CHICAGO GRAIX AD PROVIIOf
Fealares of the Tr a dinar and CI wain it
' Prleea on Board of Trade.
CHICAOO. Aug. 21 A wave of limita
tion swept prices downward In the wheat
Pit here today. The erlllng was Induced
by reports of heavy Russian shipments
causing weakness In foreign markets.
8'ptetriljer wheat closed Sti-Se down.
Corn Is off Sc. Onts are down. I'ro
vlslons are up 5?n7ic.
An easy undertone In wheat waa sp
pnrent from the start. Lower foreign quo
tations. Ideal condition for the soring
wheat harvest, together with advices from
the south went Indicating weakness In the
cash situation, augumented the bearlh
feeling. There was nothing In the news
upon which the btilllslily inclined could
selie to bolster up their convictions. Wheat
for September delivery, whlrh was down
Vtie to S-'iHc, at the opening started on
a series of recessions which only baited
when the price had touched 79c.
At the low point, which was reached near
the close of the session, prices rallied to
some extent on covering by shorts, but the
tone continued easy throughout the ses
sion. September left off at souc. Clear
ances of wheat and flour were equal to
111.000 bu. Primary receipts were 1,04.1. (Q
bu. against 1.3J9.0"6 bu. a vear ago. Min
neapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported re
ceipts of 231 cars compared with 39S cars
last week and 373 cars a year ago.
A continuation of fine weather in tne
corn hWt gave the market for that cereal
a weak start which was' further encour
aged by liberal receipts here. Most of the
offerings had their origin In selling orders
sent In to commission houses by out of
town customers, although with the weak
ness becoming more apparent In the wheat
pit, selling of the coarser grain became
more general. September starting with an
Initial loss of c, at 5c, advanced to 5Hc
under tho Impetus of buying by a local
commission firm but later sagRed off to
62Hc, dosing easy at rIc. Local receipts
wero 4t!3 cars, of which 245 cajs were con
tract grade.
The market for oats was weak from the
outset. At the opening prices declined In
sympathy with the weakness In other
grains. Later the tone waa Influenced by
selling orders from the northwest and by
tle large estimate of receipts for tomorrow,
The offerings were taken qitlte freely by
commission houses. September closed at
2.Sc after having ranged between 25c and
U'He. Local receipts were nz cars.
Provisions made a sharp advance on sup
port afforded by the packers. Pork was
especially in demand and the firmness ac
quired bv this product stimulated the en
tire list. Scptemlwr pork closed lTVjc higher
at 114.224. Lard made a gain Of loc at
I7.77v Klbs are up 5c at $s.75.
Estimates for tomorrow: Wheat, 93 cars:
corn. 546 cars; oats, 642 cars; hogs, 19,000

IaarlKe of the Day a ad.
tha Closing Is
Irreaalar.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-lenerl recoveries
from last week's slight reaction wers the
rule In the stock market today, but trad
ing waa dull. For want of some better
excuse the street attributed the falling uff
of business to the latest developments at
Portsmouth. It Is a fact however, that the
substantial financial interests are at last
beginning to display something more than
languid interests in the progress of peace
negotiations. More marked advances to
day, of which there were several, were
limited Jargery U the so-called high class
or Investment stocks. There were a few
exceptions, notably Reading, which movad
to a high record while other less active
Issues attained the highest level reached
In this movement. The advances In Dela
ware & Hudson and the Hill stocks at
tracted little attention, Inasmuch sj It is
generally recognlred that the floating"
supply of these and similar Issues Is small
and manipulators are thus enabled to move
at will. The Oould stocks were prominent
In the day s movements although no special
reasons other than good crop conoltions
weer heard. There was a noteworthy ab
sence of activity during the day In such
stocks as have recently been market lead
ers. Trading n I'nlon Pacific, Southern
Pacific, St. Paul and Atchison wss rela
tively nominal and some pressure was
hown throughout. - This same condition
applied to the leading industrials, Includ-.
Ing I'nited States Steel common and pre
ferred. Amalgamated Copper made no re
sponse to a further advance In the price of
the metal. American Smelting was again
moderately active though Irregular. Of
the minor railway stocks almost the only
one calling for comment is Wisconsin Cen
tral, the common and preferred making
further advances on a rene-al of rumors
hinting at a change of control. The final
hour was quite the dullest of the day with
an Irregular closing.
Uonrtiin s participation In this market was
disappointingly small In - view of the
strength of Americans at that center. For
eign Iwnkers are mostly of the opinion
that tne continent is more Inclined to buy
here on slight recessions than on any
marked development of strength. Time and
call money rates were practically un
changed though Indications point to a
slight hardening in long time loans In
spite of the light demand. There was a
temporary halt In the now of cash to the
Interior but this Is expected to assume Its
fullest proportions In the course of the
next few weeks.
Bonus were Irregular. Total sales per
value. $:,A65,0ii0. United States 2s, and 3s,

CATTLE There was a liberal run here
today, about 23ri cars being on sale. Tho
receipts were about as heavy as last Mon
day, but show an Increase of thlrty-nlno
cars as compared to the same day last
year. The quality of the cattle was good.
Beef steers constituted the big end of
the .receipts, which consisted almost entirely
of western stuff, the supply of natives
being very small. There was a good feel
ing on the choice cattle and a fair demand
rrom all sources. The best grades of both
westerns and natives ruled generally steady
with the close of last week. These good
cattle were picked up In fair season, al
though the market could not be called
active. Common grades were In poor de
mand and sold at easier prices, especially
the half-fat warmed up natives which
always Suffer at thla time of year from the
competition of the western stufT.
Cows and heifers were not In very good
demand, and there was a weak tone to
the trade. . Buyers were ssklng concessions
and bids were lower. . Tl.eie were hardly
any natives received and the western stuff,
although of good quality, sold at prices
ruling weak to a dime lower.
Bulls, veal calves and stans sold In about
the same notches as last Friday and prices
being about steady.
There was a good supply of stockers and
feeders In the yards and there was a strong
demand from both yard traders and the
country buyers. On the good heavy cattle
the market was strong to a dime higher,
and just about steady on the lighter
weights.

for a Monday, but heavy receipts In ths
east and dlscoursglng reports gave buers
a chance to pound the market, which they
did. There er forty-seven cars on sale
and the general quality aas only fair. Buy
ers were bearish snd their early buls
showed a decided decline. Sellers thought
they otight b have, more money for thrir
holdings, however, and as a consequence
trading on the opcalr.g wss slow and
draggy. There wss no activity to the trade
at any time, although ths boss were plckej
up right along. The general market was

SI1EK1" The heaviest run of the year
was received today, seventy cars being on
sale. The receipts have been light here for
the past two weeks and a big run is Just
what everyone wanted. The quality of the
receipts waa very good and there was not
a very big feeder end on the offerings.
There was considerable sorting to be done
and some little time waa consumed In shap
ing up the st uflf, and as a consequence the
opening trade was slow. A good part of tho
receipts consisted of lambs, and on this
account buyers left them till the last, pick
ing up ths old sherp ilrsl. Ijaml-s were
slow, sale and prices were off lifl?0o. old
sheep did not show so -much loss and they
sold generally at a I043I50 decline. The
market on the old sheep was uneven, some
sales showing the full strength of the de
cline noted while other sales were Just
about steady.
Today was the first time for two weeks
that feeder buyers were able to do any
thing, and with a fair supplv of feeders
here thev all felt better. The stuff was
kicked up at prices ruling steady to a dime
lower. There are plenty of orders to be
filled and the demand Is good.
