STOCK MARKET
NEW '. YORK. A "C. :?.— The
.«tock market today disclosed its
narrow limitations under condi r
tions as \u25a0 they p.vist. The sliarp
l-Pbound of the day before seemed
to exhaust the demand from the.
phorts and there was none forth
coming of a more positive nature.
While there was-, no renewal of
the urgent selling' which has
around the suspicion pf. forced
liquidation from time' to time,
there was a pressure of stocks
for Rale to realize profits on the
rebound of yesterday.
Sales were in moderate volume,
but the demand had become so
feeble and languid that no . ab-'
porptive medium was provided and
prices gave -way. Before the
close of the day the requirements
of the shorts asserted themselves
again and caused a recovery of
most of the day's declines...
The news offered, no striking
changes in conditions bearing on
values. The growing crops hold
a largo share of attention. Early
reports of more high temperatures
in Texas were succeeded by as
sertions that cloudy and cool
weather had developed there.
The money market offered
nothing to supply the depressive
influence on stocks. Movement
of cash into New York bank re
serves continues on a large scale.
The gain for the week of $4,183,
000 on subtreasury operations is
helped by large deferred pay r
ments from the assay office for
gold arriving from London. ;Ad
"ditional shipments are arriving
and yesterday's engagement of
over $3,000,000 in London remains
to g\ Into account. An existing
actual surplun reserve of upward
of $50,000,000, computed from last
Saturday's actual surplus of over
$47,000,000, seems warrantable as
sumption from these figures. \u25a0'.
The withdrawals of gold had
the effect of hardening the pri
vate discount rate in London, but
the excess \u25a0value of loans on time
in New York over London re
mains so wide that continued
movement of, gold is indicated.
A good impression was made by
the reported assertions of Chi
cago bankers that the balances
of country banks in the western
reserve centers are being largely
replenished as a result of the lib
eral jnovemeht of wheat to mar
ket. Study in detail of the banks'
returns to the comptroller affords
reassuraAce as to the reserve po
sition of the country banks, which
are responsible for the loan ex
pansion of three months preced
ing June 30.
Rumors of price cutting of steel
products by independents were ;
accompanied by a supposition \u25a0
that the United States steel cor
poration ivould meet the cuts.
The selling of United States
steel was a decisive sympathetic .
influence on the general list. The
rally in that stock afforded cor
responding relief. The dealings
in it, Union Pacific and Reading
accounted for over half the day's
business. •
Bonds were irregular. Total
sales, par value, $1,444,000.
United States bonds were un
changed on call.

Boston Copper Stocks
BOSTON. Aug. 3. — The .- copper* opened nom
inally at closing figures of yesterday and quickly -
responded to » not ut flurry of good 'buying. 1
which agsln put prices up a ' little higher. A
creeping upward aiarkPt. is more evident dally.
The prominent strong issues are being followed
as a matter of course -by the lower priced
speculative copper share?. Miami plant is fast
getting in position to produce, . probably Janu
ary 1. T'nitrd Metals company sold 100,000.000
pounds copper for domestic. consumption at 12V£c
and 12% cm the last . two ; weeks and a large
\u25a0surplus 011 hand is improbable. '

CHICAGO BOARD OF
Future Grain and Provisions
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.— Efforts to realize profits
on prpvious short selling of wheat resulte<l in a
net advnneo of Tie to II4C. There was. also
grwvi buying on the part of the speculators oper
atlug here and in northwestern, markets. The
latpst quotations showed corn higher to »ie
lower and oats unchanged to up. Proyislons
finished at last night's l*vel to 12Vic above.
In consequence of being oversold, the condition
of- wheat was murh inora responsive- to bullish
than to bearish news. _ One of the factors: in
producing an upturn was a report by the gov
ernment of France indicating - a crop in that
country of 11.000.000 bushels less than the small
est yield In recent years. The Liverpool market
was unexpectedly \u25a0 firm and so were prices- in
Winnipeg,. : • ' *
Cash wheat in' the sample market today was
somewhat firmer, premiums rising a trifle. The
September, option ranged from $1.01 to $1.02»5,
closing firm at $I.ol%<§|l.ol?s. a rise of %c to
l*«c," compared with 24 hours previous. g
Campaigners :on the bull side rallied corn
prices | today. "The weather was said to .be
rapidly warming up \u25a0 again. September fluc
tuated between 61?ic and -62%c.<' with the close
firm at C2iic, as against 62>4c to 62% c. last
night. The cash market also was firm. No. 2
yellow- closed at CA\i c. ..
In oats the deferred months exhibited a better
tone than September. ,-" High and low points for
September delivery »: were . unusually near to
gether,3fi%c and 36Vic. -with the close the same

"The feature of present conditions is with t 1
falfa. fp to the last four or five days the;-
was very little demand for this article. Tli'
dairymeu aud ail interested held off from layl>_
in their supplies, anticipating lower prices. fc;>
now, however. Washington and Oregon have eoiui-
Into oor market and purchased many thonsa->'!
tons of alfalfa for immediate and later ahipptn-.'.
owing tf> the fact that tiielr source of snppUett in
eastern Washington has been entered by Idal>--
Montana aud other northwestern states, in wui \u25a0\u25a0!\u25a0
localities the hay. crop is very short. Alfalfa •\u25a0»
being nsed more and more in the nortt-west. an<i
the heavy demands force the nortUera cities !•\u25a0
eoiue to California. Already 7.ot><» or S.QiXr ton~
have been purchaseil for shipment north, and «»
'doubt»^lty orders for as much more will be pla^e-:
before the season is over. The taking of tui
qnantlty of alfalfa materially decreases our sup
ply, and furthermore, owing to the low price* ?-i
prospect. Biiiny alfalfa raisers have permittfi
their meadows t*v go to *eed. while others bay
fed their crop off to> stock or purchased * stock t->
fatten on th*- hay that they have raised. A'i
other consideration is the fact that the water I"?
irrigation districts Is \u25a0 very low apd it is prohabl<
that there will be no' fifth crop bartesteff in th'
staf and that the fourth crop will be very short.
Heavy purchase* have been made along the Ssir

at tiie present writing It might be- said th;i:
there is no round lot of choice quality alfa!'"
avHi'lable for the Sao Francisco market on t\.-
