Rains again In the northwest may delay
the ripening of the spring wheat and glv
the black mat mora of a chanca to spread.
Conditions are daily growing more aerloua.
as several points In Omaha are now re
porting damage by the dreaded mat plague.
Further advances now will depend upon
the new buying power, stimulated by th
bad flnaJ crop returns.
Cash demand In coin Is much Improved
even at the advance In prices, heavy sales
being reported, while receipt are run
ning very light, county holders selling very
little. Light stocks and the pessimistic
crop reports are the chief factors in en
couraging aggressive buying.
Wheat advanced aharply after a slightly
weaker opening and mad new high levela.
Crop newa and sentiment continues bullish
on the northwest situation. Cash wheat
was &lWe higher.
Rain and favorable temperature gave
corn a slightly easier tone. Profit taking
sales Were most In evidence, although news
Is still bullish. Cash corn was Vc higher.

CHICAGO ORAM AND PROVISIONS
Wheat Market Declines Slightly, mn
Cam la Higher.
CHICAOO, Aug. 1 New Investment buy
ing made a broad market today In wheat.
Purchasing was based on a belief that
reports of serious damage to crops in Rus
sia had been confirmed and that there was
truth also under the stories of black ruat
In the Canadian northwest. Closing figures
wers steady, -.(flUao to l'tfHo nigher than
last night. Latest trading left corn So to
&c down, oats up He to Vt&Ho and pro
visions at an advance of So to iU!4tai25a
Harvester sources received most of the
credit for what passed from hand to haad as
sufficiently verifying the supposed disaster
to the wheat crop of Kuasla. One private
cable from Odessa deolared explicitly that
the total yield In the country would be
three-fourths smaller than last year. This
dispatch was Interpreted to mean an output
1101 exceeding 8,uuu,uw bushels, a falling
off so huge as to radically affect prloes
the world over, if a certainty. At no time
did any violent setback Interfere with the
bulge In the market. It was notloeable,
however, that the new buying was almost
wholly In deferred deliveries. During the
session September varied from 90a to 91 Vic
and closed To net higher at Ko.
Profit taking obstructed any tendency to
advance the price of corn. Heavy rains In
Missouri and Iowa were also In favor of
the bears. September fluctuated between
66',o and 660, closing firm but He off at
65'Vo.
Oats sympathised with wheat Illinois re
ports had a restraining effect, showing less
damage than had been looked for. Price
changes for the September option ran from
42V,c to 43Vc with the close 43c. a gain of
14M0 over last night.
Packers actively took the buying side of
provisions and mad the market strong all
day. At the does pork was 10c higher,

NEW TORK, Aug. 4.-The tock market
today continued It retrograde tendency by
establishing a number of new low records
for present movements. All classes of
tncka rartlclnated In the decline, which
for the first time bore the marks of pre
cipitate liquidation from various sources,
together with a very liberal admixture of
short selling. The Ijear party was mor or
less aggressive throughout.
In the early hours of the session the
list manifested some disposition toward
recovery, being aided In this direction by
the better demand for our shares in
London, where International stocks made
general gains, but the absence of anything
like hearty support gave renewed encour
agement to the short accounts, which main
tained It advantage to the close.
Standard OH' continued weaknesa In the
outside market. Its net loss today being 16
points, was again a factor, and a sensa
tional upward move In cotton options, to
which stocks are always more or less sus
ceptible, was viewed with some concern.
Offerings of United States Steel were on
a larger scale today than for some time,
aggregating over 200.000 shares. That stock
was the weakest of the active group, mak
ing a net decline of 21 points. Other Issues
that showed pronounced heaviness and
made severe loeses Include the electrical
stocks. American Smelting, the coppers,
the Hartiman and Hill share, Reading,
I-hlgh Valley, Texas company, Inter
Metropolitan preferred. Brooklyn Union Oas
and Laclede Oas, decline ranging from 2
to 4 points.
Final prices were at the day' low level,
the whole list reflecting a state of de
moralisation. Following the close of the
market It wa reported that much of the
selling resulted from the closing of ac
counts because of Impaired margins.
In the general excitement of the dav little
attention was paid to the money market,
the feature of which win an advance In
fmir months funds to 1V4 per cent, the
highest rate for that period quoted this
year.

