CHICAGO, Aug. Wheat got well
above the 70-cent mark today, closing
strong at an advance of l&c. The bullish
government crop report was the main fac
tor in the scramble for cover which took
place, and which at one lime advanced
the price 2V4c. Corn, oats and provisions
were all pulled out of the hole by the
strength of wheat, corn and oats closing
a shade higher and provisions 211/>c
higher.
Wheat started with an advance of
%@%e for September, opening liv.des in
that option beng made at 69%@69% 1 c. Bull
news, for the first time In weeks, was
plentiful. But all else was lost sight of
in the government figures on the condition
of spring wheat. They showed a decline
of 8.1 ponts in the condition, suggesting a
crop of 235,000,000 bushels. This would
indicate a decrea.se of 60,000,000 bushels, a
shortage too great to be overlooked, even
in the present apathetic condition of trad
ing.
To add to the strength of -he situation
■eports from the Northwest told of seri
>us and widespread damage by yester
lay's hail storm in the Dakotas and Min
»esota, and Northwest receipts showed a
narked falling off. Cables, however, were
ather disappointing, Liverpool showing
»uc %@%c advance early, and even this
light advantage was lost before the mar-
Let closed for the day.
The opening advance was looked upon
>y a majority of the' elder tralers as suf
tcient considering the news, and consider
ible selling followed, under which Sep
ember slowly declined to 69'Ac. Offerings
vere all absorbed, so quickly, in fact,
hat although a period of dullness follow
•d. the declne to 69%c, some of the early
iellers attempted to cover shortly after
loon. Then it developed that the market
vas- heavily oversold. Offerings were |
icarce and apparently the attitude of the j
vhole trading element changed within a
ew minutes. In the next half hour the
>uying developed into a reg-ilar scram
ble among shorts to cover and the rapid
ty with which prices shot up caught
nnny heavily. Before the demand had
>een satisfied September had advanced to
l%c. Realizing at that figure was heavy
ind a decline to 70%£«70%c followed, but
he market was well supported, shorts b-i
--ng anxious to cover even at that price
ind the close was strong at 70%c.
Northwest receipts were 115 cars,
u-alnst 305 last week and 99 a year ago.
2hicago receipts were 53 cars, 14 of con
raet grade. Total primary receipts were
170,000 bushels, against 436,000 last year.
Vtlantic port clearances amounted to 320,
--109 bushels. There was a better cash
kmand for all grades of wheat and 60,000
d'as reported worked here.
Corn was weak early, on the govern
ment report, which indicated an excep
tionally large crop. This was the chief
feature of the morning trading, and
though no material decline took place,
the market tended downward until the
big advance took place in wheat. That
started buying in corn, shorts coming
into the market and advancing the prces
at all futures. A feature was the buying I
of May, possibly 500,000 bushels. The cash j
demand was not so active. Receipts were j
light, 273 cars. Crop ndvlces were favor
able. September ranged from 30%@30%c
and closed %c higher at 20%@30%c.
Oats were exceptionally dull, but firm,
with prices following narrowly the course
t>t wheat. There was good buying of Sep
tember by shippers, supposed to be
against cash sales, but nothing was re
ported worked here. The government re
port advanced the condition slightly. Re
ceipts were 384 cars. September ranged
from 19%c to 19%c, closing at 19%@1934c.
Provisions were slow and rather easier,
Bmall declines taking place during the
morning trading. Hog prices were lower
and packing interests were sellers. The
market turned firm in the afternoon with
Ihe advance in wheat, and under good
general buying the declines wore recover
sd and small advances scored. There was
1 good demand for lard, but cash busi
ness as a whole was slow. At the close
3eptember pork was 5c lower at $5.25; Sep
tember lard 7%c lower at $5.25.
Estimates tomorrow: Wheat, 111; cern,

Prime says: "Corn reports from Ne- '
braska show that the movement of '
corn continues very light, and there is i
no prospect of any increase for some I
time to come. Not looking for a very i
free movement of oats at present prices.
Important winter wheat counties in Cen
tral Illinois show that millers sire tak- I
ing all the wheat that is offered, and j
there are no reserves of old wheat in
farmers' hands. Corn reports from |
Eastern Kansas show that the mercury j

