SMALL BREAK IN WHEAT GOOD CHOP XKWS A. SCANT KXI'OUTS AltC mil CAISKS. Corn and Oats Continue to Advnnce on Weather 'e-T from t!e AVet 3Ilxed rrovlalon Chnue. CHICAGO, Au-r. 3. Wheat started strong to-day, but weakened later on disappointing exports and closed easy, to "8c under yesterday. Corn closed xic and oats U'VöC higher for September delivery. Provisions closed "V2C lower to 5c higher. September wheat was sold freely at the beginning of the nesion because yesterday's frc.t scare proved to be practically unfounded and because Liverpool cables were easier. September opened TiVic lower at 71c to 71Uc. The tstrerth started a buyIn? movement of fair proportions, and during the first hour the market ascended to 71?c. The fact' that only cisht loads were reported taken for foreign shipment, lighter seaboard clearances and optimistic crop reports from the spring wheat country later combined to create bearishness, and September declined to Uic and closed easy, "3 ie under yesterday, at 70rc Seaboard clearances were S50.000 bu. Primary receipts aggregated bu, compared with S11.000 bu last year. .Minneapolis and Duluth reported LSI cars, against ISO last week and 21 a year ao. Local receipts were ZM cars, 4: of contract grade. Corn was active. The Cincinnati Price Current remarked tho probable necessity of reducing is previous crop estimate of 1.&'0JO,UUO bu by i.tf)0.0(io or Soo.OW.OoO bu. This announcement gave the market a bullish impetus early, which carried September to the best price of the' day without material reactions. Advices from the country, as usual, were not calculated to check the advance. The wheat weakness and tho desire for profits caused selling on the bulge, and a decline endued, bul the close was Jirm. September sold between 57Vic and "Vsc, and closed he higher at !uc. Receipts were H3 ears. Dais were handled on a narrow local market, prie.s fluctuating according to the mood of tho corn pit. September soli between Te and C'ljc and closed steady, lic ?i,e higher, at SoVvL'SVic. Receipts were 2o7 cars. Provisions were quiet bu .steady early on buying by local people who sold yesterday. Luid held I'.rm, but pork and ribs eased o(T while packers and some pit traders were selling. September pork closed 7u.c lower at 513.774. lard So higher at $S.62J2 and ribs unchanged at $7. 77 V2.

In most lines of trade there ha? been n perceptible Improvement the last few days, and the most serious drawback to a larsQ fall buin?8 is tho scarcity of tome articles which come into Reneral consumption and on which prices arc steadily advancing. The warm, dry weather has given an excuse to advance prices on many articles on which It was nst nectary. On Oommiss-ion row the supply of Irih potatoes, apples, bananas, plums and pears seems to be ample to meet the demand, but except on apples, prices of which v.eie reduced yesterday, hltfh figures are the tule. It Is beliv.ved. however, that the potato market will break when shipments from the Northwest set in. from vhi h section supplU- for this market have been drawn cf lut years. Cabbage and onions nre really In light supply, but it is b lievtd that this scarcity will be overcome later in the season. The provision market Is active so far as local consumption and tli.U of the Southern and Eastern States is concerned. The export moven.c U i. disappointing:. The grocery market seems quite active. Tho? who have to n p. cdlctin unusual conditions in the situation as reKarrl prices are dlsappolnte-l. as. with the exception of navy bruus. strong prices are not the featur. 4'offee offers nutliing new as t price or condition. Sui;ars are ftlll moving freely and pries easy in tone, and other staple articles remain, lirm at present figures, fanned goo, Is are in strong position. There is much speculation as to the tomato pack, ar.d the tone :,f tho murket is very strong. Local packers have larpe orders to till and are really troubled to know where they are to secure the tomatoes. Evaporated upp'.cs arc very lirm, with an active demand, and there is an increased activity in prunes, apricots nnd raisins, with more demand reported in primary markets. Tropical fruits are not in as active demand as during the heated term Especially does this remark apply to lemons. Lut few oranges are ff red and tliey rule steady in price. The butter market is very firm, with an active den. and for choice stock, even better prices than quotations, he In; realized. f he -e 1? In much the same condition as butter, belnj: in excellent demand, with prices tlrm. Egns continue llrm and Heady, with .um.; impro cme-nt In quality reported, as the receipts of the heated te rm have b. en tpned of ar.d arrivals are freh. Receipts of spring chickens are Increasing and so is the demand. Tho reduction in prices has given tnore life to the market. The dry got (Is hou--;s report business as ;-ood for early August. Hills sold the last few days and those sold for the. fall ml wirit-r trade In July are now being shipped, and give an active uppearancc to trad" in this line, leather dealers r port trcd as improving. Th" tendency to higher prices, for the thno bin?r at least, has pass.-d over. The druggists are quite busy. No important changes in prices have been made this week. The local grain market Is active. All receipts are readily taken rt the high range of pr'ces quoted, and not in many years have the local conditions been as strong as at the j.reicnt time. The mllkrs are taking- all arrivals of wheat at price quoted and are running about to their full capacity. Heavy receipts of corn havo not scemlcxly lessened thd demand, the eereallno mills and starch woxka being liberal buyers. Tfct vagon rntuKt exns to 1 la

