'Corn was strong throughout the session,
pven during the periods of weakness in
wheat. The opening' was over a ■wide
upward range. Offerings light -and crowd

lathizing with firmness in corn. There
is some talk of heavy rains delaying

O'Omnor & Van Bergen' correspond
ents say of stocks:.
The market was highly professional in
the character of" the trade and under
aggressive bear pressure the tone sagged
and finally became heavy with scattered
liquidation.-The steel war and crop situa
tirm continue to be the depressing influ
ences. Irrespective of these weaknesses
steady selling of long" stock was an unset
tling inliuence. They acted very heavy for
several days, only, at a lower level. ■ As
confidence wanes in the much discussed
deals liquidation takes place and prices
t>el the heavy sales made in the early
part of the week. The close was 1 lower
and rather heavy.

STOCK PRICES DOWN
j FEAR IS AROUSED BY 'THE CON
TINUED FLIGHT IN WHEAT
i Attempts to Attack Steel Preferred Meet
With a Deterrent —Profit Taking Is Re
sumed —Leading Grain Carriers Lose
About a Point
NTEW YORK. Aug. 20.— Yesterday"?
profit faking was in continued evidence in
I todays stock markt-t. Rt-.sistance was of
; fered to the decline until the fear aroused
i by the renewed flight in the wheat innr
j ket weakened the grangers and turned
pi■icfs in general downwards in sympathy.
i I'nited States Steel preferred was deter -
' minedly supported in the early dealings, in
of the further reports of unsettled
Tions in that trade. Traders are sus-
I piciou.s of ;i apedriatnre uiigin for some of
i the uamajrins reporta of steel trade de
: vHopments and profess to detect a very
I large uncovered snort interest in the
j United States Steel preferred.
These factors have a deterrent effect on
; plans to attack the stock by short sales.
Pennsylvania also was conspicuously firm j
and the anthracite carriers -showed good
resistance under the favorable influence
of a reported afrioement on a plan for the
settlement of differences between miners
and operators in that trade. A violent .
break in Metropolitan Securities, which
! carried Metropolitan Street Railway down
with it gave added force to the reaction,
and the late weakening of the grangers
i;iu.sed the whoie list to give way.
Grain Carriers Are Off
The leading grain carriers all lost in. the
i .neighborhood of a point. A fractional ral
! ly was interrupted by the further drop in
Metropolitan Securities, and the closing
was ■ irregular. The bank statement fur- ■
I nished no surprises. The moderate cx
i pansion, made up an important part of the -
; increased • receipts,. but there was : a suf-
I ficient cash. increase .to more than . keep t
pace with the additional reserve require
ment, thus adding: $882,775 to the already
abundant surplus. Total sales of bonds par
value, $1,225,000.
The demand, for bonds has not been
active, I but prices- have. been- well main
tained. United States 2s registered have
advanced %. the 3s coupon, . the new 43 ;

September- corn • closed %cv. up and . De

Provisions gained from- a shade to (Fft&fa
> ■; Wheat - traders during- the ~: entire ** ses
sion were kept in an .= intensely excited,
mood' by -the continued S flow jof ; dispatches
from the Ndrthwest...giving-sensational
.stories of rust damage and alarming pre
dictions of what might result from a frost
before < Monday. The market had lost,
none of its ' recent i bullishness s when ■ trad-,
ing started and the opening prices showed
gams of %c to lij,e for the. September
delivery.-:, at $1.10% to $1.10%, and for
December % % e : to ■■ 1@1%c,: at $1:12% to
.51-12 There was plenty; of wheat ; for
sale at those prices by profit taking longs.
September sagged off to $I.oß%,;with De
cember back rto , $1.10"-8. There was no
suggestion of . a weakening . market, . how
ever, ■ and the; buying , was: resumed for an
-hour.- withr as: much. eagerness as though
the craze had just; broken out. At top
prices— for . September and .. $1.13%
for December—there was more liquidation
which operated to bear the , price for the
nearer month -to .$1,10%.. The close was
strong at $1.10%. December broke to
$1.12% and closed at $1.12%. Statistics
were apparently given little consideration
by the trade.

against 618,900 bushels a year ago. Clear
ances ;of wheat and flour equaled 79,500
bushels. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi

market opened today there was little for
sale, 'while commission. houses~ fcp.d. a
larg&*-number :of buying orders to fill.
September found buyers to start with at
aSTse to 5414 c,, a net advance of %c- to
%c. December opened %c to l%c higher,
at.. 52~&c to 53 34,e. The. - strength: was
stimulated, by the bullish excitement. pre
vailing; in wheat, which was in the main
favorable, to the growing, crop. Active,
covering of. short sales by local traders
sent September to 54% c, I but a reaction
to 53% c followed '■. the late > break in wheat
prices^ The-close was firm at 54c. De
cember kept within the opening range
and closed -firm at 53% c. Local receipts
were -168. cars. . .'..-
- Oats at the : outset were ; strong, the
■tone being influenced almost ; entirely by.
other grains. September started, %c to
U.&%c higher, at 3414 cto 34%@34%.
steadying at' 24% c. There was ; enough
local I long 1 selling to cause .a: reaction -to
34c and- the close was firm at that figure.
Local receipts were 389 cars; ■
