CHICAGO, Aug 11-Clearing weather In
the northwest ellminsted speculstlvc Inter
est In wheat and left the market dull and
easy. 8cptember closed IV down. Sep
tember corn Is up .c. (mts are off a shade.
Provisions cloned from 2ic to 7yc lower.
An early Indication of weakness in north
western markets was reflected here by an
InltUl decline In September wheat of Hgvc
I" WiSc at h2'HKic. A period of selimg
at the outset forced the near option still
further down the scale. Rains In the spring
wheat districts having seemingly been re
sponsible for the recent advsnce. Its cessa
tion was the signal for a return of bearish
sentiment. September declined to 81c and
although some short lines were covered at
that llgure the market acquired no buoy
ancy. The Close was easy, with September
a shade above the low point at 81lSc.
ilradstreet's exports of wheat and flour
for the week were l.fltat.ooo bu., as atralnpt
1.073.KO for the corresponding week last
year. Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 71.x bu., cornpured with 4M.7"0
for five days last year. Primary receipts
were 6W.0i( bu., against 7M.( a year ago.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 262 cars, aa against 2M last week
and 16 a year ago.
A good demand for corn for export was
the dominating feature In the market for
that cereal. Prices were easier under
scattered selling by small holders who were
pessimistic under promises of a large yield.
J'he taking on of a large line of old crop
September delivery by a prominent com
mission house brought about a mild re
versal of sentiment and advanced all de
liveries. New September, which was down
feiti'V: at the opening, at f2V'4-7c, gained
an even cent over the opening, but re
acted and closed steady at ivic. Local
receipts were 306 cars, of which 136 were
of contract grade.
Scattered selling by commission houses
caused a shade of a loss in oats, after
Which prices did not very much. I'cmand
for export was reported good and this had
a sustaining Influence. September ranged
between afPi'-tic and 26Hc, closing steady
at 26c. Ixxal receipts Were 2fi2 cars.
Provisions were steady, although prices
suffered to some extent from realizing
sales by local holders. Packers favored the
buying side und there was a moderate
shipping demand. Heptembi r pork closed
lTiC off at 314.15, lard is down oc at IT.721
and ribs made a net loss of 2tc at $.72'y
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat,
67 cars; corn, 296 cars; oats, iSi cars; hogs,
1000 head.

NEW TORK. Aug. 1 -Precautionary
measures to preserve profits In the shape of
selling to realise overbore the new buving
demand today and gave the stock market of
the day a reactionary tone as a whole.
Some question as to the possible effect of
the outcome of the peRre conference t
Portsmouth and the large Inroads of the
week on the cash reserves of the hanks em
phasised the disposition to reduce com
mitments. The market continued to show
firm undertone, which was manifested bv
the progressive dullness of the trading as
prices declined. The selling. In fact, was
not Pursued aggressively and the market
hsd Its polntj of possible strength as well,
although these were few In number and
without the prevailing effect that has been
seen on previous days of the week. The
pushing nn of a few ifnbi ,,v...(n,.-i..
for the purpose of sustaining the rest of
j ne muriPi auring the process or proflt-tnk-Itig.
The perception of this fact diminished
the effect of the advances. St. Paul was
the conspicuous Instance of early strength
and It was mnde to open at a wide advance
oyer last night, while active selling begun
almost Immediately at all other points In
the list. Late In the day an enormous ac
cumulation of Pennsylvania set In and this
served to hold the level of prices for a time
lit other points. Reading also went to a
new high level during the day. This abou
cxhnusts the list of strong stocks among
the active market leaders. Otherwise the
pressure to sell was quite general, but was
most marked In the latest specul:.1ive
favorites. The renewal of the dispute over
freight rates between the coast and gulf
lines wns a disturbing factor upon senti
ment and the outbreak of yellow fever at
new points In the south also was disliked.
The sustained firmness of Japanese and
1 'm.1? T,,vernment securities kept tip the
belief In financial circles In an ultimata
agreement on a peace trenty at Ports
mouth, hut the almost hopeless tone of
much of the news reports and of the dip
lomatic utterances from that point were not
without their Influenco on sentiment. The
possibility of the failure of the conference
had Its part In Inducing profit-taking sales.
Hut the preliminary estimates of the cur
rency movement for the week, indicating a
mss to the Interior of something over 34,004,
0110, was the predominant Influence on the
market, especially as the subtreasurv has
absorbed from the banks In addition" some
gl.r.4,.oi0. With the enormous crops In pros
pect and the great business nctivlty of the
Interior this requirement may be expected
to expand from this time forward. Whllo
the market showed resistance from time to
time prices were tending downward at the
close, which was at about the lowest of the
day.
Honds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, 33.8uO.00O. Vnlted States 3s advanced
. the old 4s H and the new 4s Vf per cent

CATTLE There was a light run here
even for a Friday, only about thirty-nine
loads being received. The receipts show a
Decrease or aDout twelve loads as compared
with last Friday and a decrease of seven
teen cars as compared with the correspond
ing day last year. The quality of the cattle
was fairly good.
Beef steers constituted the big end of the
receipts today and there were nearly as
many cornfeds as there were westerns.
There was a good demand for supples from
all sources and sellers found conditions to
their advantage. Activity was a feature
of the trade and, although about naif of
the cattle were late In arrvlng, a clearance
was made In good season. There were not
many choice steers here, but the general
run was good. On the cornfeds, where
quality showed, prices were strong and In
some cases a dime higher. Commoner
grades of both natives and westerns were
not wanted very badly and were barely
steady. The good western cattle were In
about the same condition aa the choice na
tives and the general market was strong
to a shade higher.
The cow and heifer market was good
and active. Buyers wanted the cattle and
were willing to do a little better than yes
terday. Natives and westerns were In
about the same supply and were picked up
readily ot stronger prices.
The trade on bulls, veal calves and stags
followed other kinds of cattle and stronger
prices were paid for the better grades.
Stockers and feeders were In small supply
and were not In as good demand as yester
day. As usual the latter part of the week
the market was a little slow, although
prices held fully steady. Representative

HOGS After the unusual strength which
developed In yesterday's late market and
with light receipts today, sellers thought
they should have more money aud held
their hogs at pretty stiff figures. This fact
caused a slow market on the start and little
was done early. There were seventy-eight
loads reported, but a good many of them
did not get In till late, which also muds
trading araggy. After buyers and sellers
got together, however, trading was better,
but was at no time what might be called
an gctlve market. The quality of the hogs
was fairly good. The market was about
a nlrkel higher than yesterday's general
trade, some light hugs selling even better
than this. The bulk of tiie hogs sold at
f K' Vu6.7V. The close was slow and weak.

were uneven. Americans opened dull and
