CHICAGO, Aug. 1a-The strikes at the East
caused general selling OF grain and hog
products this morning and everything ruled
lower The wheat market opened weak, but
before it dropped into the state of utter
decentralization which characterized it about
the middle of the session. it had half hour
OF comparative steadiness. The frost which
the spectators were troubled about yester-
day did not materialize this side of the
region OF perpetual snow. That was the first
disappointment encountered by the bulls
when they looked over the routine budoet
OF the early news. Foreign markets were
easier, but Liverpool advised a fair de-
mand existing at the reduced quotations
Later in the day a cable to a New York
house reported red winter wheat I'd Ioyerat
Liverpool, and the most extreme weakness
of the day followed the receipt of the latter
dispatch. The continued heavy movement

from stockholders for an extra dividend of

reason an extra dividend may not be de-

FRIDAY, Aug 10.
Sugar was advanced another 10 per 10
in this market to-day, and Eastern refners
marked up all grades from cut loaf down to
No. 1-16c per lb. The market is quoted
very strong and active at the advance. Re-
fners are pretty we'll sold ahead, and many
OF the refneries are being run night and
day. Raw sugar is also in very strong
position, and, altogether, the indications
point to further advance.
Grain was stronger in this section to-day,
but on the Chicago Board of Trade very
weak feeling prevailed, not only in the
cereals but in hog products. The local
situation sympathizes more or less closely
with the Chicago speculative markets, and
unless there is an upward reaction i'll the
West a lower range of prices will prevail
here soon. No. white oats sold on Change
to-day at 42c and extra No. white at 40c,
both for ten days delivery, but there are no
oats of consequence here and the trade re-
gard these prices as extreme. Feed is hold
ing up we'll and hay is rather weak.
Dairy products are showing an advancing
tendency and higher prices are looked for
next week. Choice country butter Is in
good demand at higher prices.
Wholesale boot and shoe dealers report an
improving inquiry for fall goods and there
are signs of an Improvement in hides and
leather.
The demand for fine sugar is strong and
consumption heavy. August is always
active month in the sugar market and the
present is not an exception. sales are not
expected TO be as large as year ago. owing
to the difference in the fruit crop and the
smaller pack

The New York Evening Posi- says: Though
the market to-day was fiuctuating and irreg-
ular, and marked by declines to q degree, it
was, on the whole, more normal market
than yesterdays 1t was simply gaining its
equilibrium after the forced efforts tina
nave been made to advance prices within
the last few days in the lace or conditions
largely unfavorable. 1t is probab Bile that
some traders were taught to base their oper-
ations too largely on predictions made by
bull operators in the industrials
