' CHICAGO," July 11.—Midsummer dull
ness prevailed on the board today, and
Huctuations in all commodities were nar
row in consequence. Wheat closed un
changed, corn unchanged, oats V2C lower
and provisions 2^. and 10c higher.
September wheat opened about %c low
er, at i2&<j73c, sold between 72* c and
r3%c, and closed unchanged at '(3c. Fair
weather in the wheat belt and continued
large primary receipts caused a degrte
of easiness at the start, and a furth.r
decline followed the opening. The decline
was soon recovered. There was irregular
buying by the less confident shorts who
feared the influence of the Russian crop
failure, fresh confirmatory news of which
was received today, and the absence of
• selling pressure was not sufficient to sus
tain prices. Changeswere small until aft
ernoon, when trade broadened out some
what. Bradstreet's reported 178,000 de
crease in the world's visible, and reports
were received of damage to Wisconsin
spring wheat. It was also reported that
1,200,000 bu spring wheat had been sold at
Toledo yesterday. Buying which follow
-. Ed this news advanced the prices to the
highest point of the day, 73% c. But the
Impression that the Toledo report was
an exaggeration gained a foothold later
as no confirmatory news was received
and a slow decline followed, shorts cau
tiously resuming selling.
The seaboard reported twenty-six loads
taken for export. Receipts at primary
points were 885,000 compared with 126,030
last year. Northwest receipts were 657
cars against seventy-one last year. Chi
cago receipts were 131 cars, five of Chl
tract grade. Trade became dull aga'n
toward the close, and the pit at times
was half empty, with the . business
usually a feature of narrow trading.
Corn was dull but fairly steady. The
market was almost entirely a sympathsile
one, prices following closely the fluctua
tions of wheat. Speculative demand was
moderate, and cash business rather small,
buyers apparently hesitating over the
estimated crop of two billion bushels. Re
ceipts, 1,102 cars. September ranged from
33% to 34% c, and closed Xinchanged, at
33% c.
Oats, like other grains, were extremely
dull, but steady for the greater part of
the session. There was a fair Eastern
demand for the cash article. Longs sold
In a small way, but steadily, and this
liquidation ultimately resulted in a trifl
ing decline. Receipts were heavy, 474' cars.
September ranged from 20V* to 20%@20ȣc,
and closed Vie lower, at 2014 c.
Provisions were firm and fairly active.
Speculative demand both local and from
the. outside was good, and prices aver
aged.'slightly higher all day. At the
close September pork was 10c higher, at
JS.9O; September lard 5c lower, at $5.40,
End September ribs 5c higher, at $">.15.

OTHER GRAIN.
GRAIN GOSSlP—Gossip by private
wire to H. C. F. Smith & Co., St. Paul,
members of the New York stock ex
change and Chicago board of trade.
Prime says: "Very full reports from
along the line of the Illinois Central, both
from Illinois and lowa, from its best corn
areas show the crop now doing very well
and everything points to an average crop
this season. Northern Mist-curi says the
first threshing of winter wheat shows the
quality to be gcod, but in quantity no
better than expected. Most of tho crop
will go into the stack. Fiom along the
line of the Burlington and Missouri roads
in Nebraska reports show that corn is
better than at this time last year. Corn
is nearly four feet high During the
last forty-ejght hours have received very
full reports from Nebraska and ll.in >is
with regard to the receipts of oats and
corn and they practically make this
showing. During the last thirty days
faimers have been very free sel-ers of o d
oats and corn, and the next sixty days
points to much lighter receipts. This is
particularly the case as to reserves of
oats."—"Liverpool and London practi
cally unchanged. The government report
is about the Fame on both wheat and
corn as expected, indicating a crop of
522,,000,000 bu of wheat, with farm re
serves of 65,000,C00 bu and a crop of sl'ght
ly over 2,0.0,000,000 bu of corn. Weather
in the Northwest is favorable. Thera are
prospects of smaller receipts at primary
markets and a slight falling off has taken
plaice, but they are still large. Only a
small export demand <it the seaboard and
none here. Speculative trade is small.
The Northwest crop is still the key to the
future." Michigan state report: "The
July Michigan report estimates the wheiit
yield of the state at 15.250,000 bu, an aver
age of 8 bu per acre. List year the Mich
igan wheat crop was 31,0C1,000 bu. The
prospect is excellent for a large crop of
corn and oats."

