Oats were quiet and firm, principally in

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Wheat had a STRONG
opening to-day and made a considerable
gam, put all the advance was not held. The
strength was due to a number of bullish
motors, including stronger cables, a partial
recovery OF the trade from the cholera
panic and a general impression that the
vienna Congress report was likely to prove
q bullish one; but the principal strength
vas found In the news from the Northwest.
reports from there showed that it had
xNined continuously for the past "a hours
ana tnat farmers were apprehensiye of
great damage to the crop 1t was also said
that cold wave was behind the rain storm
and that dangerously low temperature was
probable. The inspection sheet also went
far to confirm the reports of the poor quality
of the wheat in the Northwest which have
been SO general of late, as out of 40 cars of
new spring wheat only seven cars were mn
TO the contract grade.
There was good buying from the start
parity for the long account and partly to
cover shorts, and as there was not much of
fered firmness was the general rule. Later
on the large increase in the visible supplv
and some reason TO believe that the early
bullish news from the Vienna Congress was
not well founded the market lost q good deal
of what it had gained. The Information, as

FEAR OF HIGH RATES
For Money This Fall Used by the
Bears With Some Success.

Other Losses Generally Confined to Frac-
tional Amounts.
SEVERE PRESSURE on THE cOALBRs

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The bank state.
ment Saturday. while having little or nc
effect at the time of issue, upon further study
shows that the funds of the banks are being
depleted at rapid rate and borrowers are
now looking for an almost certain advance
in money rates in the fall This condition
was the moving influence in the stock mar
ket to-day with the usual result of extreme
dulIness in the general market and special ac-
tivity accompanied by falling quotations in
the few stocks in which the bears were en-
couraced to attack. Among these Louis
vile and Nashville, Reading, Missouri
Pacific and Pacific Mail followed each
other, but as a rule the losses were confined
to fractional amounts, the last named being
the only important exception. The bulls
in ST. Paul were encouraged by the appar-
ent proximity of a dividend, which hope
the statement for July greatly encour-
aged, and that stock offered q
stubborn resistance to the depressing
influences, actually showing gain of Il per
cent at one time. Notwithstanding the
severe pressure brought against Reading,
the decided bull talk upon Lackawanna and
Delaware and Hudson served to restrain the
selling of the chief member of the coal
group and the inconsiderable success met
with led to abandonment of the effort after
noon. The advance was the result of opera
tions of the traders, and they, taking their
cue from the weakness of Louisville and the
industrials ceased to buy and later sold free
ly when it became evident that liquidation
by the cliQues WAS in progress.
All the last hour the bears became more
aggressive and tried not only Reading, but
Louisville, Canada Southern, New England,
Sugar and some specialties, all of which
yielded materially, and the lowest prices of
the day were made Just before the close
The pressure upon Reading was severe in
the afternoon and the transactions reached
very large figures in comparison with the
trading in the rest of the market, but
Pacific Mail, which was subjected to
severe drive just after noon, scored the
heaviest loss OF the day.
The market closed fairly steady after q
slight rally but at or near the lowest prices
Railroad bonds were again very dull and
in the main displayed a heavy tone, but the
final changes of note are quite irregular,
though losses exceeded the gains. The trad
ing reached only Ss6l, 900, with no activity in
any portion of the list.
Government bonds were dull and steady.

Firmer.

MoYDAY, Aug. 49,
Sales of creamery butter were made on
the Elgin Board to-day at 25c and the mar
ket was quoted very strong at the price
named. This will not cause much of an
advance here, if any, but the advices re-
garding the situation indicate that prices
will be higher. Consumption is running
neck and neck with production, and as long
as such q condition prevails a buoyant mar
ket may be looked for.
Grain is tending downward, wheat, corn
and oats being lower. Millers will not pay
more than 76c for new No. 2 red wheat, ana
they refuse to paw much, If any, more for old
No. q They are pretty well stocked up
Flour is weaker, and an early decline in quo
tations is probable.
Potatoes are doing better. Stocks have
been pretty well reduced, receipts are COM
paraJively light and the demand is improy-
ing as the season advances.
Grapes are coming in freely, but the de-
mand is light and prices are lower. The crop
promises to be an unusually large one
Apples promise to be much higher. The
Canadian crop will be short and foreign
crops are failures.
