WHEAT SOI LOWER ON LIGHT TRADING Stop Loss Orders and Crippled Wire Service Depress Prices Wheat was lower yesterday on sell ing that resulted from crippled wire service in Northwest. The prices of near options receded on the numerous stop-loss orders that were met in the downward trend of values. Stocks were somewhat higher in Wall street. What the Brokers Say M. Doran & Co.'s grain letter says: Wheat —The market had much the same adverse conditions to contend with as yesterday. Poor wire service curtailed business and news from New Tork and liquidation by local holders ■\\ as more or less general, particularly} at the opening, when stop-loss selling was a feature. Prices regained to a large extent the early loss on the pre diction of rain in the Northwest and of frost in Manitoba. The latter, how ever, was unofficial. Towards the close prices broke on local selling on the es timate of the Northwestern Miller that the Dakotaa and Minnesota would raise 170,000,000 bu, and that there was no rust in Manitoba. We can hardly take this report seriously in view of well authenticated news received during the week. Such advices as come from the Northwest were about as bad as ever. Even the government weekly bulletin was bullish, reporting great to by rust and threshing delayed by Receipts in the Southwest are ig up. Kansas City correspondent says advices of shipments are much smaller than last week and a decreased movement is anticipated due in part to farmers preparing for fall plowing. We do not consider the situation materially changed, and when present liquidation is over and first class wire service re newed prices will again work upward. Liverpool closed %d to %d lower after ruling steady at the opening. Esti mated receipts, 77 cars. Corn — The pit was the center of bullish activity. The market was buoy ant throughout the session and the last prices were close to the top. Lines sold out on recent rains were rein stated, and wheat operators were play ing bull side. Offerings were decidedly meager to start and continued so until call price was reached, at which point the market ruled steady until towards noon when additional gains were made. The largest advance was made in Sep tember and least in May. Bullish in centives were based on staple condi tions, not on sentimental ones. De mand all around is steadily increasing. ipts moderate and local stocks are decreasing weekly. Sales to other side yesterday were larger than at iirst reported, and cables reported great strength in Liverpool spot market, which was up 2 to 2%d at one time, dosing with gains of Id to l%d. The country has ceased selling corn as sud denly as it offered it when rains be came general. Temperatures are rath er cool throughout the West for best progress of crop. Omaha reports an unusually large percentage of stalks with no ears, or with only one through many sections of lowa and Nebraska. The cash market was strong- on light offerings. We believe in purchases of corn on every recession. Liverpool fu tures closed unchanged. Estimated re ceipts 95 cars. Oats —The market was pretty well neglected except for local pit scalpers, but it eventually responded to the strength In corn. Receipts were lib eral, also increases in local stocks last week. We believe, however, in pur chases of May on recessions. Esti mated receipts, 210 cars. Provisions — There was a certain amount of firmness given provisions by strength in corn and of moderate pur chases of lard. Estimated hogs tomor row, 24,000. O'Connor & Van B,ergen's New York stock advices follow: Watson & Co.—The activity of the market at steady figures has been its most prominent feature. There has been little pressure to sell, purchasers being obliged to pay top figures. The accumulation process in Southern Pa cific, Southern Railway and allied properties seems to be going on and conducted in a very skillful manner without forcing prices too high. Trad ers are inclined -to be bullish and are looking for recessions to get aboard. Revival of the traction deal talk stim ulated renewed trading in Metropoli tan and the Securities, but there being apparently considerable stock for sale at top figures, prices quickly receded. Van Emburgh & Atterbury — The market was irregular and rather dis appointing in the lack of response to yesterday's closing strength. Several issues were active and higher on pool manipulation, and had a good trading^ following which stock was distributed at the advances. The general run of stocks was more or less reactionary, and the market acted tired last half of the day, but without weakness and with a fair demand at concessions. In view of the professional character of the greater part of the trading it may be said that the market behaved fairly well.. The close was rather heavy.