Reliable advices from Hallock, Minn., i

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The stock mar
ket made some show of activity and
strength in the early dealings today, but
the movement had about exhausted itself
before the end of the first hour. The
heavy tone in many railroad stocks af
fected the industrial specialties which
bad started to go up, and realizing set in
which helped the bears. The market re
fused to go up again and drifted quite
aimlessly for the rest of the day, the
volume of business falling to the lowest
ebb.
The stocks which made the early activ
ity were ihe Iron and Steel and Leather
stocks. Some of the former group had
quite handsome net gains remaining at
the close of the day, Federal Steel and
Colorado Fuel being the only ones in the
group to show net lossea. Tennessee
Coal was still foremost in the movement
and touched 83^, but failed to make its
net gain a point.
There was a tremendous scramble to
take on United States Leather, and the
price touched 10%. Practically tha whole
of its gain was wiped out in a realizing
movement and the preferred stock closed
slow last night. There was a midday
demand for Mexican Central and M.-xi
can National, which was unexplained In
the day's news. Detroit Gas and Union
Bag and Paper, both common and pre
ferred, showed sharp gains.
There were a few strong spots in the
raliroad list, notably Chicago Great
Western debentures, which are up 1%,
and Missouri, Kansas & Texas, both
common and preferred. Oregon Naviga
tion lost 2% of its recent rise. A few
railroad stocks showed fractional gains,
but the genral tone was heavy. The
condition of spring wheat shown by the
government report had some influence.
Much was made of a report that a rate
from New York to Kansas City had been
made on freight by way of the Grand
Trunk and Chicago, Burlington & Quin
cy, to meet the rate by way of the gulf
and Southwestern lines. Some anxiety
was felt lest this might presage a war
of rates calculated to have a very unfa
vorable effect on earnings.
There grew the fear during the day that
tomorrow's bank statement might not
prove the encouraging exhibit which has
been predicted for it during the week.
It is believed that some money has come
to New York from out-of-tewn banks to
be placed in loans, but in otht-r c.ises,
undoubtedly, outside bunks have drawn
on their deposits in New York banks to
place these loans. It is expected that
New York banks will be shown to huva
reduced their loans. Call loans were
about steady today and the decline to
2% per cent in the late dealings was of
little significance, as it occurred al er
most of the demand had been satis
fied.
Movements in bonds were sluggish and
Irregular and business was not large. To
[ tal sales, par value, $1,0'J3,000. United
States new fours advanced % in the bid
' price.

WALL STREET GOSSIP—New York
stock gossip reported by H. Holbert &
Son, bankers and brokers, 341 Robert
street, National German-American Bank
building. St. Paul: Strong, Siurgis &
Co. wire us: "Our market today has been
one of fair activity exhibiting s-trength in
the industrials at* the expense to a cer
tain extent of the standard railroad is
pm-s. Indicating a tendency on the part
of the public to take up the more specula
tive stocks. Mexi.-.tn National and Cen
tral have been active on good buying by
German banking houses. Great Western
and K. P. preferred have been strong,
showing a growing tendency to buy se
curities of the comparatively smaller and
intermediate roads, looking toward an in
creased value as the result of consolida
tion or absorption. The Leather stocks
! have been active and we would renew our
advice of this morning that the present
price of the common stock should be
1 taken advantage of. Big four shows for
I the year ending June 30, some $800,000 in
crease in net earnings. We venture to
predict that if much activity should arise
in the stock market it will be followed by
i a much more active money market and
I this belief is held by many and in our
I opinion to a great exce"i is the one re
| straining influence upon the market."
Barrett, Farnum & Co., Chicago, tele- .
graphed the following to Edwards & i
Bedell, stock brokers and commission
merchants. 110 Endicott Arcade, St. Paul,
Minn.: "Keene interview Is having its
effect on the market. Boston houses sell
ing Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. West
ern houses selling: Atchison preferred."
"Activity in Leather continues the fea
ture. They say the organization of cap
italization of the company is an accom
plished fact and insiders are predictln still
higher prices for it. T. C. Buck has bought
10,000 so far. Houseman 6,000, been good
deal of other scattered buying. Speegel
berg sold 15,000." "Good deal of the sell
ing of stocks today has been by bear in
terests who continue to talk about tight
money. Mr. Keene has been a good sell
er of some stocks while bulling others.
Commission business beendight owing to
disposition to await bank staement. It is
practically a room traders market and
has been so all day." ' . -

