GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
. go Corn Pit Scene of Great Mar
ket Battle.
OUTSIDERS ARE NONPLUSED
With Tito of the Lnrireat Dealers
Knclnir Ench Other In Suprem
acy Contest Little Fcllo
Are In a Predicament,
OMAHA. Aug. 8, 1913.
One of the neatest If not tha great
est, contests ever witnessed In tho corn
Pit on tho Chicago Hoard of Trade is now
on In earnest. The battle Is In the Sep
tember corn future, and arrayed on the
bull and the bear side of Uio market are
the largest speculators In corn the world
has ever known. The principal shorts
aro doing business through the Armour
Grain company, while the principal longs
are said to be giving their orders through
the Uartlett-Frazler house. Whether
these conditions mean that the Armour
Oratn company Is on the short side of
corn personally or whether that big con
cern Is acting for an outsider, would be
difficult to state with any degrco of ac
curacy, Tho name of James A. Patten
has been mentioned as the bull long, and,
as ho Is a strong believer In the yellow
cereal because of the heavy croti losses.
there Is a possibility of this big trader
Being tne large holder through the house
mentioned above. It Is said that the corn
has been poorly sold but well bought,
which means an old-fashioned "whlpsaw"
for the bear short. In case the Armour
Grain company la the principal short
me representatives or that big concern
Will scour the country for the cash ar
ticle, and It will be bought In and de
livered on contracts when tho month of
September rolls around. The fact that
abnormal strength has been shown In this
cereal from time to time, and that the
buying power invariably made Its appear
ance whenever prices showed signs of
becoming easy, has caused many
In the trade to predict that the shorts
would suffer heavy losses in evening up
their position unless they were enabled
to produce the actual corn. Cash corn
was 2o higher.
The wheat market, coupled with the
oats, la trailing along after tho corn.
The wheat market Is In a rut and will
undoubtedly remain so until corn drops
back .into Its normal position. Cash
wheat was unchanged. Cash oats were
Ktflo higher.
Clearances were 1,000 bushels of corn,
8,000 bushels, of oats and wheat and flour
equal to 1,889,000 bushels.
Liverpool closed ,id lower on wheat and
V4d higher on corn.
Primary wheat receipts were 1,889,000
bushels and shipments were 680,000 bush
ls, against receipts last year of 1,411,000
bushels and shipments of 799,000 bushels.
Primary corn receipts wero 403,000 bush
els and shipments were 292,000 bushels,
against receipts last year of 503,000 bush
els and shipments of 319,000.
Primary oats receipts were 1,107,000 bush
els and shipments were' 464,000 bushels,

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading; and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO. Auir. 8. Government fleures
today on crop losses in corn proved to
be much more bullish than expeoted. Tho
report, however, came too late to affect
prices, the market closlnir easv at a net
advance of gytc to lVic Latest trading
ibii wneat c to ftc down; oats, un
changed to V4o higher and provisions off
2Vi86o to 7Vi10c.
Guesaera on tho Washington estimate
as to yield of corn had put the produc
tion 32,000.000 bushels too high. Advanced
Prices today though, were based not so
much on what the government report
would show but on the continued drouth
In Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa
and the excessive heat in tho two first
named states. The advance carried Sep
tember to a new high level for the
season, iific
Good rain in northern Illinois and
parts of Indiana and Ohio seemed to
make no impression in favor of tha corn
bears. A late dispatch that a hard rain
was In progress at Galveston and El Paso
attracted more attention, the Idea pre
vailing that this ttorm might work north
and bring relief to the district so long
ausuieu uy urouin.
There was the least action in whoat
prices that has taken place In some time.
Because of bearish official figures ex
pected after the close, the crowd feared
to follow the bull turn in corn. The
dread was well grounded, for the Wash
ington report on wheat verified advances
estimated here. Oats displayed sympathy
with the corn bulge. As in wheat, how
ever, correct solicitude regarding bear
ish news from Washington served to
check any decided upturn.
Realizing sales weakened the pro
vision market. Holders were taking ad
vantage of support due to strength of
corn and hogs.