Prices receded before the end of the morning session and the volume of business, which at the outset pro mised to be very considerable, dwindled to moderate proportions. A canvas of the better known houses failed to disclose any increase in commission business, though the Middle "West was to an extent a factor in the day's operations. London, whose markets were weak as a result of fresh develop ments affecting British interests in the far East, sold a lot of stocks, chiefly standard railway shares, and bought very little. Reports, however, credited foreign houses with purchases of Mis souri, Kansas & Texas preferred. A sharp advance in cotton, based largely on the rise in Liverpool, was doubtless partly responsible for the re actionary tone in stocks as the day wore on. The market drifted aimlessly and lower prices were recorded, with a further reduction of operations. Of the more active issues Union Pacific and Southern Pacific held most firm. St. Paul was offered down by brokers identified with western interests, while Atchison was sold on rumors of frost in the corn belt. The extreme apathy of the market in the final hour ex tended to the bond division, in which dealings became very light. The clos ing reflected uncertainty. New York Central and Sugar Lose Net declines were in no instance very severe, the greatest losses being sus tained by New York Central and Su gar, each declining- iy 8 , Southern Pa cific closed with a fractional advance. The strength of Southern Railway, which was a conspicuous feature of the day, was attributed largely to the improved situation growing out of the new ownership of the seaboard sys tem. The stocks of the express com panies were among the few noteworthy,, features of the day, their gains on light trading reviving rumors of a consolida tion of these interests. Adams Express advanced 5, American Express 12, and Wells Fargo 35 points. The subtreasury made a telegraphic transfer of *200%000 to New Orleans. This is believed to represent the first shipment of the season to the cotton fields and attracted some attention be cause of the general belief that the South will this year have the largest cotton crop on record. In this event the New Tork banks will be called on for unusually heavy amounts. The, sum of $200,000 was shipped to Canada, presumably to aid the crop movement in the dominion. Foreign exchange eased off a trifle, with a slight increase in offerings of commercial bills, but not enough to affect the-market. In United States government bonds the new coupon 4's advanced % per cent on call. The bond list was firm, Seaboard Air Line 4's advancing 4% per cent. Total sales, par value, were $2,265,000.

WHEAT SAGS FURTHER HAVING TAKEN PROFITS, TRAD- ERS UNLOAD FREELY Longs Who Lead in the Unloading Are Mostly Small Holders—Little Better Tone Develops Because of North western Buying CHICAGO, Aug. 23. —Wheat traders, who had profited in previous purchases, unloaded freely today. Closing prices compared with last night's figures show a drop of l%c for September and I%@ 1%.c for December. Corn was yip l%c. Oats are off %c. Provisions vary from 5c gain to- 2%c decline. There appeared to be little in the early market news to cause the weak ness indicated by the opening prices. While crop reports were fewer in num ber, those which- came were scarcely more reassuring tha.n those which so recently threw the trade into a state of frenzied excitement. Nevertheless, in spite of possible further damage to crops, the local trade arrayed itself largely on the selling side of the mar ket.' September, which started with a loss of %c to %c at $1.09 to $1.09%, slumped to $1.07%, while December, from an initial loss of %c to lc at $1.10 to $1.10%, sold down to $1.08%. Had there been concerted short selling the market would undoubtedly have suffer ed more than it did. The longs who led in unloading, however, were chief ly smaller holders, many of the larger ones having already sold out. At the low points in both deliveries, a little better tone developed on buying at tributed to the Northwest. A report from Manitoba that some of the wheat in that province had been nipped by frost also helped the tone to some ex tent. The result of the improvement in sentiment was a rally to $1.08% for September, the closing figure, and in December to $1.10. The latter uption closed at $1.09%@1.09%, the final one displaying much of the weakness prev alent throughout the session. Statistics were against the decline, but failed to attract much attention f£pm the trade. Primary receipts were 796,700 bu, against 812,600 bu last year. