alow. Strength in the cash wheat market,
based on ducreaaed receipt and foreign
demand, was reflected In the futures by
advances all along the line. Minneapolis,
which ruled strong all day, thua giving
color to reports of disappointing yields In
the northwest, was an Influence, especially
as many speculators believed that a reac
tion waa due after the recent continuous
decline. Receipts at Minneapolis are In
creasing but the quality Is said to be be
low par. Canadian reports were rosy. Cash
discounts on September are disappearing
- rapidly, the trade going Into December
and May options. There waa growing ap
prehension as to the effect of the Engllnh
strike on American grain market. Beptem
ber sold between MSa'a IKHic and 89Hgc,
closing close to the top.
The close In the corn pit found prices at
the top for the day. The volume of busi
ness transacted vas small. The cash de
mand here was slim. September sold be
tween 64744Sc and 644c and closed at the

market on the floor. Cash oats In the
sample market were '-c to 'c higher. Sep
tember sold between 42c and 41c, closing

Which Retrains More Than
Tfcree Points.
NEW YORK, Aug. l7.-8ome s ight Im
provement was shown by the stock market
today. At the aliening a drive of the (-hurts
served to depress prices of many issues to
a new low level, but the list Bo.in became
relatively steady.
Shortlv before the close another selling
movement obllteiated a majority of the
gains, the general list beln lower than
the preceding day.
The most encouraiflnK feature was the
bin Ing and resultant strength of I'nlon Pa
cific, which, after selling down to yester
dny's low point, rebounded, and by mid
day had gained more than three points.
If surface conditions nmv be accepted aa
a guide buving of Cnlon Pacific today
eminated from substantial sources which
have vehemently denied much of the gossip
recently current and denounced the selling
of I'nlon Pacific as having orlslnated In
obscure or Irresponsible quarters.
I'nlted States Steel also reflected good
support at advancing prices, although
turning heavv when offerings became too
free. The stock waa taken In large
amounts, the day's output being 217,000
shares.
Manv stocks displayed a distinct lack
ward tendencv, particularly St. Paul. Read
ing. Lehigh Valley and the Hill Issues.
The street waa plainly discouraged over
the prospects of indefinite prolongation of
the congressional session and the apparent
failure of the efforts to adjust the labor
situation In England. The statement of
the Bank of England conveyed no Idea of
any undue strain. Its proportion of re
serves to liabilities Increased almost 2 per
cent and was well above the average for
the last ten years. London was fairly
active here, selling about 15,000 shares on
balances, mostlv Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific and United States Steel.
The bond market was easy. Total sales,

v" CATTLE Recelps of cattle were again
very moderate, leaving the total for the
four days almost 3,000 head behind the
record for the same days laat week and
over 6,000 head short of the figure for the
corresondirig four days a year ago. The
market aa a whole waa In satisfactory
condition from start to finish.
Buyers of beef steers were all out In
the yards In good season In the morning
and it did not take them very long to
clean) up everything in sight. Still the trade
was not active, it being a rather slow, but
fully steady market. There were some cat
tle here better than anything seen in the
yards for a long time, one bunch selling up
as high as $7.80, not only the highest prices
touched so far this year, but the highest
of any time since September of last year,
when $7.85 was the top.
Cows and heifers were in fair demand,
but the market was without any especially
new or entertaining features. Prices In
the main were fully steady with yesterday.
The offerings of stock cattle and feeders
were very small, but the demand was
good for the better grades. As high aa $5.80
was paid for choice branded westerns.

HOGS The market for hogs had a rather
uneventful appearance, all buyers allowing
prices just about ateady, but resisting any
efforta toward Improvement. About eighty
five loads of animals, mostly heavy butch
ers, consisting largely of aows, made up
the run. and despite continued limited re
ceipts the demand from all quarters proved
conservative. Droves for local killing were
put up in leisurely fashion, costing around
$7.10fn7.15. Extra heavy and rough packers
moved at or near $7.03.
Support from shippers and speculators
still cuts a big figure In the trade, fully
10 per cent of the run moving Into channela
other than local packing. Closing demand
waa possibly a little stronger than the de
mand early in tba sesalon, but It was well
along toward 11 o'clock before ySrds were J
entlrelv cleared.
Rest bscon animals on sale moved at
$7.46, Identical with yesterday a blah price.
while ordinary butchers sold largely at
$7.10. Representative aalea:

