 There was heavy rainfall in South Caro- lima and Georgia, rather copious precipi- Texas. The rainfall for forty-eight hours was 1.75 inches at Columbus, .76 inches at Cairo, 16 at Ballinger. 40 at Beeville, .46 at LampaSas, .3S at Kerrville and .04 at Hous- ton, Corsicana and Orange. Many of the above points are in southern Texas, where rain was needed
 Today's features: Although prices at one time were higher. they subsequently, re- acted, owing to a weaker tone in the Eng fish market, and rain in southern Texas, where they were needed. Still they ended at about where they stood at the close ern Texas needs good deal more rain. In some parts of the cotton belt the rainfall seems to be rather too heavy. but the Texas weather news is watched with more interest fess confidence iIi the future of the market on the ground that trade Is brisk and the crop is likely to be much smaller than that of last year.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-The bulls got good shaking up today; It was not that they had no news or statistical figures in their favor, but more by reason of the lack of confi- dence and the dread of the movement of the new. wheat, as it is hardly believed that the receipts at the interior points will continue at their present moderate volume for great while longer. Prices opened higher, b9t 1t wass not difficult to perceive that the firm ness was insecure, and within the first half hour declines taking place placed values un-

Whilst the different cities were reporting their cir supplies hung fire but when all points were heard from and the stocks showed decrease of disappeared and from that time until the close there was gradual , setting III d1oWn y the day. September wheat opened from 669s to 663sc, sold between 665s and 6i3sc, closing at 647sQ6ac, 1l4Q1asc lower than Saturday Cash wheat was easy and lsQ1c per bushel Corn-A good beginning made bad end ing in corn today. Industrious circula tion tions from store was successful in raising prices on the curb. and with the gain so place The enthusiasm was only half-heart- ed, however and after the first half hour prices under Saturdays close September corn opened from 391a to Ss24c, sold between figufe, ssMlsc under Saturday The cash market was easy and a4c per bushel lower.
 Oats-That oats were firm early and weak later was entirely through the force of some power of theother and the more im- portant grain markets. The trade in this market was without noteworthy feature, and the news was merely of the usual routine character. September oats closed 1ac under Saturday. Cash oats were weak and 14@1ac per bushel lower.
 Provisions-A steady market for provis- ions was noted today The steady feeling was, however, at an improvement al closing quota tionS of Saturday. The stock yards reported a stronger hog market both at the opening and the closing, and operators in products were inclined to take heed of that condition. There was not much doing, how ever, and the trade presented no new or startling developments. At the close Sep tember pork was 10c higher than Saturday, September lard 219c higher and September ribs 15c higher
 The leading futures ranged as follows.

It was also said that the United States courts will order the proceedings against the company referred back to the state courts as petitioned for by Attorney General Naloney of Illinois. American Sugar was weaker in sympathy and fell from 1141s to ll1%411cAz Chicago Gas fell 1% to 6f5sc, and later -.eacted to 63AQ63.
 The railway list was not affected by the manipulation in Tobacco and some of the prominent issues were decidedly strong.

The sales of shoes thus far this yeSr have been larger than in any preceding one, There were transmitted from the New England factories up to the 1st of August 431 ,609 cases more than in the same time in 1894 and 300, 759 more than in the same time in 1893. This includes rubbers, but the pro- portions do not vary essentially from year to year. Half of this increase represents the enlarged consumption attributable to the numbers which have been added to the pop ulation. The other half may be accounted for on the theory that there has been a wider distribution and from that the in- ference is deducible that stocks are greater to that extent than they were a year ago.
