Hubbard. Price Co. s cotton circular saws:
Excepting in August, business is practically
at a standStill, the uncertainties of the market
creating indifference to the general position
In this special month manipulation continues
and prices move rapidly on transactions, which
advance on lower quotations with slight effort
The volume of business is very light, and of the
1900 bales traded in during the day two-thirds
were August contracts. Prices here on the
first call were about those of the close under
small bids, but with light offerings August
quickly advanced ID points, other months
scarcely moving from opening prices. The ad-
vance was almost as rapidly lost. and the close
shows but little strength, with the feeling of
doubt intensified by the days movement"

CHICAGO, Aug Excitement in the wheat
msrket continues, and the movement of specu-
lative values to-day was characterized by the
widest fluctuations. 1t has come to be com
mon occurrence for changes to cover a two
cent range, and interest in the deal at this point
shows no abatement whatever. There was a
tremendous heavy trading to-day, fully as large
as that of Monday, and the market again
changed front. On the down turn yesterday
the local crowd got short, and in the rush TO
cover this morning, prices were again advanced
being iIs@1Ac above yesterdays closing Later
a further advance of 34G15sc was scored, and
reactions, though frequent. were only natural
The favor of the day was the contradictory
news abroad Public cables read; Spot wheat
easy and id lower. Grain futures easy, with
prices tending down for wheat" Private cables
we're in the majority of cases extremely bullish
In tone, and as these were generally accom-
panied by generous buying orders, they APP
peared to have by far the greater influence.
There were practically no deliveries to-day on
and one that helped sensational buying New
York parties bought largely in this market to-
day, and all the surrounding markets were
higher Prices for September wheat eased off
NC from the highest point touched during the
last hour, but there was q net gain for the day
in leading futures of 1lx61l7sc. An export order
for 10000 bushels of No. 2 spring wasiilled
here, and another like order could not be exc
cuted at the limits named. Good speculative
business was transacted in corn and the feeling
developed was quite firm. There was good
