A the threshing goes on and the returns sre received 11 or dins to look mora and more as It tuere might be trouble Id finding the wheat to euver on September contract. .Many short are being converted to UU theory ana me ' ringing or settlement action on. ma Chicago speculative market was a lec ture of the day. Not only were the dm.iage reports on wnfat insistent, out mere were many re ports ot tiring of corn from Indiana, Illi nois, eastern Iowa and some psrts of west ern Kansas and Nebraska. This Is sup posed to be the weather that advance corn so rapidly that the listening ear tan liexr It grow, but the tale ot the gosMps this morning was otherwise. It is claimed that the earlier rains have packed the ground and that the eon son of drouth ex perienced in the Inst few weeks has fired tho corn. Of course, the gossip mills are working overtime these days and the corn crop Is far away from being destroyed It will probably be a bumper, but the market evidently took stock In the fire rumors, for the price was advanced sharply on the September delivery and nearly I point on urn ueiorreu juiurea. Onte also got a' hump on themselves, moving up with the rest of the list, but only "A cent. The bulls were In control of wverytning and they were not rushing 10 take profits, showln Ing a feeling of confidence The future may change in the situation. It, but for the present prices are satis factory to elevator men and should be gathered In before rain knocks corn down. Twombly, Son A Co had two samples of northern wheat on exhibition In the stalk, with them were letters and an nplnoon from Mr. Twombly, sr. to the effect that the damage had been exaggerated. The samples shown were bud, and certainly not attractive as flour producers. The Omaha cash grain market was splen did. The assortment of wheat and corn was good. The wheat prices are especially attractive, ranging from 76o for 48-lb. grade to 91Hc for M-lb. No. 3.

CHICAGO GRAIN A31) PROVISIONS Features of tho Trading; and Closing Prices oa Board of Trade. CHICAGO, Aug. 15. Wheat Was nearly crowded from the spot-light area of spec, ulative Interest today by a drouth scare In corn. Wheat, however, as the result of fresh reports of crop damage, remained the chlel attraction, Heptember advancing 2c from the lowest point of the day and finishing nlth a net gain of 2c. In corn the chief trading was In the new prop deliv eries, December closing with a net ad vance of m'a'ic. Beptember corn scored a net advance of 1C. Oats were up He, Provisions closed 2Vu7Ha higher. Opening trades In heptember wheat were made nil the way from $1.0'. to 31.01, being Vic to o lower to Vyfcc higher than the previous close, fluctuations within that range came so rapidly that for a time the trend ol the market could be followed only with great difficulty. Kepteniber climbed step by step to $1.03, Sales by scalpers caused a reaction In the Beptember option toward the close to $1.02S1.024c Tho strength, however, was well maintained to the end. The market was paradoxical In that the later strength was helped by the tone of the corn market, which hitherto has borrowed much of Its strength from wheat. The amount of flour and wheat on passage moving the past week showed an increase of 4W,0X bushuls and the visible supply Increased 460,ii bushels. Primary receipts were 1,316,000 bushels, compared wllh t7,0OO bushels u year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi cago reported receipts of 334 oars, against 853 last week and 209 cars a year ago. A new and serious condition appears to confront the corn trnde. Complaints of backward growth and poor prospects be came so pronounced today that bulls nnd bears alike gave heed to them. The result ing; wave of speculative buying changed the market from steadiness to buoyancy. September sturted He lower to He higher, at and advanced to 64ttc, the- clos ing figure. The lend of the commission houses was soon followed by those local traders who sold short early, and on each succeeding bulge the offerings became lighter. The upward tendency was most marked In prices for the new crop months, December starting with a gain of W(tc at MV' and closing at 634c, a net gain of 2M(2c. May sold up from 50H to 61c at the opening to b'2c. in the flnttl trading, a gain of 2MiC. Local receipts were 94 cars, of which two were of contract grade. There was activity In the oats trade, which shared the strength of corn and wheat. Beptember opened unchanged at 33140 and advanced to 34Hc. Some influ ential trading by one of the speculative loaders checked the advance and carried tho Beptember price back to 34c at the close. The tune was lirm at the lower flgure. Local receipts were 322 cars. Apparently an effort was made to bull the provision market at the start and higher prices ruled. A large line of lard was thrown on the market by one of the large packers and its effect was to stay the ad vance. The market sold strong, however, unde: liberal commission house demand and the close showed a gain In September pork of 7 Vic at $11.67A; of 6c In lard, at $0.82H, and of 2VC. in ribs, at $7.474.

