Wheat Weak and Fluctuating-Corn Weak,
Lacks Strength-ProvIsions Share in the
General Want of Stamina.
CHICAGO-The wheat market was wabbly
to-day. The news was not of character to
give it a decided impetus in either direction,
closing near the lowest prices of the day.
December opened at 90Lc against 9915c at
the close yesterday. In the afternoon there
was considerable pressure to sell, but as the
big buyers had filled up and Withdrawn it
was very difficult to place it ana weakness
was the result December sold off to SOL &c
and closed Mt S912c, q loss of 1c compared
with yesterdays close.
Corn was weak early, owing to nm excess
of selling orders. Starting at 5S65S15c, Sep
tember sold off to 57556c and rested for time
at about 573&c. Later on wheat making a
partial recovery, corn rallied some, Septem-
Der selling back to 5S14c. then broke to 571&c.
There was little squirt in July caused by
an attempt to cover a small short line, and
it sold from 81 II up to CA cents, while Sep
tembcr was on the down grade. There was
reaction later, and it sold to &c and closed
nt 63c. In the afternoon September was

was at 57L, against $685. Yesterday.

A DULL BEAR DAY.
THE STOCK MARKET Is PROFESSIONAL
AND NARROW.

Four Issues Furnish Nearly All the Busi-
eraI Material Losses-Railroad Bonds
Unusually Dull and Lower.
NEW YORK, July 29-The stock market to-
day had more of professional look and was
narrower than during the last few days, dis
playing weak tone. The bears were mac
tive except in Burlington, Northern Pacific.
Louisville and st. Paul, while a few special
ties, including Tennessee coal, scored ma.
tcrial declinesson small transactions The
bears for the present are certainly on top,
but they can't press the advantage too far.
In to-day's market four stocks furnished
the greater portion of the business done.
The traders raided the leading stocks
making q weak opening, but the extent of
the declines was insignificant. While the
final changes in most of the list are confined
to small Fractions the few active shares
suffered large losses for the day. The ear
lier efforts were aimed ut Burlington and
Northern Pacific preferred, but Louisville,
Lackawanna and finally St.Paul and Chicago
Gas felt the pressure to sell. There were
frequent small rallies, but no material prog
ress was made toward. higher figures, and
the market closed dull but weak at or near
the lowest prices of the day. The important
losses include Tennessee Coal, 215; Chicago
Gas, ~; Northern. Pacific preferred, 15s;
Colorado Coal and Wheeling and Lake Erie,
each u: Louisville and Nashville, III, and
st. Paul per cent.
Railroad bonds were unusually dull. There
was drop of l per cent in Richmond and
West Point Trust SIS to 81. and a subsequent
recovery, and q decline in Louisville, New
Albany and Chicago consols to 99H with
recovery to 92l4. The tone of the market
was heavy and most issues are slightly low

HOME SECURITIES.
NO BUSINESS TO BRAG ABOUT, BUT
VALUES GENERALLY STIFFER.

More Emphasis Given to the Bu1lish Sen
timent- Bidders Making Advances
Westinghouse Meetings Postponed -
Reorganization Practically Completed
Bearish sentiments so long the dominant
feature on Change, seem to be giving way to
a more hopeful and buoyant temper. Big
crops and steady improvement i'll the finan-
cial situation furnish sufficient reasons for
the change.
Trading was slow yesterday, footing up
only 100 shares, and narrow as we'll, only two
stocks, Philadelphia Gas and Duquesne
Traction, being handled, but values were
stronger for almost everything upon which
quotations were made. Philadelphia Gas
sold up to III at the last call against liz at
the first, and closed steady at the outside
figure with more wanted than offered.
Luster was q fraction off in the bidding, but
holders refused to make concessions.
Switch and Signal, Airbrnke, Underground
Cable and Pipeage were more aggressive.
Scarcely anything was said about Electric.
The adjournment of the annual and special
meetings for four weeks was something of q
disappointment. This means more delay in
listing the new stock. Mr.. Westinghouse
said everything was progressing nicely and
that the reorganization would be completed
within the prescribed 60 days. He added
that new stock certificates were being en-
graved and printed.
The market is so sensitive that as soon as
it becomes known that orders for anything
are out up go prices and business is blocked.
This is illustrated by the course of Philade-
phia Gas during the last two or three days.
1t shows that sellers are expecting an up
turn and are holding out for it.
The following from New York source fits
the local situation exactly: During the
long-continued liquidation in the stock mar
ket, n liquidation which has gone on without
disturbance, the market has been gaining
strength day by day. The stock has been
passing from the hands of brokers into the
hands of investors, and where the sales have
been forced it has gone from those .sho had
no money into the hands of men with
money"
Outside speculation has been practically
at standstill, and it is reasonable to sup
pose from these facts that very little stock
will be offered for some time to come, except
at high prices such as would remunerate
cautious investors who pay for what they
get and have no reason for selling except
desire to realize the highest sum possible.
Sales on call yesterday were:
First call-66Philadelphia Gas at l1H.
Second calico Duquesne Traction at 10; 20
Philadelphia Gas Mt III. Il
Third call-No sales.
Bids and asking prices at each call are ap-
pended:
