Canadian Merchants Refuse to Ac-
cept American Silver.

HAMILTON, Ont, Aug. 1O-Following
the example of the Toronto banks, the
merchants and local banks here have de-
cided to refuse to accept American silver
and silver certificates. For years Ameri-
can bills and currency have been accept
ed at par by the merchants. United
be accepted in payment of city taxes
This action is not due entirely to the sill
yer agitation in the United States. but
to the fact that at present there is too
much American silver in circulation in
Canada

Chicago Markets.

Chicago, Aug. 1O-Within modern
limits the price of wheat responded
readily to the statistics incident to
Monday Early, however, some hest
fancy was apparent, due to the fact
that New York stocks were again in
condition approaching decentralization.
Later the smallness of the world s
shipments for the week. 400 900 bush
els-and decrease in the amount Of
ocean passage of $4,000 bushels COM
bined with a better feeling in Liverpool,
where prices were up aad, caused a
more sanguine feeling to develop, the
offerings becoming very light and
prices advanced. The visible supply
decreased 325, 1000 bushels Receipts at
Chicago were SIS cars, and 2560 S6 bush
els were withdrawn from store. North
western arrivals were S97 cars, against
26S last Monday and 1875 a year ago.
Export clearances amounted to 232. 2S7
bushels. The English visible supply
decreased COS, 900 bushels. About the
middle of the session corn weakened
and dragged wheat down with it. At
forwards there was a slight recovery
due to covering by shorts. September
wheat opened at from 81 to 56B, sold
between 5714 and 563s@561a, closing at
81, unchanged from Saturday. Estimat-
ed receipts for tomorrow, go cars.
Provisions-The provision market
was again pretty much in the same rut
that it was prior to the furry of last
week. Fluctuations were governed
early by the prevailing tone of the hog
market, which was weak. Later, to
accord with the speculative feeling in
other parts of the room, there was a.
recovery, pork advancing most. Sep
TENDER pork closed 3215c. higher, Sep
TENDER lard 715c. higher and September
ribs 1o@121Ac. higher. Closing prices:
Wheat-August, 56A; September, 81;
December 605k.
