UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. t3. Cattle Receipts, 1.250; shipments, 5o0. The receipts of cattle thud far this week have teen Comparatlyely liberal, the total indicating an Increase of 1,200 over the same time last week and nearly WO over the corresponding time a year a so. The receipts to-day were almost 200 larger than a week ago and fully &00 emaller than a year ago. As usual for several days pat. the arrivals consisted principally of cattle on the feeder order, or a kind that were Just a little below the requirements in flesh and weight. The proportion of cattle that were desirable for killers waa small, and females of that descrip tion sold usually on a basis of steady prices. !Thre vai very little inquiry fur fat steers, and ait noon very few transactions in that line had tx-en reported. There waj some inquiry for Mockers and feeding cattle, but the demand was not nearly equal to the supply, and salesmen could not have made a clearance even at lower yrices. The tet feeders brought about steady prices, but there wa.s no fixed value for the tinder grades, and prices were very irregular, but generally i-jücM rui lower. To salesmen and owners the i.iiiiktt was very unsatisfactory, and ccnJlti'.'ns liv.ua;.1 rather lower prices for the near future, 'ju vat:.'.is: Good to choice '..:. l,3) lbs and tiiiaius $7.25'? 8.0) 6.5o;; 7.2.

There was a con siderable revival of confidence Indicated in to-day's stock market, and In the final dealings the market broadened out Into animation and strength. This was In face of a rise In the call-loan rate to 5 l( r cent, and a forecast of the bank state ment indicating a cut in the reserves of nearly Jo.CXt,O0. The immediate prospect In the money market seemed to be overlooked on account of the reports of the compre hensive plan said to be favored by the sec retary of the treasury for the expansion of the note circulation of the banks, by which It Is hoped to relieve the demand on the lawful money reserve for use in the circulation Incident to the crop-moving period. It will be remembered that the offer of Secretary Gape to redeem bonds made In April of last year had resulted up to the 1st of January of the present year, in the redemption of government bonds to the par value of $3S,222.1S0, and in the payment to the money market, includ- ng premiums, of J71.744.S42. These dis bursements were an important Influence in maintaining the tranquillity of the money market last fall, but the government's standing offer proved so attractive that the banks began to sell bonds and retire their circulation in the spring as rapidly as the law would allow. This was neutralizing the purpose of the bond redemptions, so that Secretary Shaw withdrew the offer early in March. Ilia efforts to stimulate the note expansion are evidently due to a recollection of the conditions thus caused by the redemption of government bonds. Prices of the bonds have declined material ly since the withdrawal of the government redemption order. They have risen again since the note-expansion plan was dis cussed, and to-day the bid prices of the fours of 1925 Jumped lti per cent., indi cating the scant floating supply, and the difficulties of bank-note expansion. The encouraging effect on sentiment or the discussion of this project was supple mented by the belief that the language of the circular issued by the Southern Rail way voting trustees could be accepted as indicating the incubation of the project for a Southern railroad merger. There were the usual rumors also of an early settle ment of the anthracite strike. The buying of Union Pacific was attributed to a de sire on the part of insiders to encourage conversion of bonds Into stocks. There were some points of irregularity in the market. The express stocks reacted sharp ly. American Bicycle securities, including the bonds on which action on the interests Is expected on Monday, were notably weak. The selling was accompanied by reports that it was due to liquidation Induced by the. coming retirement of a leading inter est. Atchison and Canadian Pacific were conspicuous for; activity and strength and there were gains of a point or more by many less active stocks. The bond market was firm, in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, at par value, were J3.lW.OX. ' The average level of prices for stocks have advanced this week. A detailed in spection of the changes shows them to have been very uneven. A powerful and Influ ential speculation combination has made determined efforts to advance prices and to awaken a general speculative interest in the market. Their method was to con centrate their buying and manipulation on one stock or small group of stocks at a time, proceeding from one to another on each successive day. Following the ad Vance, there waB in each case heavy realiz ing, which carried the price back while a new point of strength was developing. These movements had no specific new de velopment to account for them, and the campaign was avowedly based on the gen eral promise of prosperous conditions for the country for the coming year by reason of abundant crops and undiminished busi ness activity. The movement encountered several obstacles during the week, but the market offered good resistance to the vari ous reactions, as good buying demand de veloped in the course of the declines. Much solicitude was expressed at various times over the capacity of the money mar ket to carry the speculative campaign through the period of expansion in the needs of the circulation, the heavy move ment of funds to the interior reinforcing this feeling. The speculative leaders, how ever, professed confidence In the capacity of the money supply, and the call money rate, by its stability, helped to bear them out. It was obvious, however, that the rising prices were taken advantage of at all stages to effect very heavy realizing on the part of previous speculative buyers. An impression was prevalent that the heavy dealings were resulting in the transfer of holdings from stronger