' [SUITES ON CROP PLACE YIELD SHORT 28,000,900 BUSHELS While Prices Were Not Materi ally Changed From Satur day's Closing, Demoraliza tion Was Not so Much in Evi dence—Conservatism Exists. Greater conservatism characterized the market of yesterday and the general ten dip.cy -was toward reaction from the ex citement of the day before. All esti mates on the crop of this year place the yield from 28.000,000 to 31,000.000 bushels .short of that of last year, and this in formation from different reliable sources had its effect, although action was steady. What the Brokers Say. O'Connor & Van Bergen's market letter says:" >} ■■ - -■■■■■>- Ir" ■ =;: ••.'-■"■■ It would seem as if the Wall street community at the opening, today had re covered in a: measure its sober second thought, 'inasmuch as, while prices were not .materially changed, from , the closing of Saturday, there was. an absence of the demoralization then so evident.. The mar ket opened with less excitement < than could-have been anticipated,: and it was apparent that supporting . orders were in force, not so much with the idea of any advancement of prices as with the idea of checking the acute declines of last week. When the traders saw that the greater part of this class of buying or ders had been filled, they again attempt ed to raid the market, but in turn this was halted by a violent rise in Canadian Pa cific, after which extreme dullness and absence of pressure prevailed. At the time of writing prices have rallied sharp ly. It is a fact worthy of mention that the demand for stocks in the loan crowd is now growing greater than has been seen here for a very long period, and where any good buying appears prices are easily advanced. Rates for call money are 2@2% per cent, and we have no ma terial change in time rates. Never be fore have we seen the street so bare of authentic information of value from quarters where it should be most expect ed. • The best opinions are contradictory as to the causes of this long continued liquidation, but all agree that there is a large amount of ill-advised selling of se curities, and that until this exhausts itself there is little hope for the possibility of maintained improvement. The rally which we see in progress this afternoon may run somewhat further, but the market is certainly entitled to such an- advance, and we think any sustained movement would bring in ■ a great many purchasers who are now hesitating. Strong, Sturgis & Co. M. Doran & Co.'s Chicago correspondent says: _t .;?:;:.. x Wheat opened higher in sympathy •with strength in the Northwest markets. The advance brought out a great deal of realizing, traders taking profits pending is suing of the government report this after noon. The estimate of the Commercial West of 147,000.000 for the three North western states produced only a temporary bulge. It evidently had been pretty well discounted on and on the other hand a great -, many good people were skeptical about accepting this low estimate. The report makes a total wheat crop of 645, --000,000. The market was largely an even ing up affair, and closed weak. The Sep tember acts as if there was a concentrated long line in it and we advise those wishing to sell short to operate in deferred futures. Estimate of cars for tomorrow. 220. Corn—Was higher early, but the pit was soon called upon to digest large quantities of long corn. The selling was i>ersistent to the close and the effect on prices much less than might have been expected. Some consider growing crop going backward rather than gaining; country acceptance light; unsettled weather indicated' with cool temperature through larger part of belt. Estimate of cars for tomorrow, 250. Oats—The market today has been largely a sympathetic one, strength in wheat on cables and in cash oats market being the influence. Opening was at some advance with general commission trade on buying side, but heavy local realizing forced a decline in all options. An irregular market •with light outside trade followed, close showing fractional decline from Saturday's close. Estimate of cars tomorrow, 345. Midway Horse Market. Minnesota Transfer, St. Paul, Minn.— Barrett & Zimmerman report a light trade on all classes of horses. The incoming stock was also light, which in all gave the market an inactive appearance.

PROTECT STOCKS AGAIN BANKING INTERESTS, ETC, STEP IN TO PREVENT DEMORALIZATION But the Sentiment Continues Unsettled and Feverish Througnout the Session — Urgem Demand for Canadian Pacific — Market Strcna in the Last Hour. NEW YORK, Aug. 10. —Measures were adopted in Wall street today similar to those of last Thursday, when the demor alized break in stocks was checked by the opportune protective measures of large interests and market managers for various stocks. There was a similar hurying back to tho financial district t>y prominent men in the financial world to repair the damage by Saturday's break in prices. The downward plunge of prices were checked for the time, but there was no such sustained tendency to recover as was the case last Thursday. and the sentiment regurcUng the market continued feverish and unsettled through out the day. The early dealings save clear indica tions of the large part played by pro fessional opeiations on the short side in causing Saturday's slump in the mar ket. When it became clear this morn ing that effective measures had been taken to hold prices at the start there was something of a scramble among the shorts to cover their outstanding com mitments, which caused a strong re bound in prices. Shorts Are Shown Mercy. The demand was notably urgent for Canadian Pacific, and that stock, loaned at a premium for use over night, which offered inducements to refrain from forc ing the shorts to cover completely. The stock, after being rushed up 6 points, consequently eased off. The demand from shorts was very conspicuous also in Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Metropolitan Street Railway, which, it will be remembered, were very fiercely raided by the bears on Saturday. The fear that the Saturday slump had un covered weak spots again, which would force suspensions, was allayed by the announcement at the end of the first hour of trading that all stock sheets had passed through the clearing house. The discipline administered to the bears by the upward flurry in prices had the effect of somewhat subduing their ardor for attack. The market was not free from points of weakness, however, and liquidation was renewed from time to time in different parts of the list. Thi3 was notably the case in Missouri Pacific, and its weakness and that of Atchison had a sympathetic effect in dragging the whole list backwards to below last nights level. The liquidation had apparently spent its force towards the latter part of the day and confidence was renewed also by the absence of failures. The market turned strong in the last hour and the early top level was generally ex ceeded and the active stocks rose 1 to 2 points over Saturday's dosing level. Union- Pacific was conspicuously strong and ad vanced 2% over .Saturday to 50. .:,• •-; News Cuts No Figure...,, ,; r . The closing was quiet - and steady, with the advances well maintained.

