Du Pias Reports, Help the Former, Country lluylns the Latter Provisions Advance, Wheat Declines. CHICAGO, July 13. Corn and oats, influenced by the weather, led an advance which held wheat steady to-day, corn closing lc higher, oats lU'alc up and wheat A- lower for September delivery. Provisions closed unchanged to TVtc higher. Early reports of Interest to corn traders gave the impression that last night's rains were more liberal than was afterwards thought to be the case, and in consequence sufficient corn was offered to depress the price from ac to ?ic. There was a steady country demand, however, and a rally from KmÜ'öOc. the opening1 fipures, to GlHc, ensued. Profit-taking caused a fractional setback, but sentiment was gradually Becoming decidedly bullish on numerous damage claims, which came in a flood from the corn belt.:- Finally the Impression became general that the rains last night had ben little better than local showers in scattered dif-tricts, and a rush of buying sent September to 52c. The close soon after was strong. llc over yesterday, at 51"sc. Receipts were 227 cars. Oats were strong and active, advancing with scarcely a setback throughout the day. The corn strength was, of course, a help, but in the main the advance was due to continued buying for country account, apparently confirming reports of a short crop. Receipts were 74 cars. September sold between 31,c and 33VsC. and closed l40l?c higher at 33333UC Reports of, beneficial rains in the wheat zone remained an influence in tho wheat market throughout the session, the greatest potency being at the opening, when September sold from H'dTsC lower at 67'! 67?c. Buying, largely tor the Southwest, caused a rally to bVc early, but in sympathy with weakness in the markets of the Northwest a further decline to 67Uc followed. Later, damage claims from the spring wheat territory, the strength of the coarse grains and heavy exports resulted in a rally to fö'ic and the close was firm and '.fcc lower at &$c. The market was not a large one. and feeling was nervous under conflicting weather reports. Exporters reported U) loads taken. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour wer.e equal to 167.C0U bu. Primary receipts were k4o,000 bu. compared with Gtil.OuO bu a year ago. Local receipts were 231 cars, liXi of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 213 cars, against GDI cars last week and 2Ct cars the corresponding day last year. Provisions were dull, fluctuating narrowly, but holding steady in sympathy with corn and on higher prices at the yards. September pork closed 7i2c higher at JM.r.T-j: lard, with a like advance, at SS.6G, and ribs unchanged at $7.0J. Estimated receipts to-morrow: Wheat, 205 cars; corn.

NERVOUS TONE PREVAILS

STOCK 3XARKHT SK.NTIMCXT IS VERY 3IICII V SETTLED. Henvr Volnme of Liquidation Until Late In the Day Only a Few Stock Close at Top Prlces NEU' YORK. July IS. Speculative judgment on to-day's stock market was unsettled and inconclusive, under the influence of . the erratic gyrations of Union Taclflc, St. Paul and. to a. lesser extent, other railroads immediately affected by the Northern Pacific settlement announced late yesterday. The Influence of the announcement was dominant at the opening, as ras shown by the congested buying of the stocks of the railroads affected and of the steel stocks. The simultaneous purchases of Union Pacific at the opening were of 10.000 shares at 10314 to 1044, compared with 102s; last night, and of St. Paul 8.0 shares at lS5Va to 165, compared with 163?; last night. United States Steel was dealt in to the extent of 8.000 shares, varying In price from 40i to 411. compared with 40s, last night. The price of thi3 stock at the opening was' the highest of the day and it was under steady pressure through the mutations of the market, getlng down nearly a point under last night and closing at a fractional net loss. The whole market felt the effect of enormous realizing sales, and the successive declines suggested the conjecture that inside interests which bought stocks yesterday were selling out to take profits. The belief prevailed in the board that the largo capitalists who supported the market on Monday and Tuesday by buying practically all offerings of the leading stocks were lightening their load. The rather palpable manipulation of the market and the circulation of vague intimations that further disclosures were coming of additional arrangements under the Northern Pacific settlement added to this impression. Rather frank admissions were forthcoming that the announcement of the Northern Pacific setttlement was timed with a view to quieting apprehensions and checking the uneasiness in the stock market, against the earlier decision cf those interested to withhold the announcement until a later period. These conditions served to take the edge off the fact of the announcement of the Northern Pacific settlement. There was a period after midday when the general level of prices had receded well below last night, even Union Pacific and St. Paul showing losses. The weakness in Atchison, Rock Isiand, the coalers and some of the Southern lines were quite pronounced. Late in the day Union Paciflc began its final upward movement. The demand for the stock was apparently insatiable, blocks of 1,000 to 4,000 shares succeeding each other in quick succession. Every effort was apparent to bid up the price of the stock. It touched 109 before the close; St. Paul was lifted to lSS'i and Southern Pacific to o.. The market rallied in sympathy, but did not generally get back to the best. Chicago & Northwestern rose 6 and General Electric The closing was feverish and irregular, below the best. The railroad bond market was active and slightly irregular. Total sales, at par value, were J2.U70.ooO. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. Following are the day's share sales and the closing best prices: Closing Stocks. Salef.

