Twenty loads of corn were worked fur export at New York today at a premium of c over last ales. l'farrls at New York, on his own Inaulry by cable, gives from Ids Hamburg agent, who has ilist-class Russian connections, this cable this morning as follows: "While cropc of wh'-nt and rye are not so good In the north und east of Russia, the south and southwest have a full crop. Taken In ail, the Russian wheat and rye crop will be an average crop." A wire from Philadelphia sny that mar ket offered wheat to Liverpool last nlaht at the lowest price on the crop, but got no acceptances. "Exports of wheat and flour from the Tnlted Htates and Canada for the first six Tefks of the new crop year are already I.ijoO.iO) bushels behind the exceedingly poor record of a yent ago," says nn exporter. "We are still above an export basis, but It seems Incredible we can remain ao very long." Opposed to this view Is James Vettlt of Chicago, who says It Is doubtful If the country ever sees the old-time low level of value of grain. He says money Is too cheap and too plentiful. A Chicago flour broker who sold 1 .100 sacks of hard Kansas City flour yesterday said In discussing the flour situation: "I lust saw two samples of flour, one of the best Kansas hard winter. offered at $4.; the other of Dakota wheat, offered at 14.60. aa4 iitnHw nnur is mo pest tne miners in 4 that state have ever made, and as they nave a good wheat crop, they are taking the trade awny from the northwest." Kan sas has sold 2.Si0.ono bushels of winter wheat to Minneapolis so far this season. This will he ground up Into Minnesota spring wheat flour. Omaha Cash Sales.

NEW TORK, Aug. 12 The disposition to (ell and take prulits which was manifest in the late trading of yesterday on the Mock exchange continued today and an Irregular inaraet resulted. The hesitation of the London market helped to this re sult. The movement encountered good re sistance at the decline anil was followed by an effective recovery, but the realising was renewed In the late dealings, and made the closing Irregular. Some of the high priced railroad stocks which had made skyrocket movements dur ing the week fared rather badly In the realizing process, although their wide de clines were not great compared with the preceding upshoots. The selling seemed to be prompted by some uneasiness over the complexatlon of the bank statement, Judging by the repurchases which set In alter the appearance of that document. It showed all of the expected decrease In cash reserves, but the considerable con traction In the loan item was a total sur prise, In view of the revival of demand for money In speculation during the week. The demand for loans has been sufficient. In fact, to result In hardening the tone of the market to carry over the entire year. It Is probable that the trust companies may have begun taking over loans from thu banks, thus accounting ior uie reuuuwun In that Item by the banks. The reports from the peace conference were watched attentively and the news that the counter proposition of the Rus sians was taken under consideration by the Japanese envoys, which seemed to point the wuy to further negotiations, helped in the late recovery. 1'he very largo buying of Reading and Ontario & Western kept up the tone of the market, but this was offset at the last by the marked pressure upon St. Paul and Amal gamated Copper.

They show an Increase of about 278 car as com pared with last week and are some 224 cars heavier than the same week last year. They were made up of western and corn-fed cattle of good quality. There wer not enough cattle here today to make a test of the market and there wa very little business done on the hill. Market conditions have been very satis factory this week and there Is a good strong feeling to the trade. On Monday the market opened steady to strong and there was very little change In prices any day during the week. The general market Is fully steadv, or, the good kind closed up a little better and the common cattle were a little lower. With the Increased receipt of western cattle the range of prices Is widening some. There are sev eral unusual features noted In the week trade that ar seldom met with at this time of tho year. It is not often that so many good corn-feds are marketed at this time a there were last week. Also, tho supply of western cattle has been light at all points so far. Here, there have been very few westerns except sand hlllers. Cow and heifer for the week are In the same shape as the steer stuff, gen erally steadv. On Thursday a slight break wa noted on the commoner grades, but It was regained Friday and there Is no quotable change In prices. The demand for she stuff was good all the week and the choice grades could safely be called a little stronger. Bulls, veal calves and stags ruled steady all the week and have been picked up readily at the prices. mocker and feeder were In good shape all the week and there is a good strong demand for cat,tle of this class. As with , the steers, the good heavy cattle are , stronger, while lightish grades are a shade 1 off The market eased off on Friday, but ' this was a usuul teature 01 me iraoe, ns yard buyers do very little at the week end. HOGS Condition In the hog yard were better again today. The run was light, only about seventy-four loads being on sale and the demand from all sources wa good. Rough heavy packers were not sought after, although they show a slight advance ulong vlth the general run of the hogs. The market opened early and there wa considerable activity to the early trading, although after the more urgent order had been filled the market wa a little ilow. Price on the opening were 5B10c higher than yesterday and a good part of the light weight hands at the advance.

Four cars of the cay re ceipts ere conaigned direct to packers, leaving only three curs on fcale. As has been noted for several days in these col umns the demand is sood irom all sources and buyers are hungry for supplies and are just waiting lor something to come in. These predictions were vended today und the three cars were sold readily. 8 one 7mj head of Idaho wethers and yearling, weighing 86 pounds, brought $5 30, while a small bunch of Idaho eves soil at $4 65. These prices show a gain of 2f.4Hc a com pared with last Tuesday, which I about the only day price could be cjinpared For the week the market 1 fully 27.g40c higher than the close of last week and the condition of the trade 1 very satisfactory.

