cars, with 17 of contract grade. Large receipts of good grade grain with a slow cash market caused weakness In oats. Considerable long oats were offered for sale, but the recent bull leaders fal ed to give the market any support. The closa was at the low point. September opened VS-'tiC lower at SMi.W'io, sold be tween 22.0 and 33:V and closed at 32c Local receipts were 3."1 cars. Reselling by packers. In the face of a poor demand, caused weakness In provis ions. The volume of trade was not larpe, but a litta more Interest than usual was manifested owing to the claims of pack ers that, In spite of the strike, business has reached almost normal proportions. At the rloxe September pork was down ?5c, at $12.4214. Lard was off 120 at Jfi 77V4. PIlis closed with a long of iWu'oa at 37.67 67.60.

NEW YORK. Aug. . There la little to record of today's snort session of the Stock exchange. Dealings ran down to the level of midsummer dullness and the movement of prices was so sluggish as to be entlrelif Inconclusive ss to any sentiment over the outlook for values to be expressed. The uncertainty over the extent of damage to the spring wheat was a continuing factor and is expected to be until the publication of the government report on next Wednes day. '1 lie rally in the price on British consols In London Is a favorable Influence on securities markets. The outgo of gold which has been Inaugurated Is the subject of Interested discussion, but it is of little effect, owing to the plethoric condition of the money market. With the exception of gains In some of the obscure specialties, the price changes were confined to small frac tions, mostly gains, and the closing was firm. Total sales of bonds, pur value, $1,145,000. With the most brilliant prospects ever recorded for a large and profitable cotton crop and with reports In currency during the week pointing to something like a disaster to the year's wheat crop, the dividend sentiment In the stock market Is explained. The conalderatlon of the cotton crop was prompted by the publication of the government's estimate of the condi tion on July 26 of 26 6 per cent of an esti mated acreage of 32,O0u,O00. It Is natural that the stocks of companies whose busi ness Is connected with the cotton trafllc should have been consp'euously strong In the week's trading. Additional sympathetic effect has been produced on the group by the prosperous showing contained In the annual report of the Southern railway and by the action of the Central of Oeorgla directors In declaring the first Interest dis bursement ever allowed for the second preferred income bonds of that company. The prospect of a short crop of wheat presents a sharp contrast. The heavy de. crease in the exports of wheat for the last fiscal year is evidence that last year's small surplus available for export will be materially cut down this year, leaving an Important gap in the foreign commerce of the country. The corn crop 1s still looked to hopefully to eke out the deficiency in our grain exports. The week's advices Indicate some revival In the Iron and steel trade and great im portance Is attached to these. Large orders were placed for pig Iron and the announce ment of orders for 60,000 tons of sleel rails for the H.irrlman system of railroads wss of marked effect on the stocks of that systetn and on the Iron nnd steel stocks. Railroad officials assert that there Is some Srowth of traffic on their lines and a eclded Improvement of the business senti ment In their territory as to future busi ness revival, increases in net earnings for June by the Pennsylvania system, the Atchison and the St. Paul were accepted as an Index of Improving conditions In railroad finance. Little attention has been paid to the war news from the far east, except so far as It has beeti a factor In the tightening of the London money market and the with drawal of gold from New York. The run ning deficit in the government revenues also keeps alive the possibility of a necossury withdrawal of government deposits from the banks. The Investment demand In the bond mar ket hns shrunk to small proportions, but a good effect Is produced by the successful marketing of several bond Issues to first subscribers. United States bonds are un changed on call for the week. The following are the closing prices on the Stock exchange today: Sales. High. Low.Close.