ALL DIVISIONS OF MARKET SHARE BOOM Early To no Gives Convincing Evl- 'deaee of lomethlBSJ Llko Crys tallisation of Confldeneo la Fatare Operations. Nfc'W YORK, Aug. 15.-Th creeping movement ot pi Ices which was the cnar acterisiic ot last wees, a stock market de veloped into a strong and comprehensive upward movement today. Ihe volume 01 transactions roi- above the previous total of any day miring the present movement. The market was broad and the strength and activity vt-rj all Distributed, prac tically all uivlslons of the market sharing in the sdvsnce. There was much selling to take profits during tne day and con stant actions In consequence, but the man ner of digesting this profit taking was more convincing as to tne health of the market than the upward rush of prices It self. There was no Important development In tho news today or since the close of tho market last week, but the early tone gave convincing evidence of something like a crystallizing or confluence in the tuture of the market. London was reported in more confident mood over Its money out look. That capacity was said to draw aft augury of a hastened peace In the far east as a consequence of the serious reverse to the Russian naval forces. The basis ot the growth of confidence here was quite clearly the faith that the country Is to enjoy prosperous crops. The corn and cot ton carriers showed the greatest effects from this ralth, but St. Paul, as a wheat carrier, w ith large spring wheat traffic, was not excluded. Good prospects In the stfel trade have held Pennsylvania at times, but the movement of these stocks today seemed more to be based on assump tions of the good to come from the croiis to the whole country. United States pre ferred was the conspicuous laggard In the days movement. Southern Pacific was also under constant pressure to tnke profits and made Its highest price on the running quotations and at the opening. The Metro politan tractions were feverish and Irreg ular.

The big end of the re ceipts consisted of western, though there was quite a- sprinkling of natives. Re ceipts at other points were not as heavy as generally expected and as a result tho market held up in fairly good shape. Packers started out In good season this morning and they all seemed to want a few corn-fed steers. As there were not many on sale eulusmen exuerlenced little difficulty In getting Just about last week's closing prices for everything at all desir able. Most everything changed hands In good season. Buyers also picked out the better bunches of western grass beef steers and paid just about steady prices for them. After that was done, however, the market was rather slow and around a dime lower, some sales being as much as 15c lower where the quality was not good. There were quite a number of westerns on sale that could not be classed better than fair. The cow market was very uneven. The better grades in most cases commanded steady prices, but the fair to medium kinds were rather neglected and sold steady to a dime lower. Canners snd common cutters seemed to be as much of a drug on the market as ever and at a late hour quite a number of that kind were unsold. Bulls, venl calves and stags did not show much change from the close of last week. They were rather slow sole. Offerings included a stood many stockers and feeders for which there was a very limited demand. Speculators carried over a good many from last week and indica tions are not considered very favorable for much of an Improvement in the demand from ins country this weeg. as a result speculators were very cautious and the market should be quoted slow and 10'glao lower.

At the opening ,)f the merket buyers took hold f.-ilrly wel. snd picked out some of the better loads at an advance of Ouioc. the light weights of good qunllty showing the greatest Improve ment. They only bought a few loads, how ever, before they begun to benr the mnrket nnd flnallv stopped trying- to buy anythtnu. That beln- 'the esse salesmen who had heavy and particularly cosrse heavy hoirs could scarcely get a hid on tnem, to soy nothing of getting what looked like n sstlsfnctnrv nrlce. The hp.ivv hogs Sold early, mostly from $4 95 to $5 00. with some common stuff from $195 down. Mixed hogs sold mostlv from 15.00 to $5 06 nnd choice lights and butcher welchts from $ii.05 to 5.12. with a few hogs st $5.15. At noon there were ten or a doxen loads In first hands and puckers seemed to be pretty well filled up Some sales wero made about noon at 2U,fi5c lower than the morning market. The general situation could best be described by calling the mnrket opening fcifiloc higher and closing very siow, with part of tne advance osu Representative sales: No. At. Sh. pr. No. Av. th.

The few that wer" on s:ile at the opening sold at about steady prices where the quality was satisfactory, but after that the market was slow nnd weak. Buyers did not seem to have very heavy orders to fill and took advantage of the opportunity to pound the market to some extent. The day wns well advanced before the bulk of the arrivals wns disposed of. Pome of the same Idaho wethers that sold for :i.6o Inst week sold early this morning for the same price a,id some Idnho ewes brought $3.40. There were very few feeders Included In the receipts this morning and the demand wns sufllclent to hold prices steady. Hie demand for feeders is still far In excess of the supply.