The receipts of cattle so far this week are nearly 500 over the same time last year, and 1.G00 over the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts to-day were about 100 smaller than a week ago, but over 400 larger than a year ago. There was a great scarcity of choice stock In the arrivals, and none in their class were good enough to command the full strength of the market. All conditions were favorable to salesmen, and from the start the trading was active at more satisfactory prices. Most of the fat stock of all kinds was considered at least 10c higher, and In a few Instances the advance was probably 0c. Steers averaging around 1,1001,203 pounds sold at $5Q5.10. Several loads of Western cattle averaging less than 000 to around 1.000 pounds sold at 53.7504.10. which were considered strong prices, and there was a better tendency in the market for stockers and feeders, with sales at IZ.Ui'a 1.25. Stock ers to good heifers sold at J3.10y4.5O. Cows generally were considered 10c higher and the supply of good kinds was not equal to the demand. Fat cows sold at $3.251.15.

Combined receipts of hogs for four days show a decrease of over 3.000 compared with the same time last week, and the receipts to-day show a decrease of over 2,000, compared with a week ago. The arrivals included a few loads of good medium to heavy hogs, but the supply was largely light to mixed medium grades. With all buyers In the field and a reasonably good demand the market opened with salesmen asking hicher prices, and although buyers were a little reluctant in paying any advance at the start the offerings were soon .changing hands readily and sales for the day indicated that prices were about 5c higher than the low time yesterday. A good clearance was made and the market closed firm at the advance. Sales ranged from J5.77Vi'?i6. and the larger proportion of the supply sold above $5.82.

The marketing of sheep and lambs continues comparatively liberal, the total thus far this week showing an increase of nearly 2.300 over the same time last week and almost 4.000 over the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts to-day were comparatively liberal, showing an increase of 1.200 over last Thursday. Most of the arrivals were fat enough for butchers and shippers, but there wore several decks of ordinary stock. There was just a fair demand from local butchers, and, in harmony with other places, shippers were bidding lower prices, especially for loans. It did not take long to establish a trading basis, however, and final sales indicated lambs were 10-;j25c lower, while the best sheep and yearlings were about f-teady. The best lambs sold at $5, and quite a number were reported at J4. 75174.). Culls to decent lambs brought S3.25TM.65.

Larger and Better Heeelpts of Fruit and Vegetable Receipt of Crniu Are Increasing vrith Ilapldlty. Recent rains have improved trade and have given a brighter outlook to the situation generally. On Commission row yesterday there was a perceptible increase In the receipts of fruits and vegetables, and rrlces in all lines ruled steady, with buying active. Totatoes are becoming more abundant and easier prices are indicated, while the quality coming into this market is most satisfactory. Cucumbers are scarce and quotations are higher, but this is but temporary. Cabbage is scarce and very firm at prices quoted. Receipts of berries were somewhat more liberal, but prices tending higher. Peaches are more active and some very good quality of fruit is now arriving. Receipts of lemons are more liberal, but so great is the demand that stocks are kept down to the point that there is no accumulation, and prices rule strong. Oranges are growing scarcer. California seedlings and late Valencias are the oranges now being sold, and there will be no great abundance until Jamaicas begin to come in the fall. Tho poultry markft is rather quiet. The late spring retarded the growth of chickens and kept trade back longer than usual, but of late the size has been such as to create a better demand. No changes weie made in butter, eggs or cheese. The market is firm and choice fresh stock is in good requesL There is an increasing demand for provisions, and higher prices are expected to prevail owing to the decrease In receipts of hogs. Wholesale grocers are watching with interest the three-cornered fight of the American Refining Company, Arbuckle He. Co. and the Woolson Ppice Company, the latter firm being controlled by the American sugar people. Every day is expected to bring further developments In the warfare. Flour is moving along much In the rut of several months past. j Trade with the dry goods houses is quiet. 1 JJrugglsta report business a little slow. The oil market is steadier. Other markets are without new features. The local grain market improves in activity, the receipts of new wheat for local mills ranging from thirty-five to fifty cars dally, and the last two or three days there has been an increase in receipts of corn. Yesterday receipts were: Wheat, 43 cars; corn. 2G cars. On the wagon market corn sold readily at 50 cents a bushel, the highest price in July for years. Old hay Is a trifle firmer. New hay begins to come in quite freely, but the demand at present prices absorbs the arrivals from day to day.
