'From E. F. Hutton ft Co.'a private wire.)
NEW YORK. Aug. s.—The market opened
lower in response to weak cables, and despite a
fairly bullish weekly weather report and high
temperatures In Texas and Oklahoma; it waa
found bard to get a rally of consequence. Cor
diil sent a very favorable wire on the crop, but
there were advices from reliable sources of de
terioration In Oklahoma and parts of Texas.
Pentiment is generally bearish and the market
looks to be getting short, though the more con
servative element seems inclined to wait for fur
ther rains ln the southwest before committing
themselves too deeply to that side.

Trom J. C. Wilson & Co.'* private wire)
NEW YORK. Aug. s.—The stock market had
a spurt of activity today aud prices ruled strong,
although there was little ln the news to ac
count for the Increase of speculative operations.
We do not think thla advance will go very fa-,
but to us It seems safer to buy the standard
beats* on recessions than to sell them.
Cotton—Trading was on a moderate scale,
with the tendency downward most of the time.
Although shorts covered to some extent, there
was sufficient scattered selling to cause a reces
alon In price*.
BOSTON. Aug. 5.— The period of low prices
for tiie coppers seems to be over. Tbe market
was active and firmer today .
CHICAGO. Aug. 5. —Wheat ruled heavy from
start to finish, with Important selling by com
mission bouses all day. The action of the mar
ket shows liquidation of long wheat. If the
foreign markets follow our lead we may sag
further.

THE SAN FhANCISCO' CALL. WEUJS MS DAY, AUGUST <?, TO
STOCK MARKET IN
BETTER CONDITION
Tobacco Gains Five Points,
With Bonds Active at
Higher Figures
Canadian Pacific Heavy—
American Express Goes
Off Points
NEW TORK, Aug. s.—With business
in fairly large volume, |eday's stock
market resumed the* upward swing.
Some of the high priced specialties,
notably the tobacco issues, had gains
exceeding 5 points. Canadian Pacinc
showed heaviness and" American Ex
press lost 124 points.
The movement lacked definite cause,
other than better crop prospects in
the northwest, the outlook in the south
and southwest, according; to the offi
cial report, stJll showing serious de
ficiency in rainfall, although there ap
pears little foundation for the asser
tion that two-thirds of the corn crop
is in danger of ruin.
It is not improbable that the further
rise resulted as much from technical
conditions in the stock market as from
any other cause.
One of the day's developments was
distinctly unfavorable, a prominent In
dustrial corporation—Virginia-Carolina
Chemical—suspending its common divi
dend. Chemical stock was scarcely
affected.
There was considerable activity in
tbe bond market at higher prices, and
dealers reported a better demand at
higher prices. Government bonds also
received some stimulus, coupon 2s ad
vancing 1 per cent, registered 2s
and Panama 2s % on call.
Total sales, par value, $1,444,000.
Hutton's New York Letter
Today's session was the most en
couraging from a bull standpoint that
has been held for some time. A spurt
of bullish activity in the late after
noon carried the leading stocks to new
high figures. Traders said stocks were
supplied on the advance, but they have
been saying the same thing for weeks,
notwithstanding which the advance has
made progress.
It was reported, and credited in
some places, that in connection with
the sale of the Southern Pacinc certifi
cates, Union Pacific would make a cash
distribution of moderate size to its
stock holders.
The market appears good enough to
buy on all setbacks.

CROP ESTIMATES
PUT WHEAT DOWN
Leading Authority Says the
Yield Will Be 37,000,000
Bushels Over Last Year
jCorn and Oats Heavy on the
faarket Despite Predic
tion of Shortage
CHICAGO, Aug. s.—Wheat made a
downward plunge today, influenced In
part by an estimate that this year's
crop in the United States Is the largest
on record. The market closed steady,
but Tic to l««c under last night. Corn
flnißhe<J %c to %c off; oats down %c
to %c, and provisions up 5c to 15c.
According to a leading authority, the
wheat yield for this season will reach
a total of 37,000,000 bushels ln excess
of that of the preceding 12 months.
The new record waa figured to be 526,
--000,000 bushels winter wheat and 271,
--000,000 bushels spring.
It was after this estimate had been
made public that the market, which
had been under heavy selling pressure
throughout, reached the low point of
the day and seemed unable to rally
except a little.
Earlier elements of weakness lay ln
the end of bull enthusiasm regarding
corn and ln the total lack of export
call, notwithstanding that shippers
here were making trans-Atlantic of
fers at the lowest relative price on the
crop.
Although the shortage of corn and
oats this year was declared to be a
billion bushels compared with a year
ago, both cereals showed heaviness all
day, barring a splurge at the outset.
Taking the session as a whole, the vol
ume of conn trade was by no means
so large as heretofore of late, nonpro
fessional buying especially seeming to
have been exhausted.
Resting orders to sell at an advance
were much in evidence. Predictions of
scattered showers discouraged the
bulls and so also did later reports of
some rain at various points.
The oats crowd did not take offer
ings at all well after the market had
begun to subside with corn. Cash oats
were off lc to 3c from yesterday, and
hard to sell at thaL
Provisions advanced on account of
buying credited to packers. It was gos
sip that recent declines in the hog
market would curtail receipts to an
uncomfortable degree.
Hutton's Chicago Advices
Wheat —The- tone was heavy from
the start. The poor milling demand
and entire lack of export call, the
weakness of corn, and estimates by a
loaal expert, that the crop is the larg
est* on record, are but a few of the
depressing influences. Offers to sea
board exporters or foreign buyers di
rect have been made at lowest prices
i relative to future on the crop, without
resulting in sales.
Corn—Except for an opening bulge,
the market had a heavy tone all day.
Rallies were fractional and brief. The
i trade was by no means as large as
heretofore, the volume of nonprofes
sional buying being far less than re
cently.
Oats —Have followed corn to some
extent, but have shown even greater
weakness. This has been particularly
pronounced in cash oats, which are off
lc to 3c from yesterday and hard to
sell at that.

S.P. AUTO FERRY
IS DISCONTINUED
Ferry Boat Solano, on Port
Costa-Benicia Run Is
Taken Off
The practice of caryingr automobiles
on the Southern Pacific company's
ferry boat Solano, plying - between Port
Costa and Benicia has been discontin
ued. This is done to obviate the danger
of accidents, both to the occupants of
the machines themselves, in keeping
out of the way of trains, and because
of the Are risk arising from carrying
gasoline machines on passenger boats,
in the past, the Southern Pacific com
pany handled automobiles across the
straits of Carqulnez as a matter of ac
comodation because there was no other
way of ferrying. Since the establish
ment of the ferry boat Seattle between
Benicia and Martinez, however, this
need for automobilists has been satis
fied in another way, and the Solano
service is no longer necessary.
The tendency of all railroads is to
keep gasoline machines away from pas

United States inspectors recently
ruled against smoking on any deck of
a vessel on which automobiles are
standing.