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 120,400 bu. Minneapolis, Du luth ami Chicago reported receipts of 400 cars, as against 475 cars last week and 342 cars a year ago. Corn Rises The weather in the corn belt was too cold for the peace vof mind of the traders today and values were not per mitted to suffer with wheat. Even the later forecast of warmer weather did not appear to allay fear of frosts. Starting with a firm undertone but at prices unchanged to %c lower, Septem ber advanced from 54c to 54 %c to 56 % c. Pecember under an equal buy- Ing pressure began %c lower to %c higher at 53c to 53>4c and was lifted to 54%, before the demand was satisfied. As the session advanced the market borrowed strength from rumors of heavy purchases in this market for ex port. Small local receipts—267 cars, against an estimate of 467 cars—were also a factor. Some of the advance was lost through the effect of the govern ment report which showed the past week to be very favorable to crop growth. The consequent liquidation brought prices back from the high point, September reacting to 55% c and December 53% c, the final quotations for the day, but the tone at the end was strong. Oats were active and stood with but slight loss the bearish influences of heavy receipts and a tremendous in crease in local stocks. The material advance in corn was the sustaining power. An initial loss of l%c in the September option at 33% cto 33 %c, was more than regained through ex cellent scattered buying. The price went to 34c, reacted to 33 %c and again rallied to the closing figure, 33%, with a very steady tone. Local receipts were 501 cars. Provisions were inclined to firmness, being helped at the start by an ad vance of s@loc in the price of hogs, and later by the strength in corn. Trad ing was chiefly in the way of changing from September to later deliveries. September pork closed 5o up at $11.72%. Lard gained 2%c at $6.87%@6.90. Ribs were down 7%c at $7.32 %@7.35. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 77 cars; corn, 98 cars; oats, 210 cars; hogs, 26,000 head. Range of Quotations The , leading futures ranged as follows: -■■'■ 1 Open.] High. Low. | Close.

COTTON Special to The Globe NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—0n the 2d of August I advised the world to buy cotton, irrespective of the showing made by the government report. Since that time the market has advanced a cent a pound. I again urge those who are likely to need cotton during the next six months to se cure their supplies, practicable on the basis of present prices. The fall of Port Arthur is imminent, pacific intervention by the powers will probably /follow the imj ulse thereby given to the world's in dustry and the American and British export trade, in cotton goods particularly, will prove the most important since the resumption of specie payment by the United States in 1879. Meantime, the condition of the crop is rapidly deterio rating. In my opinion the condition is no better than it was at this time last year, and allowing for the reported in crease in acreage the indicated crop at present is hardly over 11,000.000 bales. It is generally admitted that a moderate crop will pass into consumption on the basis of 11 cents a pound and that a short cron means a repetition of last year's wild speculation. The depredations of the boll weevil, which infests a larger area in Texas than ever before, account in part for the rapid deterioration, but equally important is the insufficiency of labor in the South for the cultivation of the crop. In the past fourteen years the increase in cotton acreage, as reported by the government, is 53 per cent. The crop, of 1890-1 was 8,600,000 bales, the crop of 1893-4 was 10,000,000 —the- in crease in production is therefore only about 16 per cent. There is no possible prospect that the coming crop will show an increase over that of 1890 commensu rate with the increase in acreage. The reason for this is not hard to find. While the increase in acreage in the South for the past fourteen years has been 53 per cent, the increase in the negro popula tion of the South during the same period has only been 24 per cent, and in Texas, Oklahoma and Indian territory the in crease in acreage since 1890 is 124 per cent, while the increase in the negro population is only 45 per cent. Experience has proved that under the hot Southern suns the negro alone can be used for the cultivation of cotton, and the rapid in dustrial development of the South has drawn heavily upon the negro population for labor in its mines, lumber camps and railways. It is prottably true that against an increase in cotton- acreage in the South of 63 per cent in fourteen years, the increase in negro labor available for its cultivation has not been over 12 pet cent. The facts, which are taken from the United States census, point undoubt edly to only one conclusion —the South has for the past five years been plant ing more cotton acreage than can be culti vated by the labor available, and the rapid deterioration of its condition now being reported and which for' the past. four years has generally commenced to develop about this time, evidences this lack of cultivation. During the early months of its growth it needs but nttle care; with out care during its critical period it is bound to deteriorate. It may as well be accepted, in my opinion, that the max imum cotton productive capacity of the South was reached five years ago and cannot be agafn attained until the dis proportion between its negro population and its acreage shall have been adjusted. No such readjustment seems possible within the present generation. Spinners of cotton and consumers of cotton goods will do well to ponder ancj to heed the significance of these facts. —Theodore H.