There were quite a lew common cows in th yard carried over from day to day, for whlcn there Is practically no demana, and very tew of them changed bandj today. Most of the common cow that are being aold go to speculators and not to killer. For the week receipts are about double the supply or last week, but 6,0uu heap, short of tne same week ot last year. In regard to shipping next weak commis sion men advise considerable caution. It doe not look now as though the market Would stand any great Increase in receipt the nret of the week at least, and what Is shipped In should be of good quality. Com mon cow and ateera should be kept at bora by all mean, for pucker simply pick out th batter grade, and then commission men have to sell what Is left to speculators or to anyone they can get to take them off their hands, regardless of price. Ship pers should keep in close touch with their oommlssion firms and rely upon their ad vice. Thia market Is In as good condition a any la the country and snipper in this territory will make a mistake to pass It by. Ihe market on com-iea steers oi the better grades Is very little different from the close of last week, Monday's slump havng been Just about regained. Common kinds, though, are dull and a little lower for the week. Cattle have aold this week as high as $5.75, but etrlctly choice grades would probably bring a little more. Fair to good cattle fell from $5.00 to $5.50, and the commoner grade from $4.25 to $4.85. The market on western grass beef steers has shown but little change all the week. The better grade have met with ready sale and common kinds are more or less neg lected. As high as $6.10 waa paid for some trlctly choice cattle, but the bulk of the good to choice grades are quotable from $4.00 to $4.60, fair to good $3.80 to $3.85, and common kind from $3.25 down.' Th cow market has been very Irregular this. week, with th tendency of prices de cidedly downward. As compared with Wednesday of last week, the market Is 60jj7&o lower, the commoner kinds showiu the greatest loss. Strictly choice grass cows may be quoted from $3.00 to $3.25 and something prime might bring a little more than that. Corn-feds If good enough, ought to sell up around $4.00, but few are being offered. Fair to good cows are sell ing from $2.00 to $2.76 and canners and cut ters from $1.00 to $2.00. As mentioned above. It Is almost Impossible to find a buyer for common to medium cows, even at these bargain counter prices, and for that reason they should be kept at home. Bull are also slow sale and. In fact, so few of the common kinds have been sold to packer of lat that It 1 practically impossible to tell what they would bring Choice corn-feds sell from $8.25 to $3 80 Veal calves are about steady for the week' Receipt of stoukers and feeders have been rather light most of the week, ao that, although the demand was limited, prices have lield about steady. Good to choice grades may be quoted from $3 40 to $3.70, fair to good $3.00 to $3.25. and the commoner grades from $3.00 down. Repre sentative aalcs: BEEF STEERS. Ho At. ft No. At. Pr.

The market opened with the demand In fairly good shape for the light and medium weight hogs and such kinds sold at Just about steady prices with yesterday. The medium and mixed loads sold largely from $6.06 to $510 wl'h the choice lights from $6.10 to $5.17. None seemed to be at nil anxious for the heuvles and by the time half of th total receipt had been dis posed of packers seemed to have their more urgent orders filled and the market came to a standstill. For a time very little boatness was transacted. The weakness did not last any great length of Urn and packers finally bought up what was left at just about the same prices a were paid early In the morning. The heavy hogs sold largsly from $5 to $5.05. The market today averages fully as strong aa t did yesterday, but that la ac counted for by the fact that there were oine good lightweight on sale that both shipper and packers wanted and they sold at steady to strong prices In some cnans. As high a $5 So waa paid for a load weigh ing 167 pounds. A compared with th close of last week th market 1 about to lower on the aver age. Representative sales: ! Ma - io. AT. Pr. ho. h. At. Pr.

For the week receipts have been auout l.tKW head heavier than for Iaa4 week, but as compared with the same week of last year the supply h.ts been less than a third a large. Packers have handled the offerings In quite satisfactory mai.rer and the week Is closing with a good, strong tone to the trade. It Is evident, however, that the market will not stand any material In crease In receipts the first or the week, and commission men are advising their custo mers to be cautious. The situation here Is Just as good ns at other points, and where a shipper wants to take, the risk of marketlrg some of his stock, nothing will be gained bv passing this market. The safest plan will be for shippers to consult their commission firm before sending In any great quantity. The feeder market has not changed much during the week.