AUSTTN, Tex., July 11—The cotton ex

They also find that the heavy rain which
produced the flood and ruined the crops

Call money, New York ..........5@(S 5c
NEW YORK, July 11.-The stock mar
ket strikingly demonstrated its inherent
strength again today with a practical re
covery of yesterday's loss. dosing prices
today were only slightly below those of
Saturday and in some exceptional cases
sharply above. The only conditions in
which any change has taken place are
purely technical. These were the elimina
tion of a weakly margined long account
and the creation of a short accouint
and the creation of a short interest. Lon
don began to sell stocks in New York
tt the opening today, as it did yesterday,
but instead of coming up on a large ac
count of nearly exhausted margins, as
was the case yesterday, the opening de
cline invited buying to cover the short
account put out yesterday. The buying
from this source furnished the principal
suport to the market in the early deal
ings. It was especially marked In Sugar,
the New York traction and gas stock,
which suffered most severely from the
decline yesterday. These covered, the
market came to a standstill, the bulls ap
parently lacking courage to push their ad
vantage, in face of the continued stiffness
of the money market, which held quite
firmly about ihe legal rate for call money.
Sligthly before noon, however, a deter
mined buying movement developed in the
great trunk lines, and with occasional
intervals of dullness continued for the
rest of the day, then spreading from
one group to another until it embraced
pretty much the whole list. The agree
ment among the trunk lines to restore
rates on grain to the seaboard was appar
ently the cause of the origin of buying
in that group, St. Paul's increase in gross
earnings for the first week of July of $203,
--j 522 prompted the buying of the Grangers.
The high rate for call money was ig
nored and very large amounts loaned on
the stock exchange at 6 per cent. The
rate eased off to 4 per cent at one time,
but rose again to 6 per cent, the demand
apparently continuing large for the In
creased supply available. Interior ex
changes . continued to run Hgainst New
York, but yesterday's contraction of loans
had apparently left the New York banks
in an easier position. Demand sterling in
New York only held firm under the stress
of the high money rate in London, but a
sterling exchange in Paris and Berlin a.l
vanced sharply and discounts were easier
at those centers. Long stei ling in New
York weakened an additional fraction un
der the sales of futures, based on the ex
pected outward movement of merchan
dise to begin in a short time.
Among the special points of strength in
the late stock market were Texas & Pa
cific, and later the whole Southwestern
group. Wall street had the rumor of a
contemplated merger of Wabash and Mis
souri Pacific to account for the strength
of those stocks. Northern Pacific also
scored a " brilliant advance, recovering
more than its dividend, which was taken
off today: There was a simultaneous ad
vance in Tennessee Coal, Colorado Fuel
and American Steel and Wire, which rose
from 2 to 2%, and also in C. & 0., Cleve
land, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis, and
Lake Erie & Western preferred. After
fractional reaction on professional profit
taking, prices were marked up again to
near the best in the closing dealings.- ;
Bonds rallied somewhat from the early
weakness in sympathy. with stocks, but
are slightly lower on the day. Total sales,
par value, $2,080,000. United States new

Co. wire us:
"There is? a decided change in the tone
of today's stock market; it looks as if
the exaggerated condition of the financial
situation had been pretty thoroughly dis
counted and we are pleased to say that it
is pretty generally conceded that, while
money may work a little close for a few
days, by the end of the month we shail
see it rule very easy. Under these influ
ences the stock market shows a decided
improvement hot only in the railroad
shares, but in the industrial list. An in
dustrial that hap not received much at
tention of late Is A. C. 0., and we hear
on excellent authority that the affairs
of the company are in very good shape.
Earnings excellent and that the dividend
to be declared in October would be 4 per
cent, an advance of 1 per cent over pre
vious years. The stock ought to sell
higher we believe. Regarding the local
traction stocks, we doubt if there will be
any difficulty from labor troubles. These
stocks show some improvement today,
buth Manhattan and Metropolitan re
cording smart advance. The Atchison
stock continue to attract a good deal of
attention. We think the rise for the pres
ent in this stock is sufficient. Great dull
ness prevails here and in the face of this
the strength of the market is rather sig
nificant. The First National bank party
is supposed to have made extensive pur
chases in the market yesterday. It looks
now as if prices would move upward, but
we do not exactly feel like advising any
extensive purchases of stocks at the rul
ing prices, and feel that there should be
some shake down in values before any
extensive orders are given."

SNUB FOR ALGER.
Conference at the White Honttc to
Which He Was* Xot Invited.
WASHINGTON, July 11.—(Special.)—
Gossip in official circles is ' once more
busy with the name of the secretary of
war, and today it Is stated more posi
tively than ever before that Mr. Alger
must retire from the official family .of
President McKinley. This gossip . is
based uon a secret conference which it
is asserted was held . Saturday night. at
the White house. The president. Secre
tary Long, Attorney General GHkks,
Adjt. Gen. Corbin and Gov. Roosevelt
were present. It is admitted that the
gentlemen named were at the White
house at the time mentioned . and that
Gen. Alger was not. It is also admitted
that Philippine affairs were discussed.
Such a snub, it is believed, can have but
one result, the retirement ot Seciviary Ai
gor.