Agricultural Conditions and Mexi
can Situation Dominate,
INTEREST IN CROP REPORT KEEN
Contrary to Expectations, Market
AValtlntr on Statement, Shows
Little Change from Pre
ceding Somnolence.
NEW YORK, Aug. S. Agricultural
conditions and tho Mexican situation
dominated today's Irrcitular stock mar
ket. Interest In the government crop re
port, laaucd In tho final market hour,
waa keen to tho point of anxiety, recent
advices indicating serious damago to
various cereals.
The official report conditioned corn at
75.8, against 86.9 a month ago, 80 last
year and a ton-year nverago of 82.2. In
dicated yield per acre was 5 against 27.8
a month ago and a five-year average of
26.6. Indtcatod crop waa 2,672,000,000 bush
els as against 2,971,000,000 a month ago
and last year's final figures of 3,124.746,000.
The outlook for spring wheat wos
vaBtly Unproved over a month ago, but
below tho average. Indicated total crop
In 744,000.000 bushels, against 701.000,000
laat month and the 1912 final yield of
730.M7.000. , .
Contrary to expectations tho market,
which had been waiting on the crop re
port, ahowed llttlo change from its som
nolence of tho preceding four houra,
which were relieved at odd moments by
heaviness In Union Pacific, Atchison.
Southern Pacific. Texas & Pacific, Mis
souri Paclflo, Reading and 8teel. De
clines of tho lasues ran from 1 to IVi
points, while New Haven, which waa un
der pressure from the outset, recorded
Its lowest price In over a score of years,
at 98H. The decline was accompanied by
rumors suggesting a more conservative
dividend policy. An 8-polnt break In Chi
cago & Alton preforred waa attributed
to the road'a poor earnings. Coppers
were strong in the early deallnga, but
yielded later. Final prlcea showed re
coveries. ... . .
Bonds were irregular with strength In
a few speculative Issues. United Btatea
3a advanced Vi and the 2a and 4a and
Panama 2s Vi on call, whllo Panama

gregated $1,300,000.

CATTLE All told, thero weio only
nine cara of cattlo reported In tho yards
this morning, Aa a matter ot courso
there wero not enough to make a teat
ot the market or really establish quota
tions. The feeling, however, was steady
on practically all kinds, there being little
or no change bo far aa could be observed
In either direction, For tho week re
eelpta havo been large, footing up 16,550
head for the flvo daya. Whllo thta is very
much larger than In recent weeks, It is
entirely normal for this soason ot tho
year, being practically the aamo aa for
the corresponding flvo daya a year ago.
Tho big run this week simply means that
range cattle are beginning to move a
little more- trely. Some cattlo wero also
shipped from southern markets, where
there was an over-supply Incident to free
shipping on account of dry wiutnor,
Tho beat killing cattlo nt tho close of
the week are not very much different
than what they were n week ago, while
other kinds, such aa would come Into
competition' with the cheaper southern
cattle, are 10 16a lower and In some
casea possibly lower than that
Stock cattlo and feeders, as noted before
In these columns, havo broken very
sharpiy on account of roduced demand,
due to fcarof a short corn crop. The
Very best heavy feeders have not shown
ao much decline, but a good many kinds
are duo lower than a week ago and some
kinds possibly more than that
ljuotatloni on cattlo: Uood to choice
steers, 17.76&B.10; common to fair beef
steers. 37.25t'7.75; good to choice heifers,
S0.5tth8.0i); good to cholco cows, U.tVtp

SHEEP Considering the reeelpta t
week ao and a year ago a very mod
erate supply arrived. Today's reeelpta
were augmented by about ten cars of
wethers and yuarllnga left over from yes
terday, some of which were from Wyo
ming and others from Montana, incluu-
Iiir the hotif' overs the supply at the
disposal ot buyers waa not quite up to
normal for a Friday at this time ot the
year. There wero about ao many mut
tons on hnnd aa lambe, tho mutton aup
ply consisting principally of wethers and
yearlings. There wore no really cholco
offerings ot any kind on sale nnd this
fact did not encourage buyers to taka
hold during the first hours,
CJuletnesa was a prominent feature of
the general trade and, as on the day be
foio, the market was late In opening,
and continued droit By moat of the fore
noon. Buyers did not seem to waht any
ttlng In tiio line ot killers very badly at
current price, and, aa a result whon tho
big bulk ot the fat offerlnga had been
picked up, prices were steady to easier
on both sheep and lambs. Aa thero were
no laniba hero aa good aa yesterday,
values did not reach aa high a point, tho
top price being 16,65,
Tho feeder trade waa also nulet and
values had nu easier tendency, though
some snlfs looked to be about In lino with
the way somo stuff waa picked up yes
terday. Feeding lamba are quotable any
where from 36.0U to 16.40, The demand for
feeder ahecp waa not aa broad aa On
tha provloua daya ot the week. Few It
any sales wero made nt tho tlmo ot clos
ing this report.
Comparing prlcoa with a week ago,
both fat and feeder lambs are around a
quarter lowur. Killing ewes, wethers and.
yearlings are smtrtuc otr, while feeder
sheep show very' llttlo If any change. The

Returning from a rour weeks' vacation
apent at Seattle, Will Kocnlg la enthual
aatic over the street decoration and
lighting he saw In Seattle durlnr tU an
nual festival known an "Potlach." but he ,
aaya Ak-Sar-Hon la better than the Pot

"The street llghtlnir wn slmniv nn-.
derful," said Mr. Koenlg. "The lighting
poles wero all covered with plaster of
parla designs representing totem poles;
and they made a grand appearance. The
association handling the festival furnishes
the street decorations In the way of ban

unirorm up and down the street Of
coarse the Individual merchants do some
decorating In front ot their places ot
business." '
The Seattle parade, lie holds, cannot
equal that of the Ak-Sar-Ben, either In
magnificence of floats or In organization,
promptness and system.
The Potlach Is a revival or the old In
dlan festival ot that country, which waa
celebrated years ago by the making of
gifts.
