In Wall Street.

New York, Aug. 6.-Stocks today were ac-
five and Wea the Eaang fofa Thsg bssv q
ness of the market was due principally to
the activity of the bear leaders, who in the
absence Of bull support are practically in
control of current speculation: At the OPEN
ing London sold heavily of Louisville and
Nashville and other stocks dealt in abroad.
The selling of western stocks was attribu-
ted to reports of damage to crops in tho
northwest, while Louisville and Nashville
ment for July just published. Following
the foreign selling there was an attack on
BY local operators. Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, as of late. was the objective point,
ing down to SIN. 1t was again stated that
the directors viii be compelled to reduce the
dividend on the stock The same argument
break tre in prices dislodged considerable long
stock, and shifting of loans followed as
natural result These forced sales added to
the depression and disturbed confidence

were predicted. The failure in mercantile
circles and the suspension at the cotton ex-
change also had their influence with the dis
couraged bulls. The important losses in the
usually active list follow: Chicago. Burlng-

SUMS COTTON Rav1aw.

New York, Aug. 6.-The SUMS cotton re-
view says: Cotton opened l to points low
err on some months, recovered this and adj
vanced slightly, reacted and declined to
16 points, recovered this and at one time
was % to "a points higher, but later reacted
and closed at net advance of Is to 16 points
on most months August advanced "a points.
The close was weak, with sales of AL 400
bales.
Today's features: The shorts were still
running today and prices advanced. At first
there was a decline on reports of rain in
Mississippi, but the weather report showed
only very slight precipitation in that state
the total being so of an inch. In the south
west the drouth remains unbroken, and tho
signal service predicted generally fair
: weather for the next thirty-six hours, SO
prices rallied and advanced sharply. Liver
pool responded to the rise here yesterday,
New orleans bought and fresh reports Of
damage were received There was also con-
siderable new buying, The southern spot
markets were generally higher. Before the
close there was a sharp reaction. yet the
last prices showed a substantial improve
ment for the day. Liverpool sold, and local
operators took profits on the big rise. The
break in Wall street also had a depressing
effect. Two failures We're announced on the
floor, but they had little, If any, influence.
The dry goods market was somewhat better
today, but print cloths continue dull and

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-Everything dealt in
on the board of trade suffered from weak.
enervation was most pronounced towards
the close, and it was then that the lowest
guising the fact that confidence has been
badly shaken by the recent failure of the
Moore Brothers, and anxiety over the final
outcome OF affairs on the LOCAL stock ex-
change continues to be felt Taken in con-
nection with this break in the New YORK
hension Holders of wheat sold literally,
and short sellers were disposed to help along
declining values. Statistical news and crop
reports carried little weight. AT the open
ing of the market sympathy with the de-
Ginning corn prices was the prominent fac.
that: September wheat opened at 5S1s@5oA9,
declined to 56Sc, closing at 563sc, &c per
bushel lower than yesterday; Cash wheat
was weak and also &c per bushel lower.
The corn market came to the front as an
interesting affair this morning. Right at
the opening a bear. raid was made and
prices slumped quickly, receiving little sup
port from any source. September corn was
the weaker satn option the selling Of that
rent of weakness prevailed throughout the
session. September corn opened at 241@@
under yesterday. Cash corn was weak,
selling at a decline Of 1ac. and closing nomi-
T6e acton etc oe of prices in the Oats market
was similar to those in wheat and corn, and
was ruled to a large extent by those grains.
Cash oats were steady for Old and weak
for new, the decline in the latter being 1s41c
per bushel.
Provisions-The trade in provisions, whilst
presenting a little more life than ordinarily,
was nevertheless not to be compared in
volume with that seen on Tuesday and
Wednesday. There was less support to
prices, and the selling orders were, of more
Importance than the buying A liberal de-
cline took place early, after which steadi-
ness ruled for a time. Packers and profess
SIGNALS were arrayed against prices. The
e,ltreme weakness of wheat extended to
this market later, and at the close there
was no firmness to be seen. September pork
,.osed 45c lower, September lard 221aQ25c
lower and September ribs 15c lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
