MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review

New York, Aug. 20.-The engagement of
S2,O00,0C0 gold in London yesterday for
shipment to New York did not have the
effect on stock prices confidently predict
ed by operators of bullish proclivities. In
fact, the market for securities, after n
moderate advance, developed weakness.
and in the final hour the lowest figures of
the day Were generally current. At the
start the indifference of London was a
disappointment, foreign houses having
sold fairly large amounts of ST. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville. Later on, when
the actual sales for Sterling exchange
recovered, sharply checking further i'm
ports of gold, the bearish clement became
more aggressive. Special attention was
paid to eWstern Union, Sugar and the
other ndustriaIs, and in the absence Of
support, sellers were able to make some
impression on prices. Sugar declined "a
to l032,, Western Union to 765s, Chicago
Gas 19s to 50, Rock Island 1ss to Sis,
Northwest y to 93ia, Louisville and Nash
Vile I, to SO. and Manhattan is to 764. In
the afternoon session, brokers usually
representing the leading bears, We're the
largest sellers. Reports We're again cur
rent that the banks intended to issue
clearing house certificates shortly, but
this could not be confirmed. So far as
the issue of certificates is concerned, it
ought to be understood by this time that
the banks stand ready to afford all the
necessary accommodations to the mer-
camille community, and that the clearing
house loan committee is still in existence
with all its machinery. If required, the
committee can get to work at once, ac-
cording to its chairman, MIR. Tappen.
Speculation closed weak in tone, with
prices anywhere from Z to rs per cent.

YANKTON, S. D., Sept 10.-(Special)- y
The southern part of this state will hold
a greater number of fairs this month than
ever before in the history of the state. The
state fair will be held at Yankton for the
irst time, and the directors are endeavor-
ing to make a credtable exhibition of the
products of the state. No attempt has
been made to turn this fair into a circus
or carnival. Its principal attractions will
be horse racing and farm displays. Sioux
Falls, with her usual enterprise, offers a
varied program and valuable cash premt-
ums for those attending the tri-
state fair. Sioux Falls made a
failure in her dealings with the State Board
of Agriculture a year ago, and since that
time has been engaged in putting up a show
that will convince the public that she can
have a fair without the assistance of the
state board. Buffalo Bill is the big attrac-
tion for this fair. Scotland will have its
district fair as usual and Clay county will
follow its custom of having county expos-
tion, regardless Of what her neighbors may
be doing. Land seekers excursionists are
coming into this state by hundreds looking
for suitable locations for homes and others
are buying for speculation. One party re-

DES MONIES, Sept 10.-(Special Tele-
gram)-The Missouri Elevator and Terminal
company of Kansas City and forty-five cor
porations and firms engaged in the grain and
milling business in that city and vicinity,
today filed in federal court here a petition
against the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific
railroad. An injunction is asked to compel
the roads to put in more equitable grain
rates. 1t is asserted that the present rates
are running the grain and milling business
of Kansas City. The petition recites the
facts concerning the recent war on grain
rates from Missouri river points to the Mis-
sissipDi river and Chicago. 1t sets forth that
the Gulf roads cut first, and to meet this the
Kansas City and Chicago lines reduced their
rates an average of 10 cents per hundred
weight of all grains leaving them about
half the original rates. These rates were
made to apply only on business originating
west of Kansas City. The petition claims
1t Is a direct discrimination against the
grain and milling interests of Kansas City,
in which nearly 900 of capital is in
volved. 1t is stated that seventy-fve firms
there, because grain will be shipped direct to
Chicago or Davenport and cannot stop at
Kansas City The Rock Island road is sin
gled out for the purpose Of this action, it
being expected the other roads will abide
by the decision in this case. 1t is alleged
the rates are in violation of the Interstate
commerce law. An injunction is asked to re-
strain the road from continuing in force the
present rates. J. G.. Wooson of the fed
eral court is not here and it is not known
when this will be heard H"Hf