RISING SCALE OF PRICES

BCTTCn OfTSinC DEM .WD HKLrS TI2C SHAHB 9IAIIKRT. Crop Xerr nnd Hftilrond Earning! AIo EffectlTe Money Market Situation Favorably Regarded. NEW YORK, Aug. 8. Developments In the steck market to-day favored operators for the long account, and the demand, which was broader than for some time, carried many properties to a substantially higher level. Indications were not wanting to show that traders were attaching more Importance to the character of the crop news and the high ratio of railroad earnings. These considerations outweighed the earlier repressive Influence on the market by the announcement of the steel strike, and stocks were purchased with an apparent show of confidence. Unusual prominence was given to the trading in the United States Steel stocks owing; to the frequency with which large blocks changed hands at a rising scale. Professional operators were inclined to cover shorts in these issues owing to the resumption of work at some plants and the official announcement of the absorption of tho Shelby tube works. When the prices of the Steel stocks began to mount upwards and reached a level 2Vi and 2 per cent., respectively, above yesterday's close for the common and the preferred the general market kept pace vitn the movement and exceeded those gains in some Instances. There were many interruptions to the general rise during the day by profit taking and short selling by the room operators, but the recessions were next very noteworthy except for the United States Steel stocks, which ehded about a foint below the best when a report circu-atc-d that a prominent operator was unloading' stock purchased at a much lower level. This selling soon affected the other markets, but semi-stagnation coon resulted and the closing dealings showed steadiness. Conspicuous strength was displayed by St. Paul. Union raciric, Missouri Pacific, Sugar and Lackawanna, which were from 1 to 5 points higher and led the gains in their respective groups. The declaration of only the regular dividend on Union Taclflc was without effect, the price, in fact, ruling at 97U, the best price of the day, when the announcement was made. No explanation was made for the rise to 93Vi at the close for Missouri Pacific, but it was rumored that a specu!ative interest was responsible for the movement. Monetary conditions were viewed in a favorable light owing to the steady gain by the banks on subtreasury operations, this morning's statement showlne a gain of over $1,000.000 on the week thus far. Sterling exchange rates continued upward, demand bills being held quite generally above $1.S8. while sixty-day drafts brought $1.8or. Commercial bills continue in scant supply, and as there is a very heavy demand the question of gold exports is being discussed. So far nothing definite in this connection has developed, but some authorities consider that a price of Jl.SSVfe for demand bills would start an outflow of gold to Europe. The bond market was strong to-day, the feature being Mohawk & Malone Incomes, which advanced nearly 6 points. Total sales at par value were $1,500.000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. Following are the day's share sales and the recorded range of quotations: CTo'i'g Stocks. Sales. Highest. Lowest. Eld.

Any business with favor us will re tion, and will be quotations ami letter news from the strike situation, which was salJ to have anivetl before the openinjit. Steel stock Improved until the last hour, when profit-takinn caused a los of part of the advance. Of course, much of tho buying which caused the advance was by keen 1 brokers, and some stock was sold at or near outside quotations by the Fame people: The general market W3s helped by improvement in Steel, and short covering was quite general. As in Steel, all the advance was not held, but the belief that the worst Is over seems to jirevail. and the best-ir.forrr.ed people believe that good stocks should now be bought on all reactions. There is some talk of gold exports, but it does not sc-em to have much effect. The government crop report, due next Saturday, is looked for with much interest, and will, of course, have its effect on prices. Many people believe it will not be so bad as generally expected.

The receipts of cattle thus far this week show an increase oi tJ0 over the same time last week and 2,500 over the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts to-day were again liberal, showing an increase of over 300 compared with a week ago and nearly SCO compared with a year ago. As usual heretofore this week, there were not many strictly choice cattle in the arrivals, but apparently enough to meet the requirements of the demand at this time and saletmen had to make further concessions in price:. Th best cattle were generally considered 25c lower than the same kinds were telilnff a week ago. On the other grades of stock it is very difllcult to report the true condition of the market. It has come to tho iuiut where salesmen find it almost impossible to get buyers at any price and necessarily values are irregular. There is no doubt, however, that salesmen would be glad to accept 50c per 100 lbs. less for their fervders in order to make a clearance. Sales of steers Included 1,310 to 1,430-lb kinds at $5ft5.L3, with loads averaging a little 'less than 1,30-J lbs at $4. 0504.90 as to quality and 1,006 to 1.212-lb cattle brought f 4.1031.50.

The receipts to-elay were 30) larger than a week ago and 750 larger than a year ago. The demand from local sources wa of very little Importance, and on account of rather unfavorable conditions in the East shippers were not very liberal buyers and required further concessions In prices. Sales, especially of lambs, were considered, about 25c lower, making the basis of prices nearly 50 lower than the high time last week. A few sold as high as $4.50. but $4.15 was practically the top. and very decent to good lambs sold at $3.50'ji4. Medium lambs sold at $3.25'(i3.35 and ordinary grades as low as $2.50.
