Flour and Millstuffs. CHICAGO. July 20.— Improved weather and the heavy selling of yesterday caused weakness In wheat at the start to-day, and the early depression was considerably augmented by the eevcre break In corn prices. September opened with a loss of V4@%c to %c at 77%@77&c to 77 %c, and there was very little wanted at the decline. Prices held fairly steady'durlng the first hour at the lower range, but later a bet ter demand developed, Induced by bullish news from the Northwest, where reports from Man itoba showed greatly reduced crops In that sec tion. Shorts covered freely, and some promi nent longs reinstated lines which they had sold out, which resulted In the market taking a sharp up-turn. September selling up to 7lH«c On the advance offerings became extremely scarce and prices were well maintained throughout the remainder of the session, Sep tember closing at 78%c. a net gain of l%@l^c General rains throughout Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska caused heavy selling In corn at the opening; extreme weakness prevailed, Septem ber being off %c to %c at 61V4©51%c. At one time the offerings were overwhelming and the market was badly demoralized, but later a good demand developed on reports from sec tions of the corn belt to the effect that only light showers had fallen and that much more rain was needed. After selling between 5194c and 62%c, September closed %c higher at 62%c. . • ,..'.; Oate acted largely In sympathy with corn, opening weak, but showing a good rally later with local longs, -who had-sold out their lines, replacing them on the break. I The close .was firm with September We higher at 33%e. Provisions ruled active and strong the greater Chicago Grain Market. WEA7HEII CONDITIONS AND GENERAL FORECAST.

Conditions In the. fruit market had no note worthy change. Good sound fruit suitable for shipping was wanted for shipment on the Puget' Sound steamer, and occasional lots of " such stock in small boxes and crates commanded a small premium over the quoted rates. Re ceipts of Bartlett Pears from the river were very heavy, but the market was steady for No. 1 stock under liberal purchases for canning account. No 2 Pears were In "free supply and sold off fairly well to peddlers and others, but at easy prices. Apricots In bulk were quite steady and the best offerings readily com manded the top 'rate, but for the common run of offerings $25 was an extreme figure. Apri cots In small boxes were offering freely and neglected. Plums and Peaches In bulk were In fair request among runners and cleaned up well. Freshly arrived Peaches In baskets met with prompt sale, but carrled-over stock moved slowly. Figs were more plentiful than for some time past and were lower. Large pack ages from the river were marketed late, hence the low prices. Fancy Apples were still in de mand, but supplies were too heavy for the market and prices declined. Fancy Grapes and choice red Nectarines were in fair request, but common and Inferior stock was In free supply and moved slowly. There was a sharp drop In Nutmeg Melons and Cantaloupes under heavy receipts from the river. Watermelons moved slowly at unchanged rates. ! There were seven cars on the market. Longworth Strawberries and Currants were In limited supply and steady. Most of the Longworths came to hand In poor condition, being badly shaken up, hence the wide range In prices. Choice Raspberries and Blackberries were steady. The canners secured a few chests of Raspberries at $3 per chest. Prices of Lo ganberries were largely nominal. Receipts were light and mostly poor and soft. There was nothing new In Citrus fruits aside from a decline In Mexican Limes.

NEW TORK.^July 29.— Operations in the stork market took on a more conservative tone to-day ar.il the leaps and bounds of the first recovery from the long depression gave place to a mote creer.ing process. Even this mod erate upward pace wts not maintained and there was irequent hesitation and reaction. The news of rain In the Southwest and the resulting weaknees in the grain market was a benefit to the stock market, as a close eye U kept on all news bearing upon the condition or the corn croi*. There «ai no evidence of re newed liquidation of the forced character that ccst the market so dear for some time past, but the demand for stocks, nevertheless, Fhowed signs of satisfaction, and the selling, though light, was sufficient to force prices backward again. There Is an element among stock buyers I which refrains persistently from entering the market until conclusive evidence Is shown that the turn has definitely come. It la made up In part of speculative shorts for a long turn and in part of investment buyers, who dread to hold stocks through a decline, in distinction from that class called bargain-hunters, which takes stocks and holds them regardless of the market prices. The demand from this element srems to have been exhausted quickly. The banr»ln-humer element, of course, -decline* to I follow any advance in prices. The recovery has readied sufficient dimension* to induce profit-taking also by the speculative buyers fcr a short turn who were so fortunate as to get In at last week's low prices. It U an Inevi table consequence of such a forced liquidation with the little sustaining power In the market that a strong class of holders should have been able to hold through the. weakest point by an agreement between themselves; and their credi tors In order to avert needles* sacrifice to both by forced liquidation of collateral. The result is a considerable amount of credits extended with a stipulation for liquidation at the first good opportunity. A rising market at this time meets a considerable pressure of such contingent liquidation. Aside from these tech nical considerations, there remains a conserva tive spirit of waiting to perceive how far the businot-a and Industrial affairs of the country will respond to the possible index afforded by the recent movement of •ecurltles prices. The oolnlona of prominent bankers on the situation :mpert«il yesterday to the Associated Press made ui impression upon the financial district and imply the warning tone adopted by one Influential banker that the commercial and Industrial interests of the country may have to undergo later an experience of liqui dation like that through which Wall street har just been passing. There was a distinct relaxation In the time money market to-day. The wide movements In to-day'F market were confined to specialties, under the influence of special causes. The day's n«f changes are not important, the earlier gains having been rather more than wi|>ed out by the reaction., The Atchlsons were conspicuously pressed for eale. Bone"? were generally Irregular. Total sale* (par value), $2,565,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. ¦ SEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stock — ' , Sales. High. Low.