to weaker hands. It so happened that two of the untoward developments of the week came in the midst of heavy speculative buying in the stocks immediately affected. The reduction of the dividend on Reading first preferred came while Reading was being bought eagerly in one to six thousand blocks, with the natural result of heavy unloading by disgusted speculators which turned the whole market weak. The active advance in Atchison, also, was checked by the publication of the report of net earnings for July, showing a heavy decrease compared with last year, but the quick relaxation of the heavy sell ing pressure was very notable in these stocks, as in others, buyers apparently standing ready to take unlimited offerings at concessions. The conditions which cause this tendency have light thrown on them by the circular sent to stockholders by the Southern Railway voting trustees, explain ing their action in deferring the declara tion of the dividend on the preferred stock, which would result in the dissolution of the voting trust. In the money market problem interest has centered this week on the question what substitute will be offered this autumn for the relief that has been afforded by Treas ury Department measures for several years. The government refunding law, with the bank note expansion, included large in creases of deposits of government funds in national banks, purchase and retirement of bonds by the government, and these have all been resorted to until it is believed the available supply of government bonds has been swept from the market or reduced to such small proportions that any consider able demand lifts the price to a point where it is unprofitable to use them either as se curity for bank circulation or for govern ment deposits. The large growth in the government receipts from customs Is rrov ing fuflicient to more than offset the reduc tion in internal revenue taxes by the aboli tion of the war taxes. The government's surplus revenues therefore threaten to make troublesome requisitions on the money market again, while the available means of relief are much exhausted. This was the repressive influence on the stock market, and is expected to be so for the immediate future. Convertible and speculative bonds have been active during the week, and have moved in sympathy with their related stocks.

FEAR OF FROST DAMAGE nOMlXAXT INFLl KVCIl IX T11K G II A I X riTS AT CHICAGO. All Cereals Cloe at Good Advance- Lard Clone Dot 11, but Pork and Ulna Shmv SuuKtantlul Guln. CHICAGO, Auk. 29.-Frost scared the grain shorts to-day. and as a result there were fair advances all along the lino. As a matter of fact, there were no frosts in the country, but the Northwest was report ing such cool weather that speculators feared possible damage. Another bull fac tor was the likelihood that September op tions were oversold, especially in oats. At the close of rather dull trading September wheat was stirsc higher, corn up and oats c advanced. Provisions closed 10c down to 27Vic up. Wheat ruled strong after a momentary easiness at the opening. Cables were weak on brilliant weather, and Minneapolis re ported a decline of lc in spot. Grading of new wheat receipts at that point also was said to be splendid. Offerings were very light, however, and the fears of freezing weather brought a sharp upturn. Calgary reported the temperature at 32. The local crowd showed no disposition to sell, save late in the day for profits. Commission houses bought fairly. The market appeared oversold from the effects of the boar move ment during the last few days of fair weather. Corn strength had a stimulating effect. September started h1j1c down to a shade up at 63?c to 70c, and advanced to 7Cc. Late there was an easing off. on profit taking to 70Vbc. The close was firm, sSc up, at 70?ic Trading was not heavy. Lo cal receipts were 261 cars, none of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 356 cars, a total of 617, against 571 last week and 795 a year ago. Primary receipts were 972,00 bu, compared with 1,1.''3,000 last year. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour equaled 527,000 bu. The seaboard reported eight loads taken for export. Corn felt the effects of the imaginary frosts even more than wheat, although the market was irregular. At the start a fairly heavy selling movement developed and September broke from 56c to o0c. Lower cabics, favorable crop reports and improving receipts were the causes. Then came fears that the cold weather would swoop down on the green corn fields. Shorts were frightened. For a time every body wanted to cover and prices Jumped quickly to 57?sc. After that trade hung somewhat idle and fluctuations were nar row. The close was strong, ic up, at 57";ic. Receipts were 43 cars, six of contract grade. Oats shorts were scared badly at the opening. Under the rule of the board it takes white oats of certain weight to fill new style contracts. Chicago has prac tically nothing of that grade. Oats were re ported badly damaged by rains in Illinois and Iowa, and this, together with the cold weather talk, sent the shorts scrambling for cover until September Jumped from 33V.C to 34?ac. Other months also were strong. Toward the close there was a fair realizing selling movement and prices easea on a trine. September closed strong, however, 9c up, at 344c. Receipts were liberal at 354 cars, but the grading was miserable at 16 cars contract. Provisions were manipulated for an up turn, but with only a measure of success to the packers. Hogs and corn started out weak and the former slumped badly. To counteract this influence brokers bought freely and the whole list had good ad vances. Late there was a drive in lard and prices fell off somewhat to an irregular close. September pork closed 10c up at $17.05. lard 10c lower at $10.40 and ribs 27Uc higher at $10.25. Estimated receipts for to-morrow: Wheat, 240 cars; corn, 60 cars; oats, 360 cars; hogs, 15,000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. Open- HlKh- Low- Clos- Wheat ing. est. est. Inr.
