WHEAT IS HIGHER STOCKS ARE LOWER Bradstreet's Report and Euro pean Crop Conditions Prove to Be Bui! Cards Wheat moved up a few notches yester day in spite of heavy receipts and good selling, but reacted sharply on Bradstreets' crop report and the pessimistic views of European exports. Stocks were sharply lower on general professional manipulation and some public liquidation. What the Brokers Say M. Dnran & Co.'s stock letter says-: Wheat — steady advance in wheat after the unsettled market of the first hour. was. to a considerable extent, - in explicable. The news on the whole rather leaned to the bear side, but the local crowd, to whom speculation was pretty well conferred picked out the bull items and played them. The whole action of the market seemed- to be an expression of the prevailing sentiment rather than a re sponse to any change in the situation. The feature counted upon to lower values did quite the reverse. Receipts were large everywhere, the total approximating 1.000.000 bushels. Southwestern arrivals quadrupled the corresponding day last week.- and -nearly doubled last year. Local receipts were 154 cars. 148 of which were new. The demand here proved good and values were up with the options. There was a. brisk demand for soft winter wheat. One interest alone taking ail it could buy and it the same time buying the old July. Southwestern cash markers were firm; Liverpool cables were a disappointment closing lower, but the sentiment expressed was bullish on prospective supply and de mand. London and Paris were up'sharp ly, while Berlin and Budapest closed some lower. Consols continued to work off,"" which was taken as reflecting the un settled political situation. The weekly summary of European crop conditions and Bradstreets' figures were bull cards. The weather map shows showers in the Southwest and Northwest with fair in dicated for tomorrow in spring wheat belt and showers in the Missoui: and Missis sippi valleys. Private advices from the Northwest suggested rust in a number of sections, and the government weekly bulletin notes complaints- of same from lowa and South Dakota and states the general progress to be favorable, although- the crop is poor and weedy in low lands of Northern Min nesota. In regard to winter wheat the same bulletin says harvesting and thresh ing are progressing satisfactorily. In the lower Missouri valley the yield and qual ity of much of the wheat was lowered by previous rains. There are so many fea tures in present situation which 'might develop into active bull factors, we ' sug gest purchases on weak days. Liverpool was % to %c lower at the close. Esti mated receipts tomorrow. 9S cars. —Was strong and some higher on next to no trade. Transactions were all smalt and between local operators. Liv erpool cables were stronger and.reported an increase in demand and same is true here. The feeling is rather more friendly to the long side as season of good demand find moderate- receipts - approaches. If packing house strike extends over a long period it may have a direct effect: upon . this market, entailing as it does addi tional feeding in the country. Roumania reports were of extensive drought damage Government weekly bulletin reports ex cllent growth and general condition prom ising. Estimated receipts, 150 cars. Oats—There was moderate activity in the market. There was selling early on weakness in wheat and covering later on strength. The close was firm at slight sains. There were a few reports in of nisappointing yield from Illinois The government weekly bulletin was favorable Estimated receipts. 64 -cars. Provisions— was a moderate in crease m interest taken in provisions and prices closed higher. The situation in so iar as labor difficulties are concerned is still very uncertain. Receipts of hogs have dropped off to very small propor tions. Arrivals today 2.500 and the mar morrow? 4000hleher- "attamed hogs to saycCf ?toc akf -V & CO3 correspondents Logan & Bryan—Market ' was - rather sharply lower. There i s some scattered liquidation and a good deal of bear .pressure. Rumors of passing of the divi dend on Erie first preferred and uncer tainty as to the dividend on Steel- pre ferred are factors, but there is also the memory of the Venezuelan affair and apprehension a.« to what action may be token at Washington in relation to the sinking of American cargoes by the Russian fleet. American diplomacy in the past has not always been diplomatic We cannot but view further political compli cations ■■ as unnecessary and unlikely, and without them we see very . little reason Tor lower prices.

During - Declines r.; NEW YORK. July 26.—Speculative con fidence ; was j sensibly" shaken. by the action of today's- stock -market,:.which gave the first indications of urgent, liquidation since the I recent rise was J inaugurated; % " Up to this time the action of ; the -market has j been to show a firmv- undertone, :■ even after the evident : culmination. of > the rise | and the . adoption of - a 'waiting ? attitude by the • professional : operators 1 who- had : followed the advance. Today, on- the contrary, the undertone weak. Thus the greater activity, throughout the day was during the period of declines.. On the occasional rallies there was a quick lapse into dullness. .. That is to say. buyers were steadfast -in -: refraining from accepting offers except at material, concessions, and sellers seemed. to be pressed., to. make these concessions in order-; to realize lon their holdings., - This served to . upset the existing faith in the ability or r determination to ■: hold stocks of the . party erf wealthy operators who are assumed-in current opinion to have been- the ■. principal accumulators of stocks on the recent rise.-- The lightening of: loads today had the effect of arousing a suspicion that: the accumulators were finding, difficulty in distributing their hold-■ ings to . advantage. There 1 was some ; dis appointment also at - the small demand for stocks- met at the declines. - Specu lative ■ opinion was • very ■ confident that a large demand awaited a r slight reaction in the market, which. had ' become suspicious. of the long uninterrupted advance • and only awaited . evidence of effective . realiz ing to come into the market again.: So far as the ■ movement was influenced by news, the conditions that were known yesterday seemed to . have most effect, although they were apparently mitigated today. Sterling- Market Quieter t A retrospect of. the common inferences to be drawn from yesterday's; violent rise in. sterling exchange, the jump in London discount rates -and the strength of the wheat market took on a formidable aspect to . the minds of, operators in stocks, al though the . sterling . market was quieter today, wheat opened easier and the Lon don', discount market was more settled. Nevertheless, grave - fears were felt that the Anglo-Russian friction might. issue in some overt act of hostility that would start an international conflagration in Europe.- A •■ widespread-" influence was ex erted both in the wheat. and ; stock mar kets by an alleged estimate by J. J. Hill of only 540.000.000 - bushels for the total wheat.crop. A sudden break in Northern: Securities on the curb produced the weakest ■ period. on the stock - exchange. Whispers of doubt continued- to circulate. of the main tenance 01" the dividend on Erie first pre ferred. More,t attention:, was given to the troubled . outlook in -the labor world. . The good crop promise held out ;by the weekly bulletin ofi,the. weather bureau was ignored. Notwithstanding the con tinued great ease of money an- effect was produced by the t suggested . contingency of an unseasonable.outgo of gold, a with drawal of government deposits from banks and an early development of the ~ interior demand for currency: to move . the. crops. Bear raiding was an element in the break and was . successful in uncovering - stop loss orders, while covering ■ by shorts made the final rally. Suggestions of . a reduction in the dividend on United States Steel preferred circulated, but the direc tors did , not . assemble until i the close of the market. -. \ Bonds were • heavy.

After the :first burst of selling ; enthusiasm had - passed. 1 the i market remained quiet, . with prices I hovering around the opening, figures.

The bullish sentiment I was further intensified by a report credit- i ed ;, to James J. Hill that -the■; total wheat j crop -of the : country -would.be. 100,000,000 | bushels .-less-than last year. A decrease In.: the world's " visible v supply ■ of nearly , two \ million : and sa '. half bushels • was -an additional bull factor. :*-:.

Local receipts were 553 cars, with 46 of contract grade. - Oats, considering, the small .amount of trading,-: the * oats market had a fine tone. j The improvement in prices was mainly on account ;of the strength of wheat, but re turns from threshers in. this. state, show ing a poor yield, had; some. effect.
