EARLY TRADING
BRINGS PRICES UP
Leading Issues Up Fraction to
2 Points in First Hour.
NEW YORK Aug. 17.—There was a
general demand for stocks In the early
trading today with leading laauea mov

In the first twenty minutes. .
Steel wa* advanced % to 87% and
Baldwin and Bethlehem Steel both moved
up close to 1 point on fairly large
trading.

then advanced to 81%.
Royal Dutch and Shell Transport again
made further substantial gains and Pan-
American moved up over 1 point to 83.
Reading advanced % to 88.
A feature was the strength of American
Ship and Commerce, which advanced over
2 points to 23%.
After the first fifteen minutes busi
ness flattened out to such an extent
that about the only transactions made
were those by the professional traders
on the floor and with this decrease in
activity prices reacted slightly.
United States Steel yielded % from
its high price to 87, while Baldwin,
after advancing 1 point to 106%, reacted
to 104%.

close.

—Aug. 17 —
A canvass of the dry goods trade and
wearing apparel industries shows activ
ity to continue at a very low ebb with
the public apparently not yet satisfied
that holders of merchandise have gone
the fnll distance in the matter of price
concessions.
In other words. It would seem there is
more to take place in the way of liquida
tion and readjustment in commercial
lines and this being the rase, weakness
such as developed in stocks today sug
gested that the market is still trying
to take the measure of the contraction
which has become increasingly appar
ent in various lines of business during
the last two months.
The foreign situation has given rise
to so many doubts and misgivings that
the market seems to have been prevented
from functioning as a barometer of trade
conditions with the same degree of ac
curacy and reliability that it usually
does.
The news from abroad was not as re
assuring as could have been desired and
the announcement that President Wilson
has called a meeting of the cabinet to
consider the situation furnished the mo
tive for a selling movement of moderate
proportions shortly after mid-day. The
trade did not attain sufficient volume to
indicate anything mere than scattered
liquidation.
At the close a feeling of weakness and
hesitancy was still in evidence.

(By Thomson & McKinnon)
—Aug. 17-
Wheat—A steadier feeling was shown
in this market, based on reports of a
! holding teudency by the farmers and a
little more export inquiry which, how
ever, did not result in any particular new
business The opening of the Winnipeg
market, tomorrow, will be a feature. No.
3 northern wheat is deliverable on con
tracts at 7 cents discount there.
Corn —Firmness in this market was the
result of a liberal decrease in the visible,
moderate receipts, some claims of rain
needed in central Kansas- and parts of
Nebraska, and a disposition to go a lit
tle slower after yesterday's sharp de
| dine. Cash prices, however, were rather
I flat, showing only a half cent recovery
| from yesterday's decline, which extended
as far as six cents. Any talk of lack of
: rain west is not taken seriously. We see
, nothing in the outlook to warrant any !
! expectation other than that declines will i
i follow the natural reactions made Just j
j now.
! Osts—September oats were decidedly :
weak and heavy with concentrated selling
Iby northwest and eastern firms. There j
[ was some buying of December in Min
neapolis and selling of the same in Chi- ]
cago, that helped keep the market sup- j
plied with offerings. The oat crop Is
made, the movement Is coming along sat- j
isfactorlly and the teudency seems lower.
Provisions showed weakness early on
the disappointment in the local stocks
statement, which showed an increase in
lard where a decrease was expected,
i However, the hogs were again higher and
1 we are Inclined to think that the buying
1 side of lard will repay patience.

With an over supply of good light and
heavy hogs, glow' demands and talk of
a lower Chicago market, the hog market
here today ‘dropped 10 to 25c.
Light hogs that generally would have
brought sl6 on the Monday market
brought, $15.75, while the extreme top
of $15.85 was paid for ’but few light
hogs.
The opening of the market was dull,
but It became more active after the first
few minutes.
Local packers took around 4,000, and
eastern shippers 6,000 of the 12,000 hogs
oh the market, while there were approxi
mately 1,000 hogs left over from the
Monday market.
There were rumors that one or two
toads were bid at $15.90, but such sales
were entirely outside the general market
and there wopre no records made of such
sales.
The schedule of local packers and
other buyers to which most of the buy
ing and selling on the market conforms
follows: Hogs weighing 160 tc 210
pounds, $15.75; 210 to 225 pounds, $i5.60;
225 to 250 pounds, $15.40; 250- to 275
pounds, -$15.13. 275 to 300 pounds, sls.
Rough* brought sl4 and down, while
pigs were practically steady with yester
day at $15.50 and down.
The bulk of the hogs on the market
weighed from 160 to 260 pounds, while
It was estimated that one-fourth of the
hogs on the market were good lights.
The cattle market was bsrely steady
with Monday, good she stuff steady and
heavy steers and other stuffs slightly
weak.
Buying was not generally as active as
on Monday, although there was generally
conceded to be more cattle among the
1,000 receipts of the day than were on
Monday's market.
There was a big break In the calf
market due to a lack of a good, strong
demand.
Best calve* were down $1 and me
dium and common stuff was down sl@
1.80.
The top was sl6, a drop of $1 from
Monday's market, while the bulk of the
good calves sold at $15@15.50.
Receipts for the day approximated 800.
