The cahlAs this morning Indicated a want or confidence in the sensational advance In wheat of the past few days. Liverpool was weaker, which was a disappointment to those who expect an unteasing advance. The market opened 1c lower than the previous close, rallied Vfcc and declined as much, then advanced %c and wavered between 84and 85"*c tor September for some time, loiter the offerings exceeded the buying, and a decline followed. Bradstreet made an increase of mOOO bushels in the world s stock. This was quite encouraging to Lears, and seemed to .offset the exports of 877,000 bushels, which of itself was very bullish. There was not much news from the Northwest. Weather was more favorable. The cash business has been hindered by the big advance of the past At Chicago and other Western markets the cash business has been light. New York claimed the sale of thirty boat-loads. St. Louis, which has been leading the market, became quite weak, and made 3 cents break. When It Is remembered that it is only one week since September wheat was selling at 75%c it is but natural to expect that on Ifcc advance there would be realising with some reaction. As usual the eleventh hour bull (bearish at the bottom), on 22 cents advance, began to shake off his apathy, and quitting the thistle and spice brush, came into the market for a little wheat Buying for an advance which has been satisfactory to the holder. Who sensibly started on the ground floor, he now thinks the wheat he predicted would go to GO cents will soon sell at $L "'Twas ever thus," and so history goes on repeating Itself. The opening was at 84%®84%c for September, sold from 84%c, to 86c, to 84%c, to Sfr^c. dropped to 88ttc, and closed at 83^ife 83%c. While the situation remains strong, reactions are natural, and the market must make an occasional pause to catch up with Itself. The feeling In com was not so strong, there being a disposition to realise on the late moderate advance. The decline was Me from the close, with a very steady feeling during the last hour. Oats held steady, with little change. Provisions were firmer, pork making 26c to 30c advance from the early low price. On the bulge there was some reaction, part of the upturn being lost. Riba and lard were not so strong as pork, making relatively only about half the Improvement. Oatlook for Coro. Chicago Titnes-Herald, August IS. The present corn situation a distinctly less satisfactory than was the case either on August l or July L When measured by figures of conditional average, the crop situation has changed little in th'e past six weeks, but when measured by crop probabilities, there has been a decided shrinkage. In other words, a low conditional average a few weeks before harvest means much more than the same reported condition at a date six* weeks earlier, when there Is a possibility of futur-a repairingnt of damage. Cool nights and lack of much-needed rainfall over an important territory running from central Indiana to ecstern Nebraska have combined to hold the crop at u standstill, and this at a time when every day's growth Is precious. The crop has been late all the season, and. with some local exceptions, as in Ohio. Illinois and northern Kansas, normal development for this season of the year has not been reached. The past week has not served to advance the crop as a whole. It merely having held Its own. and further continuation of recent weather condition? #111 sharply whittle down the possibilities of crop yield. During the past three week? the rainfall over the greater part of the com belt has been very scanty, and the area over which the noed of more moisture is urgent is rapidly widening. With the exception of a few localities favored by heavy thunder-storms, the rainfall since the third week In July In northern and western Missouri, southern lows, eastern Nebraska and central and southern Indiana has averaged less than onethird the normal supply. This condition has attracted less than Us merited attention. because, with the exception of a few days early in the pericn;. there has been no hot weather to accentuate the damage. The rather cool weather, then, of the period, while falling to enable the crop to make up previous deficiencies in growth, has protected It against the dangers Incident to this shortage in rainfall, In some of the districts where the greatest shortage exists, hewever. the limit of tndutance is oetng reached, and even with the present moderate temperatures by day, followed by cool, dewy nights, reports of curling leaves and even firing, are frequent fn.in parts of Iowa and Missouri, and especially from central Indiana. This lack of moisture at this stage of the crop may not result In any special drought alarm, but Its effect* will be seen when hu.tklng of tho crop begins.

The

Brokers* Gossip.

By L. W. Louis’s Wire.