decline In stocks. Total sales, par value,

CAT1 LE Cattle receipt a usual on a
Friday were moderate, only about 1.000
head being reported In, but this bring th
total for the five day up to 24,870 head, a
gain of almost 6,000 head over the same
day last week, but a falling off of 2,600
head as compared with a year ago.
The supply of beef steers In the yard
wa extremely small and there was very
little Inducement for buyers to get out lit
the yards and try to do business. As usual
on a Friday the trade was slow and while
the best steers were possibly steady the
feeling generally was very dull and weak.
It Is safe to quote beef steers as around
15(i25c higher than a week ago, both corn
feds and grassera.
There wa a little sprinkling of cow stuff
this morning, but receipts of that kind of
cattle have been very largo this week and
packers apparently had about all they
needed on hand to supply the week' or
ders. A a result they did not try very
hard to buy. In fact, did not seem to care
wheather they got any additional supplies
or not unless they could buy something
way lower. As a result the market was In
very unsatisfactory condition, bids In many
cases being fully 25c lower than yesterday.
It I safe to say that the market on both
cow and heifer I 156Y25c lower than last
week' close, the medium to pretty good
kinds of stock suffering the most decline.
There were very few feeders on sale this
morning and not many wanted. What few
stockers there were were slow and weak.
While the best feeder have sold fully
steady this week the general run of stock
cattle Is around 16f?25c lower.

inctr buijply in the sheep barn con
sisted largely of heavy wethers. Fresh re
ceipts involved fourteen loads of wethers
and three loads of lambs, all rantters.
With yesterday's clearance In every branch
of the trade complete, packers needed little
urging to look over the run, and the result
wa a market easily firm on sheep and all
of a quarter higher on good lambs. Murh
of the discredit attached to weight van
ished and big wethers, the kind tnat have
been poor actors on recent days, moved
with a fair degree of freedom. One brand
that moved at $3.86 yesterday sold at $3.50
today, but the sort was a little heavier.
There were no ewes or yearlings of conse
quence on sale.
Improvement In lamb trade applied only
to a prime three-load oftemig, a sale that
left the market barren. They landed at
$6.85, a price that Is plainly a bid for
larger supplies of young stock. It Indi
cates almost complete recovery of price
losses this week, of course, but some al
lowance must be made for the fact that
declines were In force on several thounand
head, while today's reaction developed on
a three-load trade.
There was nothing doing in feeder, as
sorts were too small to afford anything
like a normal supply. Up to last night the
speculative and country demand proved
ample, however, but prices showed little
quotable change from day to day. About
15,000 head of thin stock changed hand
this week, fully 80 per cent of receipt.
Rig bulk of business has been confined to
feeder sheep, as thin lamb sorts have been
surprisingly light.
Current prices for fat lambs range from
1M(&()c under a week ago, while fa, sheep
show declines of lOITfiOc, heavy stuff suffer
ing more than handy grades.

government cotton report, showing ""I

hesitation among buyers of dry Kpo'la,
although the tone In thla line was a trtfl
better both at wholesale, and retail.
Consumers of Iron and steel constantly

Basic Condition and Advance of Year
Make for Improvement.
NEW TORK. Aug. i.-Bradstref Will
say tomorrow:
There I still considerable Irregularity In
trade conditions, due to cautiousness and
fears of crop damage, but basic condition,
and the advance of the year tend to work;
for a little further improvement. Whlla
merchants continue to feel their way senti
ment as to fall trade is improving slightly,
and arome of the larger centers Jobber
and wholesale dealers have done a rather
better business with outside merchant,
who are beirlnnfng to come to i market. T hi
refers, of course, to buying for future de
livery, for as a matter of fact current trad
still reflects the Influence of midsummer
conditions.