a reversal of the tone, alarming the

MIDWAY HORSE MARKET—
sota Transfer, St. Paul, Barrett & Zim
merman's report: A brisk activity was
apparent in all branches of the market.
Drafters were much looked for and sold
at seemingly high prices, but did not
do the shippers any good, as the country
prices were high. The summer dullness
has broke for the strong demand of
nearly all classes of horses which is usual
for the fall trade. Western horses were
numerous, and attracted a great deal of
attention by the buyers. This class of
horses will vary in prices from $15 to $t!0
a head. The representative sales of
horses were as follows:
Drafters, choice to extra $120 to 160
Drafters, common to good :. 80 to 100
Farm horses, ■ choice to extra 105 to l"0
Farm horses, common to good.. 60 to 75

INDUSTRIAL I«f?flrißY.
Committee Hear* Three WitneMMMl
on ltatlr«!««l Rate llinrsf*.
CHICAGO, Aug. 11—Edward S. Rich
ards, a retired grain dealer and shipper,
resumed his testimony before the sub
committee of the Federal Industrial com
mission here today. He reiterated his
charges that bills of lading issued by
railroad companies for shipment of grain
are illegal and supported his charges by
referring to a blank bill of lading secured
from the freig-ht office of a trunk line in
this city and by quoting the statutes of
Illinois relating to the duties of public
carriers and the weighing and inspection
of grain. This testimony was admitted
to !he records and will be included in the
report of the Industrial commission to
congress. Mr. Richards made the specific
charge that the railroads made out their
bills of lading in such an ambiguous
manner that they are not held responsi
ble for losses in the shipment of grain
after it leaves the hands of the con
signor. This, Mr. Richards stated, was
in direct violation of the law.
Gen. John McNulta, who testified be
fore the subcommittee in Washington on
the workings of the whisky trust, ap
peared before the subcommittee today
and discussed the rate situation and the
attitude of the Canadian Pacific railroad
toward the interstate commerce regula-
tions of this country. He sharply criti
cised the methods of the Canadian road
and said that the interstate commerce
commission should receive authority to
compel all competing lines of the country
to adhere to fixed rates, which should
also apply to water traffic.
Senator Kyle stated that the inquiry
into that phase of the rate situation
would be taken up when the subcommit
tee returns from the North, and Gen.
McNulta was requested to appear before
the committee at that time and present
testimony.
NEITHEK FATALLY HURT.

Teamster I Irlh.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 11.—William T.
Caple, a non-union motorman on the
Central avenue line of the Big Consoli
dated company, today fired two shots
at William Little, a teamster, both bul
lets taking effect. In return Little pick
ed up a hatchet lying in his wagon and
hurled it at Caple, striking the motor
man in the head and making a frightful
wound. The latter claims that Little
called him a "scab" as his car was pass
ing the wagon. This the teamster denies.
The mortorraan is in jail upon the charge
of shooting to kill. Neither man is fa
tally injured.

WHISKY AT COMMUNION.
Delegates to African lioillst
Conference Victims* of a Hoax.
KEWANEE, 111., Aug. 11.—Ministers
and elders of the African Methodist
church, in conference here, have made
the startling discovery that a poor quali
ty of whisky has been substituted for
the unfermented wine which they drank
at the communion service. The dele
gates, most of whom could under no
circumstances be Induced to partake of
alcoholic beverages, all swallowed a por
tion of the whisky.
The discovery of the substitution was
made by Presiding Elder G. W. Galms,
and his announcement of the fact caused
consternation in the conference. All
efforts to fix responsibility for the impo
sition have so far proved unavailing.