New York. August 17.-Wortley says; tape reports of London quotations were not very reliable, the London market being, as a matter of fact, up to our closing prices of last night. This became known Just before the opening, consequently early prices showed little or no decline from last night's quotations. After the first five minute*, however. a commission-house of speculative tendencies, backed by the usual bearish professional clique, attacked stocks and brought about a reaction ranging from M to %. These attacks were concentrated on B. Q. and Atchison preferred. They professed to have advices from tho West reporting a serious deterioration in the condition of the crops during the past two weeks. Advices have undoubtedly been received stating that In some sections damage has been done to the wheat crops, and the outlook Is not as bright a* it was ten days ago. nevenhelees no special damage has been don*, and there is every reason for believing that before wheat and com crops will be considerably above the average and will be marketed at satisfactory price*. There was. however, better buying In Northern Pacific preferred than for the past day or two. London one rations were not much of a factor, thef bought a little St. Paul, and both bought and sold —red. There was some Ut-

gprlnir Wheat Harvest. Chicago Times-Hetald. August l«. Spring wheat harvest Is well under way up to the central part of the belt and is beginning in the earliest field* of the Red river valley. It Is not yet clear what the actual situation is, but It is evident that the rate of yield will not fully bear out the earlier estimate*. Returns, after cutting, from southern Minnesota indicate the damage from rust was less marked than was feared three weeks since, and to that extent the prospect in Minresota has Improved. In the northern part of this State, where the great acreage lies, while rather late and therefore ;n some frost danger, the crop still maintains a high average of condition. Harvest results in South Dakota vary widely, but the average is low. The rate~ of yield for the State apparently is little If any better than Jhat of last year, so that the increase In the aggregate production of the State depends entirely on the increased acreage last spring, an increase estimated by good authorities at about 10 per cent., the rate of Increase being lighter than in the surrounding States. Harvest has begun In the earlier fields of North Dakota, but on the greater part of acreage the crop Is late, and on this late area and In the northern part of the State harvest can not begin for a week or ten days yet. This necessary delay in harvest, coupled with some appearance of rust and smut, renders the crop result somewhat problematical. There is a considerable acreage In the Red river valley which can hardly escape frost unless It comes unusually late.

Modem Miller.

The week of excitement in the wheat market, with the phenomenal increase in price of this cereal, has exorcsied a corresponding effect on the flour market, though there is a marked disparity in the advance of the markets In the South, indicating a quicker appreciation of the rise, and shows a gain of 50©60c a barrel over last week's quotations. Buyers are holding off, however, owing to belief in lower prices soon, or a lack of ready cash, or bo‘th. Pacific coast reports not much change In price and light exports, while the Eastern buyers seem to be nervously watching the market, withthe light purchases. The condition of the wheat market Is so excited and skyward predictions are useless; $1 wheat, however, is confidently looked for, as with the exception of Kansas, the movement of wheat is slow And foreign demand continues strong.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. The Wheat Market Opens Weaker— The Quotations. Chicago. August 17.—A much easier tone prevailed at the opening of the wheat market to-day, September starting at 84%©84%c. h decline of about 1c from yesterday's closing, and almost Immediately selling at 84%c. The paramount reason for the decline was the weakness of Liverpool cables, which showed but %©%d advance at the opening, and later advices showed nearly all of even this meager advance lost. The weather map was also more favorable. New York, however, acted strong enough to cause some reaction here, September slowly rallying to 85%c, with frequent rtuctuatlons. Trading was on a rather small scale, although considerable nervousness^ was displayed. Northwestern receipts were 320 cars against 469 last week and 488 a year ago. Local receipts were 432 cars, 398 of this number being new wheat. Com was very weak and there was active liquidation of long lines. Favorable weather, lower Liverpool cables and the weakness of wheat were the factors. September opened %&%c lower at 28%c, and sold off to Z8c. with very little demand. Receipts were 1,019 cars, overrunning the estimate considerably. Not much was doing in oats. The market showed sympathetic weakness with corn, but rallied under fair support. Receipts Were less than expected—706 cars. September opened unchanged at 17%c, sold at 17%c and back to the opening

price.

Provisions were fairly active. There was some short selling by traders playing for a reaction, but prices were firmly maintained. September pork opened 2%c lower at $8.06, sold at $8.00, and reacted to $8.06. September lard opened .02%c lower at 4.46c and advanced to

4.47%c. ~

I went Immediately to Providence and saw Dr. Andrews, and he has definitely accepted the presidency of the Cosmopolitan University.

Samuel Thomas, the prominent railroad man, and George F. Seward, president of the Fidelity and Casualty Company, New York. "I should think the foregoing names ought to dispose effectually of the Inference uo freely drawn and expressed that the Cosmopolitan University was to be a free-silver movement. Politics does not enter into it at aHr“The method of the university, so far as now norked out. will be as follows: A student will forward to the univerclty his name and address and the purpose for which education to sought, and the studies which he desires to pursue. F>ach statement will go to Dr. Andrews who will map out the course of study which he deems the best possible for the appll-

tion therefor to the most eminent authority on the particular study with whom ne Is acquainted. This expert will revise the course and the accompanying instructions and will return the document to President Andrews."
