There were various ona for the strength the market dis played. The Russian wheat crop was report td to be suffering from excessive rain, and the Russian shippers in consequence to be buying American wheat on speculation. -New- York wired, shortly after the opening, that foreigners were good buyers, and wheat was .. Heavy rain in the Northwest WOs ! .ing damage to spring wheat, according to some of the dispatches from there. Liver ! i quoted an advance of per cental to begin with, and local commission houses had cable orders for September wheat at the United Kingdom and continent. St. Louis supplemented the buying of the day before by fresh liberal purchases. Chicago receipts were j car loads. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 2X> care, against 403 on the cor responding day of the year before. Atlantic port clearances of. wheat and flour were equal to 330,000 bu. There was some dispo sition to realize at the opening, and for a time more wheat was put on the market than it could readily abscrb. As soon as the market received outside support, notably from St. Louis, the situation changed at once. The market in the last half of the session became dull, and, with the falling olt in busi ness, there was a tendency in the price to work lower. The foreign orders for Hour weie liberal, but a break of the drouth in the corn belt was predicted arid caused an easier feeling in that article that affected wheat speculation unfavorably. September got down to 86% c, and held obstinately close to those figures until about ten minutes be fore the cii se, when a general selling caused a furtner decline to 66%@66%c, which was the trading rate at the close. In corn there was a continuation of the activity of the past few days, but an evident desire among the heavier longs to realize on their holdings. Reports from the corn belt were mixed, as usual. The heaviest blow to the bullish feeling '-aine from Mie wea'her bureau, which predicted a breaking of the drouth West within the next thirty-six hours. Local receipts were 35:; cars. Stptember opened very irregularly at from 2tie to 2SUW and worked up and down between 27% c and 28c, being weaker near the end of the session. It closed at 27% C, about %c under yesterday's final figures. The market for oats was flrm and active throughout, the strength being due principally to sympathy With wheat. Shorts bought liberally. Local receipts amounted to 178 cars. September opened a shade higher at l.S'4<S 18% c, soid up to IBV2C, back to 18'/hC, and closed at ISvic bid. Provisions were dull ana neglected and the tendency was downward after a linn opening at some improvement, due to a smaller run of hogs than was expected. Packers were moderate sellers, but enough was offered to create a weak feeling. At the close September pork was 5c lower at $7.72*/ i; September lard unchanged at $4.12 l £, and September ribs unchanged at $4.45.

MINNEAPOLIS, July B.— The wheat market opened steady this morning on favorable cab'.es, but the trade appeared to doubt the evidence of their own eyesight, and they conjured with their doubts standing by with eyes though seeing not. Prices steadily ad vanced with scarcely a trade being made till a full cent advance was scored. Pit traders had "lost opportunity" written on their coun tenances. The news of the day was volumi nous, and nearly all bullish in tone. In Il linois and Missouri harvesting operations have ceased because extreme heat and that the wheat Is curling and drying up. Another report said that the spring wheat had been completely destroyed throughout large areas of Illinois by chinch bugs. Oklahoma also came down from its high horse by saying that both the acreage and the yield Is mod erate, with the wheat of good quality.

New York wired as follows: "The same conditions of the market that has ruled during the week prevailed yesterday; the day's business was marked, however, by sales for the foreign accounts, for delivery in August and September, larger than at any time since 1891. In the past three days it is reported that over 1,000.000 bu of wheat has been purchased for future shipment to foreign ports. These sales have been mostly of the new winter wheats of Kansas and the softer varieties from the Southwest. The reason for these heavy sales Is that the world's visible supply of wheat was never so low as at present. It is estimated that the total visible for the whole world is not ove 75,0110,(00 bu.

Finer Than Any Otli**r Ottered in tile London Market. WASHINGTON, July B.— Finding it difficult to get an unprejudiced and definite comparison made in London between butter sent there by the Unit ed States department of agriculture, and the bost products of other coun tries, Secretary Wilson directed his agent at London to buy there repre^ sentative packages of fine butter from various sources and send them in cold storage to New York. This was re cently done, and the foreign lot in cluded sample ensks of the best Eng lish (Dorsetshire), Danish and French l-utter, and boxes from Australian and Irish creameries, as well as rolls of "sweet" or unsalted butter, such as is sent daily from Brittany and sells at the highest price in the London market. These foreign butters have been critically examined by the leading but ter merchants of New York, and com pared with packages reserved from a lot lately sent abroad by the depart ment, made at creameries in Minnesota and Massachusetts. Excepting the Australian, these butters were all about the same age. The Danish, which ranks first in the salted butter supply of the English markets, was a little newer and fresher than the Min nesota package. The samples were scored by Butter Inspector Healy, of the New York merchandise exchange, and Secretary Wilson has received his report. On a .scale of 100 pounds, the Minnesota creamery butter was mark ed 96'/ 2 . the "royal Danish" 95 and the Massachusetts butter 94. The last was a very small package, had been kept three weeks, and had lost flavor, ni though evidently a very fine article when fresh. The fresh Britanny rolls were also placed at' 96V&, the other samples were marked 90, and below. The only ones marked s 'perfect in grain, texture or "body" were those from Minnesota, Denmark and Britanny. Minnesota and t Britanny (unsalted) were both placed at BftV<>, out of a pos sible 40 for flavor, with Massachusetts and Denmark folTowfnjg at 35 and none other above 31. li . ; There Wan Hn' Open Inu..

NEW YORK, July B.— Profit-taking was the order of the day in the stock market. The sending of the tariff bill to conference ended the senate stage of the bill, the ter mination of which has formed subject for speculation in the recent market. The ter mination is regarded as a favorablo influence on values; but, having been previously dis counted, realizing sales were to be looked for in the natural order of things.- The re action did not develop immediately at the opening, owing to several sustaining influ ences. The sugar refining industry's special interest in the tariff bill made that stock sensitive to Washington reports as to the chances of the sugar schedule in the con ference. These reports varied all day, as .a matter of course, but carried Sugar up at the opening. The grangers and international stocks also opened with an upward tendency. The former group enjoyed an impetus also from tho announcement by the refunding committee of the Chicago & Northwestern that the directors of that company had au thorized a mortgage for ?165,000,000, to run ninety years. The realizing was based both on the pass age of the tariff bill and on the continued belief in the culmination on the long turn the market has made on general conditions of business. There was an increase of ac tivity in the dealings over both yesterday and the day before, but quite one-half the dealings was absorbed by St. Paul, Sugar and Burlington. Chicago Great Western, Dcs Moines & Port Dodge, and Minneapolis & St. Louis were quite conspicuous and strong as a group. The first gained 1% net and the second 2 points. Sugar lost 1%"; Burlington, IVs, and Spirits preferred, Rubber preferred and Western Union a point each. The bond market lacked feature, aside from some notable . variations in the Industrial issues, in whk-h special influences operated | The general market displayed a hardening tendency, but the improvements were mainly slight.
