Traders are besinnlmr to uliuw consider able alarm over dry weather In Illinois and Iowa. The market howt-d the effect of the uneasiness. Shipment from primary point were larger than receipts. Bids of 40c were mauo on December corn for delivery In Omaha. September closed at 64c, Old peptember at 54c, December at 4c, old nw:rniDr at no and May at 4tc.

Argentina wheat shipments last week were 2,644.'i0 bushels, and the previous week t.vit.vv ousneis. l orn shipments last wee were 2,463,000 bushels and the previous woek 2.6B.0ih) bushels. The shipments are about ISO per cent heavier than last year. Primary wheat receipts were M&.OOo bushels shipments 400 000 buahHs, against receipts laat year of 70,000 bushels and shipments of 623,(i0 hushnls. t:orn receipts were 4u4.i00 bushels and shipments 413.000 bushels, against receipts of Sii,) bushels last year and shipments of 26.000 bushels. Cash wheat continues to be picked up by the millers and elevator Interests at all points. Probably the strongest factor In the wheat situation Is that the new crop year was entered with old supplies practic ally exhausted. Consumption of the new crop started Immediately and although the southwestern and Chicago markets, as well s Minneapolis, have received a large amount of winter wheat, the accumulation has been very slow. J. A. Kankln, a big Chicago trader, says that while the government report is bear--Ish enough on Its ftice, it is far below the real facts. "The I'nlted 'Slates has produced a crop of 750,000,000 bushels of wheat," said Mr. Rankin. "The Canadian northwest has raised about lOO.Oi 0.000 bushels and Ontario has the biggest crop In Its history. Threshing returns from the north west Indicate that all of the crop esti mates heretofore have been too low. Wheat that was expected to thresh out twelve to fifteen bushels to the acre Is producing eighteen to twenty-five bushels." Kansaa has a bumper corn crop, the gov ernment report suggesting 250 .000,000 bushels. Beoretary Coburn of the State Hoard of Agriculture says the corn crop of Kansas win arouna 2io.iiw.wu Dusncin, asmui. 182,000,000 bushels last year. Many fields will run 75 to lilO bushels to the acre, lie aays. The seaboard sold loo.ono bushels of corn yesterday, mostly for nearby shipment, and reported the foreigners slow bidders.

According to a New York exporter, the crop In 42 out of 64 provinces In central and eastern Russia is a complete failure. Under the stimulus of this report the September option advanced to Mc The market reacted a trifle on profit taking, but the close was strong, with September at 82c.

A material broad ening out In speculation was asgradual pro cess in today s stock market, the early trading showing only Irregular strength und considerable hesitation. The growth In speculative confidence had as Its underlying basis the government report on the condi tions rif the grain crops, but even amongst the railroad stocks Immediately affected by the promise of great crops to be moved, the early movement was Irregular apd halt ing. The corn araniter seemed notably le- luctatit to move, In spite of the stress laid upon tho promise of a bumper corn crop The character of the advices which went out of Wall street last night In the shape of letters and telegrams from commission houses, based on the returns of the grain crop, were calculated 40 excite speculative activity, and these had their effect in the trading. ' Before the day was over the 'ir regular character was repaired to a large extent, and the fairly comprehensive ad vance had been achieved by the process of rotation from one point In the market to another. High priced Investment stocks were, still a feature, and the sensational movements in this class exceeded If) number and extent nnythlng wMnessed in the stock market within the memory of man. These feverish movements were still suspected to be of manipulative origin. But the dltll culty of operating in such mercurial securi ties on any ordinary marginal transaction, and Uie enormous resources required for their actual 'taking up in such, volume as the transactions of yesterday and today rfpresent, added to the mystery Of th-J movement. Ita demonstrations of the tena cious hold of owners on' these shares even at the phenomenal price levels maintained. was taken as evidence, of strqng contldence In futuia values. Foreign markets were watched with at tention for an indication of the probable lutoome of the peace conference at Ports mouth. The stock markets abroad mani fested no uneasiness, but the sharp advance In Sterling Exchange at Paris was indi cative of A purpose to accumulate further reserves there. Discount rates hardened In London in response, and the forelan cx- ch&ngo rate advanced here also. The local money market was totally unaffected. Tne estimates of the currency movement for the week were also significant as showing for the first time this season that the banks have lost cash to the Interior on the bal ance of the movement. The amount seems to be small, and even added to the Weck'a absorption by sub-treasury operations the errect on tne bank reserve to be shown in tomorrow's weekly statement Is not ex pected to be lareje. The usual profit taking on the day's advance unsettled the late market, but there was rallies which carried last prices for some stock to the highest of the day, but left the closing tone Ir regular.

Totals ...1,561 CATTl-E Receipts of cattle were light to day, even for a Friday, only forty-seven cats being on sale. Tne He reclpts were some thirty-nine cars heavier than last Friday ana Just about the same as the day last year. The offerings consisted mostly of western cattlo and there were only a few corn feds on sale. The' stuff 2 was or pretty good quality. the llgnt receipts Tiad a tendency to make a stronger feeling on the steers, and while the market could hardly bo called active, still buyers wanted some cattle and the stuff was picked right along and a clearance was made before midday. There were some pretty good cattle offered and the market was satisfactory. On the good kinds prices were fully steady with yester day and In a few cases sales looked stronger. Commoner grades, as usual were not in good demand and were slow in moving at barely steady -rices. There was only a srnu.ll supply of cows and heifers on eale, but the good strong demand for she stuff that hus been In force for the past week was not in ' evidence today. Ovliig to the light receipts prices were not steady ou the choicer grades, but there was an undertone of weaknesa all through and trading was a little slow. Common cows were not wanted very badly and these kinds showed a slight decline. Bulls, veal calves and stags ruled steady with yesterday's prices and there was no new features to the trade. There was a good supply of atockers and feeders here, considering the size of the receipts and there was plenty to meet the requirements of the trade. At the end of the week yard traders do not try to do much and there was only a fair call for cattle In this division today. Prices were weak; and trading was slow and dull. This weakness Is no criterion of the market, however, and there la a good strong de mand for feeders from the country. Representative sales. 1 BEEF bTEERB. New York Live Stock. Market.
