' There wan enough excitement In the opening; of the wheat market in Chicago tina morning to make even the bulla ner vous at Hi-? display of strength and tho demand for the Bruin for all futures nnd for Immediate delivery. The first mien of new September were on the road to $1.03, while the oll September delivery did not atop Ion before It turned ll.M4. while Iecember reached $l.irj' ana Muy $1.04. These advance showed an nveraa-e net gain of kc a bushel, and corn followed, but to a much modified extent. It was a repe tition of all the and and long drawn out tales of woe, repeated, confirmed, Iterated and emphasized. Iat night' rain whb not local, but was quite general over Nebraska, Minnesota, the Dakota. Kan ens and Missouri. It la admitted that It did not do wheat any Rood, that It would not even help corn, and that unharvested oata would get the worst of It. The gov ernment spring wheHt crop condition August 1 la expected, but the trade doea not believe that it win enow mo damage from ruat which has developed largely dur ing the Interim between the first of the month and now. The receipts of car lota of grain at all points were heavy, but the estimates for tomorrow were about half of the totals nt today, thla being especially the case In Chicago. This would acorn to Indicate that elevator men and furmers generally are beginning to realize crop prospects else where and the shortage in wheut for ex portation, and they are beginning to hold back, Prices are high and commeod them selves to conservative traders who sre not in the hnblt of waiting for the very top. The situation In Omaha Is promising for the future of thla market. The receipts are Increasing and elevator men should realise the fact that they cannot sond too much grain to market. Omaha can take ail sent here nnd the price Is relatively liiKher than elsewhere. 1 he-commlsslon houses have large outside milling orders and Omuha mills are after wheat. When No. t hard wheat spIIs here at H'a92 us It did today, t should com mend itself as a flrHt-clnss receiving market and one that the elevator men of Nebraaka should foster Every effort Is made to get high prices and the buyers know that con ditions warrant good values. The range varies on tho test weight. A movement Is Inaugurated in this column today to give test weights on wheat, for with this knowl edge the seller enn come very close to fig uring on probable prices In the market. The speculative markets became softer after the big rise of the early part of the session and protit-taking by speculators In the habit of taklug profits and waiting for reactions to got In again. With this, period of liquidation prices reacted very close to the final figures of yesterday, where they held with considerable stubbornness. Tha volume of business waa heavy and the proa, pect for continued lively Interest in tha market Is excellent. Final crop figures will tell Just which way values will Jump and It will take more than a n50,ooo,0u0 bu. crop of wheat to cause price concessions. During tha first half hour of the afternoon the market displayed even more signs of weakness and not only was the entire ad vance lost, but there were additional etc rllnes reaching to 4 of a point on Septem ber wheat and December as well. Then In the closing: ten minutes of the iesion the shorts commenced to get in 'out of possible trouble and their buying with tha assist ance of a little pressure from bull Interest caused an advance so that the losses of the day were regained and the final figures closings were about c on an average higher than Monday's. i Corn and oats were active and I at one time the former was lo higher for Sep tember, but the advance was not fully held and tha closings on both the grains were comparatively . steady and not much changed. .

The government crop report tomorrow will take in conditions to August 1; It will not take into account the oamage from rust, as at that date It had hardiy made Its sppearanee. Since then rust has spread rapluiy through the three northern states so that the tair promise of August 1 hss been changed almost. If not quite, to a calamity. The Dallas, Tex., correspondent of the Grain Dealers' Journal writes: "During the lost three weeks wheat has been climbing and even at the advanced price mll.ers are unable to gt enough wneat. No doubt a great quantity of wheat will be shipped into this state to meet the de mand of the mills. The crop is very much shorter than was anticipated. Prices are very stilt and flour advances may be looked for." The Western Elevator company of Wi nona, Minn., sends the following message from Huron, B. D., sent by their traveling auditor: -The black rust has damageJ the wheat crop in my territory at least 0 per cent and in some localities It Is dam aged .6 per cent, while the grade has been cut down to No. 3 1 rejected and no graoe. This black rust or disease has spread very rspldly and localities where there was no rust the first of the week have been stricken the last few days and the crop nearly ruined. There are thousands of acres being cut that will not pay expenses of ahrvesung and threshing. The barley and oats crops are very good, not being damaged by the rust. One farmer, living near Huron, threshed his wheat out today. It made seven bushels to the acre and tested forty-seven pounds to the bushel. This state has the poorest quality of wheat this year that It ever had and the yield will be the poorest for a good many years." Financial Gossip.

