FINANCE AND TRADE (Special Stock Service to the Lake County Times).

NEW YOEK LETTER. New York, Aug. 13. Bulls had everything their own way this morn ing. Early London cables quoted American securities from one-quarter to three-quarters higher for the active issues. Union Pacific was the pronounced leader. The trade in this security was on a stupendous scale, there being one lot of five thousand shares changing hands at one quotation. Union Pacific reached the remarkable price of 161 7 . Thiiis the highest quotation established in the history of the road. It seems like a dream to old time speculatorsto reflcet the changes that have taken place in this proprety. Fifteen years ago it was hovering around $13 per share and just barely escaping bankruptcy. Today it is selling around $162 and the enthusiasts on the property are predicting it wii! be put upon a seven per cent basis. Southern Pacific sympathized with the strength In Union Pacific and established a new high record for this were active operators in this issue and their purchases were largely responsible for the advance. The trade in Union Pacific and Southern Pacific represented almost one-third of the business transacted on the Exchange today. In the early trading Reading was one of the strong features. Opening at 133 and a fraction, it had a quick rally to 135. Shorts were instrumental in causing this upturn. After the shorts had covered sufficiently, the market eased off again within a point of the opening price. Outside of the above-mentioned stocks, the market was in a rather reactionary mood. St. Paul was exceptionally weak and it looks as if some one was taking advantage of the strength in the general market to liquidate a line of this stock. The cheaper grades of stocks were more active. Wisconsin Central, both common preferred; Texas & Pacific, Eries and St. Louis & Southwestern issues were all traded in extensively. As a rule when operators begin to trade in these stocks it is very near the culmination of the bull movement. The market closed irregular with a few of the specialties higher, Southern Pacific and Union Facific closing at the highest figures of the day. The balance rather weak. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

WHEAT Moderate declines in foreign markets. Favorable weather in the Northwest had a tendency to start our market off a shade lower. The liquidation in the September option continued and the selling in this and other futures gradually dragged the market down until it has reached a now iow level. The Kansas crop report was another bearish factor. That State raised over ninety million bush els of wheat, the second largest yield in the history of the State. The market closed very weak and indications point to still lower levels. CORN Weak, in sympathy with the other grain markets. There was Ja little demand from shorts early in

the September option. News generally favorable to the corn crop. Crops in the Southwest slightly in need of moisture, but no damage reported as yet. The market closed with a net loss of one-half cent for all of the active futures. OATS Ruled lower, but their loss of little consequence compared tc other cereals. A little selling apparent by cash houses, of a hedging character. Cash demand rather brisk. The market closed dull and

featureless. PROVISIONS This market has ranged higher all during the day. Receipts of hogs at the yards 6,000 less than expected. This induced a little speculative buying. m fflO PROVISION MARKET Month Opening Wheat. Se;--t. ruoJj-71 !.ec. 74-7. h May 78 High Au jr. 15 Aug-. 11 7i V4 71b 7.'.h 74 77 4-is 7sb 74 corn.