REVIEW For the Information of parties who msy be Interested in speculative securities we have made arrangements with Mr F. 14. Druldlng of Chicago, an expert writer on financial topics and delineator of stock ex change probabilities, to furnish a weekly rex lew of the salient features of current financial topics gleaned from the various exchanges H( it sire, however, on the part of Ths Pee to disclaim all responsibility for the M-curatcness of any forecast Mr. Druldlng may make concerning future prospects of any Investment or enterprise. All special Inquiries about the present or prospective value f any particular security should be addressed direct to Mr. F CI. Druiding. No. 5.'4 First National Bank building. Chicago. III. To the observer It would seem that the eastern exponents of high finance methods would In the course of time exhsust them selves of sharp tricks and financial Juggling feats, so that eventually the unsuspecting Investor would come Into his own and be able to place his money where It might net goixl returns without the necessity of sacrificing safety Such, however. Is not the case; some so-called financial genius evolves or devises a new plan whereby the lllmslest collateral Is strengthened to such an extent that a heavy borrowing power Is developed. Then all of those sharp, shrewd promoters to whom the public gen erally user 11k-s consummate ability to keep awake and watch what Is going on. Immedi ately avail themselves of the new system or plan, so that In the course of a few months the entire country is Hooded with a new and startling evolution Inaugurated by the exponents of the new financial f renxy. Perhaps no phase Illustrates this premise so thoroughly as the manner In which bond Issues have been foisted upon tho public. As a matter of nbsolute fact the entire tendency of the country has changed; everybody wants bonds, and every corpora tion wants to sell them. It makes no dif ference whether the corporation owns some swamp land down In Louisiana or a moun tain peak In the Rockies, It he.s bonds to sell. This craze Is so thoroughly under stood by promoters, who iimke a business of studying public sentiment, that in their efforts to vie with one another situations have arisen that are really amusing. A little road known as the Colorado A Southern tins Just asked Its stockholders to authorize an Issue of $100,000,000, which la really enough to build two or three roads Just like the one uon which tho bond Issue Is to be fixed. The Pennsylvania road also Is offering a round hundred million dollars of 34 con vertibles. Recently a company was organized In Chicago for the sole purpose of selling securities based upon Improved Chlrago reel estate. Until this time securities of this character have been called mortgages, but In order to thoroughly comply with the sentiment of the public, this " house, which Is doing a business of almost $6,000, 000 a year, promptly proceeded to devise a system whereby large mortgages were split up Into sections In amounts from $.V up. These blocks were then called bonds. The amusing feature lies In the fact that when this new Institution was selling straight mortgages. It was doing a business of about $40u,0n0 a year; after the bonds were offered It was found that $6.0oo.o00 an nually had been sold. This condition of affairs throughout will continue until these loans are to be renewed. Then those bond holders who spared themselves the orders to All and are very anxious to fill them.

NEW YORK , Aug 12 -COFFER Msrket for futures opened unatcud al firm prices tu a decline vt t puluu uader ltyulilalloo efforts of Investigating the commercial status of the piece of paper which they are holding will proceed to attend to the solemn duties which they have neglected Who will be the sufferer? Those who sold the bonds, or thos who bought them? Not absolutely new. but still -very In structive end very entertaining Is the sys tem w hich Is being employ rii with such gieat success by the gigantic Institutions known as the trusts. Fig, natively speak ing, when shorn of promises and glittering misrepresentations, these gltantlc organisa tions represent great cisterns Into which tho public at large Is busily engsged In dum ing buckets full of money. From the bottom of each tank red ate a thousend drain pipes whose devious and tangled course 110 Philadelphia lawyer could ever follow Into the haxe beyond. To rpeak plainly, most of these colossal crganlzat Ions have wheels within wheels. There are the favored Insiders, who are the happy recipients of commercial favors and the beneilclarles of profits derived from the control of valuable contracts. The son of tHe president Is the head of ft banking Institution through which all securities are bought ar.d sold; the son of the son of the heal, silt piles the Institution with fuel or other necessities. Why are all these construction companies eprlngl'x- Into existence? The proceeds of they build tallroads? The proceed of bonds tliey sell, and then turn tneiu over anain to the next corporation for a great deal more than It cost In bonds and for a big bonus of stock. What follows Is. of course, evident The public is Immediately Invited by prominent bankers to buy these bonds, but In order to assist the banking house In the disvosltlon of these securities, manipulation Is necessary on Wall street, so that the public may be Influenced to buy at high prices. Any delicate matters of finance, such as acquiring of sotne competitive loan, the handling of delicate legislative bodies, tasks of this character are always assigned to the Insiders. The real, true facts of the matter are that these companies are or ganized for the sole purpose of milking the public. Under the aspect of handling an Independent company, an extension Is built and business is propagated, or a com peting firm Is established for the sole and only purpose of consequently turning It over to the mother organization at a hand some profit, so the Insiders may be properly rewarded. At the present writing Wall street Is In a peculiar mood. Price are suspiciously hb'.h. When Erie, needing the proper ter 11 Ir.nls, new rolling stock and perhaps $50,000,100 or more, Is declaring 4 IM'r cent dividends on Its second preferred stock, then look out. Some one Is Interested In tricking the value of Erie common, and he who has It to sell Is Mr. Morgan. A good many stocks are being handled In the (ume way. How long will this: condition of affair continue to exist? How long will tne glamour of colossal organizations- hypno tize the Investing public? 8urely abuses of the cliara-ter which I have outlined must be known to most men that nr" st all Interest d In financial matters. Cnly when tue country financially realizes 1..41 honesty and commercial Integrity exists to a much purer degree In those s"-yiler organ zations, which ere doing a legitimate, clean and honest business under tne skill ful man--oment of stun'v buslncs" -har-a ters will these lamentab'e losraa.
