' HOT KANSAS WINDS CAUSE BIG BULGE INONIUHET Wheat and Oats FoilowThe Ad vance of Coarse Grain and Close Higher—Weekly Bank Statement Is Favorable. Corn led all the grains Saturday in the hull movement, and it is said that several St. Paul speculators cleared up big money on the advance. The opening was strong and the tone bullish from the start. A bunch of hot weather reports came in from Kansas which started the advarice. The upward movement continued until the close, which was at high point for the day. showing a gain of l*4c to 2 l-16c. Wheat was a sympathetic market Sat urday, following corn closely. The open ing was weak, due to good weather re- I>orts and lower cables. Then a favor able crop report from the Northwest aid ed the bear interests. Later the mai'At strengthened and closed at lc over Fri day. Oats were quiet and there was little trad ing. The prices followed corn, but did not advance as much. The close was %c to %c over Friday. The opening in stocks Saturday was weak, although London was higher. The market was nervous and there was an abundance of talk regarding more fail ures Monday unless assistance cornea to several of the weak commission firms. The bank statement was favorable, al though the loan item showed no de crease. What the Broker^ Say. M. Doran & Co.'B Chicago grain letter says: Wheat-^-During the greater part of the session wheat was a sympathetic market, but towards the close the shorts started covering on the strength in corn and j prices advanced sharply. Corn—The market monopolized all the strength and interest today. The market advanced with but slight reaction from the opening. Hot, dry weather in Kansas was the principal feature, and a great many reports have been received from all quar ters saying late planted corn is suffei J.g badly. Oats—Oats opened steady, with buying of May by commission houses and of Jultf by shorts and by the prominent houses long in that option. Trade was general and throughout the session the tendency was toward firmness, with closing prices al most top. and the market very strong, though buying was mostly local. S. B. Shotwell & Co.'s grain letter is as follows; Wheat —The early advices were more favorable, with outlook materially im proved, even in the Red River valley. This news held wheat down at the start, but later when corn became strong- wheat followed it up and showed even more strength toward the close than corn. The close was about high prices of the day at lc over last night. Corn —Corn opened strong, with general sentiment . very bullish. Talk of hot weather damage in Kansas induced free buying early of the May delivery and pressure was consequently light. The close was strong at l^c to 2 l-16c ad vance for the day. Oats—This market was quiet, opening about where it closed. The close waa up ViC to %q for the day. O'Connor & Van Bergen's stock letter says: After the financial disaster of Friday, as might have been naturally expected, our market today has ruled feverish and unsettled. Rumors of further failures to come are heard, but these embrace the names of concerns of no great prominence. While the prices of some stocks have not materially altered from Friday's closing, many specialties forced for sale yielded readily and showed wide fluctuations be tween sales. The bank statement, as an ticipated, showed a large increase in the reserve, but again the loan item was dis appointing, as it showed no decrease, al though this is in part accounted for on the theory that the many heavy sales which have been made in closing out loans for account of Western trust com panies and banks failed to appear. A period of dullness and stagnation must of necessity follow these disturbances, but securities have suffered very serious declines, and though the process of re turning to better prices for good stocks may be slow, we feel strongly that the basis upon which many of them are now selling will warrant purchases so soon as affairs have become comparatively more settled. J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents say of stocks: Dick Bros.—The market has been very nervous. A disappointing bank statement and fears of further failures on Monday were factors ard there was heavy selling of stocks for accounts of the firms which failed Friday. Some railroad stocks show ed good buying, particularly Union Pa cific, Baltimore & Ohio, New York Cen tra], Pennsylvania and Reading. Amal gamated Copper was weak again and Rock Island was under pressure. Harriman says—Liquidation of some 50.000 shares or more of bank loans were well taken. The more active of them the traders bought. No one seems to un derstand the maintenance of the loan ac count in bank statement. There are no further announcements of failures, but it is still expected two or three houses will have to go unless they receive assistance. Market closed steady and we feel confi dent that next week will see a better range of values. Chicago Live Stock.

MUCH DREAD IN STOCKS SHORT SESSION IS FEVERISH AND EXCITED ALL THROUGH. No Additional Failures Come to Fulfill Apprehension—Standard Stocks Unaf fected by the Panic —Bank Statement Demoralizes the Market. NEW YORK, July 25.—Today's short session of the stock exchange was fever ish and excited throughout, as an after effect of the failures of two important ex change firms yesterday and dread that those failures would have a sequel in the suspension of other embarrassed firms. Throughout the wild fluctuations in prices of specialties, the standard stocks showed evidence of the same kind of absorption and comparative stability which charac terized them in the market of most of tbe week, before yesterday's failures had ex cited and upset the market. The day passed without announcement of addi tional failures. Despite the fact that no deliveries on contract are required on Saturday and that loans made on Friday carry over, un til Monday, thus giving a breathing spell for hard pressed firms, the absence of an nouncements of failures was not entirely reassuring to the adjustment of difficul ties. Where Knowledge Is Power. That such difficulties exist is'now pretty well understood, but the general knowl edge of the pending troubles and of their location seemed to deprive the situation of much of the disturbing power the pre vious mystery possessed and did not check the absorption above referred to. Part of this buying is by shorts taking their profits, and it is highly probable that part of it is also by banking interests who -re concerned in sustaining values. But it is reported that there is also some evi dence of investment demand both from domestic and foreign sources in the be lief that the abnormal speculative situa tion here has resulted in forcing prices to a decline as artificial in its way as was the inflation which preceded it and largely has caused it. The general market sold off again on the bank statement, as the report of an actual increase in. the loan account in view of the week's violent liquidation is con sidered nothing less than astounding. Enormous Pressure for Credits. The pressure for credits which could have produced such a result must have been enormous, although it is recognized that the situation of the banks must be strengthened by the additional collateral and the improvement in its character which has undoubtedly been exacted. The bank statement was nevertheless sufficient to make the closing in stocks weak, and there was late pressure also upon bonds. The convulsive contraction in prices of many specialties was recognized as be ing due in many cases to closing out of collateral for loans of the failed firms and some of the stocks affected confirmed the plaint of the prominent operator connected with yesterday's principal failure, that even investment stocks are unsalable in the present market. Some of the other collapsed served to direct conclusions to the neighborhood of other troubles against which struggles are making-. A consider able list of declines ranging from 5 to 23% points could be compiled. The bond market has reflected the liquidation in common with stocks, but with no such volume or urgency. United States bonds were unchanged on call for the week.