GRAI AND PROVISIONS Features of the Trading; and Closing Prices on Board of Trade. ' CHICAGO, Aug. 3. Notwithstanding a deluge of sales and a temporary break of over 2V4c In the price of wheat, frensled buying resulted In a net gain of prac tically a cent a bUBhel today. Corn Is off WiH4- Oats are up tog'Vio. Provlt-iong vary from Wb7Hc lower to ihifitc higher. The Impetus gained from yesterday's sen sational advance with further crop dam age, reports of even more serious import formed the uplifting factor in the wheat market, September ranged at the start from ycHterJay's closing figure, $1.01, to a cent higher and immediately began to soar. Dnder the growing pressure September went to 31.03 and there was apparently little to be had until that point wns reached.' The new flood of wheat came out on realising sales and the price broke to fl.OOVifr LOW. Offerings, however, were so freshly absorbed by (the crowd that be fore the new sentiment became a per manent element there was a return of the clamorous buying disposition and prices readily responded, September closing firm at 31.01. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 47,4KB bushels. Bradstreet's available supply showed an increase of 1,307,000 bushels against 8,848,000 bushels decreuso for the same period last year. Primary receipts, 873.0(10 bushels. Minne apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re ceipts of 37t) cars against 428 last week and 54 a year ago. : Corn received considerable benefit front the speculative Interest In wheat, Bep lemher starting at 64 to. 640 and ad vancing to 65o. When the break occurred in the price of wheat a corresponding re action followed in the corn pit. The de cline carried September corn down to R3o and but little of the Initial advance waa recovered. September closed steady at UVi'EiWc. Local receipts were 358 cars. An easy tone prevailed In oats after an opening steadied by the other grains. Heavy receipts of oats and excellence of grading, together with Indifferent cash de mand operated to hold prices In check. September closed at 31c, after ranging between 3333c. Local receipts Were 640 cars. . Provisions were steady with trade dull and without any significant feature. Com mission houses bought freely at the start, but the prevailing disposition waa to sell. September pork waa off 6c to 7Hc St the close. Lard was unchanged at 3U7W Ribs closed 2Wnl3 higher at 37.65.

NEWYORR STOCKS AND BONDS Ball Late in Afternoon Brings Market Oat of Its Depretiion. SOUTHERN PACIFIC LEADS THE RALLY Retarn to Xormal Conditions of , Whent Market Is Also aaT Oees slon of Relief for gpernlators. NEW YORK, Aug. 3-The factor which depressed stocks yesterday were still In force today and were effective during the early part of the exchange session, but they did not prevent an effective rallv In the latter part of the day. An element In the rally was the buying to cover by pro fessional operators, who were disappointed that the adverse factors in the outlook had not Induced others than themselve to sell stocks. Also the buvlng to support the market was attributed to Influential and powerful sources, which had the effect of discouraging professional attsck upon prices. The buying In Southern Paclflo was deemed especially Imposing and this stock led the rally, aa It did yesterday. The ap proach of the hour of adjournment of the wheat market was a period of most effec tive recovery In stocks. Indicating the feel ing of relief at the removal of that imme diate factor of disturbance. There seemed to bs favorable conclusions drawn also from the relatively less violent movement In the price of wheat than yesterday. Corn did not escape the prevailing deduction from the weather conditions and was manifestly buoyed up as well by sympathy with the wheat market. The announced cut In price of steel bil lets and the probsble consequence to the continuance of the pool continued under active discussion and Induced the early de cline In L'nlted States Steel preferred. The episode under suspicion of a speculative motive and the personalities associated with It made the professional element wary of It, mindful of some severe experiences of the past. United States 3teel preferred In fact turned strong in the late dealings snd waa one of the late leaders of the con troversy. Metropolitan Street Railway was the most active stock on the list and Its successive flights to higher price levels were regarded as corroborative of the per sistent rumors of an amalgamation with the Interborough Rapid TranBlt. The rise In the stock, which extended to 4 points, waa a sustaining Influence on the whole list. Renewed disquiet abroad ovef Interna tional politics helped to unsettle the money market and a further advance In sterling exchange made a gold movement to Lon don practically certain. It Is understood that some 33.000.000 additional gold coin will also go to Cuba during the week. Senti ment was undisturbed by these prospects and the market closed very steady and practically at the top level. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par Value, 32.246,000.

The cow market was about In the same conuitlou It has been for some time past. Buyers wenta around and picked out the bunches they wanted and paid aoout steady prices. After that the market i was very siow and salesmen had to take what they could est for the cattle that were left. Receipts were made up almost entirely of western graaa cattle, not enough corn-feds being on aale to make a market. As ststeu aiany times previous to this through these columns there is no demand from packers for the canning grades and common cut ters and that ciass should be kopt at home until the situation Improves. There was no particular change in the market for bulls, veal calves and stags. There were between live and ten loads of stockers and feeders on sale and prices held about steady. The same as usual, common stuff waa rather hard to move. ' There were, comparatively few western grass beef steers on sale and those that aid arrive were no mors than steady.