September corn and oats were a shade lower, but < provisions closed 1 firm, the September products- being from 5c to 10c higher. - \^-. .-v>.--. •: • ■; *g*\ -r.■ ■■ Wheat opened with a good show of strength, influenced by small movement and. unfavorable weather. September being %@%c higher, at 80%@S0%c. The early market was active "with considerable profit taking in the December and May deliver ies, which caused an easier feeling dur ing the first hour, but the news in general favored the bulls, a private es timate on the new crop being more pes simistic than the most enthusiastic ■ bull • had anticipated, and under this influence the . market again became strong | toward the noon hour. During the last hour there was quite heavy liquidation due to re ports that: the private estimate on the crop prospects was.altogether too low and despite the efforts of the bulls, th.c mar ket, receded, September selling, off to 79%@79%c. and. closing at 79%@S0c, . a loss of '3) %c. . Clearances of ■ wheat and flour were equal to 498.700 bu; on passage decreased 1.016,000 bu. Primary receipts were 728, --300 bu, against 1.170,200 bu a . year ago.

Early Strength tn Corn. Corn ruled strong early in the day in sympathy with the strength in wheat, and on higher cables and cold weather in tho corn belt. Offerings were light at the start, but as the session advanced the distant months were offered quite freely and the market eased off. A num ber of traders sold out long lines on the theory that the government report had been fully discounted, while commission houses supported the market. After sell ing between 52%f£5'%c. September clos ed a shade lower at 52%@52%c. Local receipts were 159 cars, with 23 of contract grade. Oats were firm early, but free selling by some of those houses which were sell ing corn turned the market easy. There was a moderate amount of trade with commission houses giving fair support to the market. The close was a shade lower at .1414 c for September, after selling be tween 34%@34%c. Local receipts were 283 cars. Although trading 1 in provisions was quiet, prices ruled firm, due to a better tone lin the hog situation. Locals were the best buyers.

The three states, he says, have raised 147,000,000 bushels of wheat. The report which was awaited. with the greatest interest was bullish beyond all expectation. Every one in . the pit was looking . for a break in wheat. It was expected the report would run heavier than the guesses of the past week bad made- it- Many who were long wheat from far down the line sold out Saturday, and the other long wheat went overboard yesterday. The market, it was figured, I was | high. - enough, and in view of the long continued advance it was ex pected the Jones report would mark the culmination of the bull market, and there were those who looked for the market to fall off 5 cents or more. But when the crowd heard the figures they began to ask themselves whether wheat was high after all. September, bobbed around and was- 83c one moment and down to 81 %c in a twinkling, and then up to 82% c. It was a . very - erratic market, but no one .was inclined to sell very much short.

He Is Edward Beaupre, a French Cana dian. Over Eight Feet High. "Tough luck!" lamented the biggest man in the world yesterday. "Here i am in the biggest city in the Western hemis phere, and yet I can't go out on the street to have a look at New York without at- I trading so much attention that it deprives me or' all pleasure." ' Submissively he folded his hands, each of which measures a foot from wrist to linger tip, crossed his knees, and swung pendulum fashion a foot on which was a No. '11 russet shoe. It was stifling in his apartment at the Vanderbilt hotel, on Kadt orty-second street, and by the time he had slid his. handkerchief around nis No. 21 collar he had to start all over again to COOI off. '--■,■■":■ His name is Edward Beaupre. He is twenty-two years old. his height is eight feet two and one-half inches, and lie weighs 367 pounds. His title of "biggest man in the world"- is undisputed. And he's still growing. Within the last two years he. has shot up three and a quarter inches. Beaupre 'was born of French-Canadian parents in the settlement of Willow Bunch, Northwest Territory, about twenty miles from the Montana , boundary. ilia father is a well-to-do ranchman, and Ed ward.has, come East to see the sights. Ha says 'he has found traveling disagreeable, because only a little more than half of him can rest comfortably in the Pullman sleepers. He likes the West better than the East, because distances are on a big ger scale' out there, and an eight-foot something man out on the plains doesn't show up so big until one gets close to him. , Beaupre weighed nine pounds when ha was born. He was just liite other babies until at the age of three he began to grow with remarkable speed. His parents are of normal size. He was six feet four when nine years old. Now it takes thir teen yards of cloth to 'make him a suit of clothes. He has two brothers and four sisters, none of whom is remarkable for size, except one of the . boys, aged nine, who is five feet eight, and growing at a rate at which he will soon catch up to his big brother. Beaupre wears a No. 10 hat. lie I;o* lived all his life on a ranch and Is in per fect health, mentally and physically. Six years ago, before he got too big to rlda horseback, he came on a cropper while hunting and fractured his jaw. The bou» enlarged and could not be reduced. Kx cept.for. this misfortune he is fair of. fea ture and symmetrically - built. His ap petite calls for no more than the average sized man; eats. He has been .. unable to get a comfortable fit in beds since arriving ,in New Yorfc. and had to temporize with ■ two chairs • stationed at the footboard ou which to rest about two feet of — New York .World.-/■ ;,,,_: "•"..-:■;-,/■ '":.;• , '"■; •