SHEEP Somethlnit like thirty-seven
loada of stock arrived, fully 80 per cent of
this estimate being feeders and In-between
rangers.
Tnide In all of Its branches was rather
late in starting, the delay In fat sheep
partly arising from the necessity of sort
ing and shaping up the supply In general.
Demand for good killing grades had a
strong undertone, however, and bulk of
business was done on a steady to shade
higher basis. Toppy ewes reached $3.6V
the highest price paid for some time, and
fat yearllnga on the handy weight order
went to a packers' pen at $4.75. The per
centage of heavy wethers Is becoming
smaller dally, of course, and while the de
mand Is naturally more responsive early
rounds produced little business of conse
quence. Good heavy wethers are selling
around $3.40rd3.50 and handy classes are
quotable up to $3.75. As compared with
last week's close all kinds of fat sheep
are closing firm Xo perhaps a little higher
in spots.
Good Ismbs moved with a fair degree
of freedom around $6.5"fff6.fi5. Indicating a
steady trade and a quotable limit of $6.90
or $7.00. Much of the strength apparent
earlier In the week has vanished and cur
rent values average generally steady with
those of laat Friday.
Feeder demand failed to show as much
ilfe as on recent days, but this condition
was not very surprising In view of the
fact that a reduced week-end supply Is
generally large enough to satisfy a coun
try demand of curtailed volume on the clos
ing days of any week. Prices were well
sustained, even though trading was quiet,
leaving a set of quotations that show lott
40c advances over last week's close. Feeder
purchases yesterday amounted to 4,800
head, about half of total receipts.

discusses his recent appearance before
the congrestonal committee investigating
the Steel Corporation, repeating the written
statement he then presented and dealing
with some of the lines of Inquiry and Irs
responses. He says:
"On Saturday. August 6, In compliance
with the request of the chairman of the
congreslonal committee Investigating the
absorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
compiiny by tic Steel corporation, 1 ap
peared before that body. 1 had nothing
hew to which to testify. There was tint
a fact of the sMKhtest Importance or of
the slightest bcaiing upon my action which
was not already known, and which hail
not been known from the time I acted
and Incidentally I may mention that this
Is also true as regnrds Panama, the deal
ings of my administration with the Sugar
Trust or any other trust, and aa to any
other action of my administration. No
body need feet either concern r hope as
to whether anything done by my adminis

was. hidden.
Did Not Inquire About Motives.
"I made to the committee the statement
which follows. Several questions wers
then askrd by different members of the
committee. Most of these questions dealt
with matters not of sufficient moment to
warrant allusion to them here. Many of
them were as to what my belief was con
cerning the motives of the Steel Corpora
tion pcoplo In auqtyrlng the Tennessee Coal
& Iron company's property; to which, of
course, my answer was that It was not
my business, and neither was It In my
power to search the hidden domain of mo
tive, and that my action was conditioned,
not upon what 1 believed to be the mo
tives actuating the Steel Corporation, but
upon my belief that the action which they
proposed taking would be enormously to
the benefit of the community at large at
that particular moment. Whether the chief
motive for their action was a doelre to
absorb the Tennessee Coal & Iron com
pany, or whether their chief motive was
to save the threatened New York firm
from failure, and thereby stop the panic,
was ot no concern to me.
"That both motives were in their minds
I thought possible, and now think possible.
What was the predominant motive was of
no consequence. My concern was that the
action should be taken and the situation
saved to the Interests of the people of the
United States. Most Individuals have short
memories and the events in question took
place nearly four years ago; but if any one
will look back and think the matter over
seriously and in good faith, he will under
stand that It was not a question of saving
any bank or trust company from failure;
the question was of saving the plain people,
the common people. In all parts of the
United States from fearful misery and suf
fering; and this was what my action did.
Action Waa Necessary.
"One of the questions put to me Indicated
disbelief, or, to be more accurate, perhaps,
I should say that It was meant to be under
stood as Indicating disbelief, that the action
taken waa really efficient In stopping the
panic. At the time, and for some months
after the panic had been stopped, no man
would have ventured to express such dis
belief unless prepared to be greeted with
derision by every human being who knew
anything whatever of the actual facts. The
question Is not be be treated seriously, for
It cannot' be so treated. The action taken
was. In my Judgment, the only action that
could stop the panic, and It most certainly
was of enormous, and In all human prob
ability of decisive, Influence In actually
stopping It
"Certain other . question related to the
alleged fact that during the last four years
the ore lands formerly owned by the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company have been
developed until they are of such enormous
Importance as to give to the steel corpora
tion nearly complete control of the steel
buslnrss, through control of the sources
of the raw material. Whether or not this
Is so has no bearing upon the action taken
four years ago. The purchase as made
did not by Itself, one way of the other, af
fect the status of the steel corporation so
far as the Sherman law was concerned; and
this statement Is not affected by considera
tion of what may not be a totally different
state of affairs four years later. I dealt
with facts as they were, not with facts as
they might or might not afterwards be
come. I believe that this coyers every point
of any consequence raised in the questions
put to me after I had made my statement."
