IN SPITE OF THE WEAKNESS
SHOWN BY THE STOCK
MARKET.
PRICES IMPROVED A SHADE.
EXPORT DEMAND A FACTOR In
SUSTAINING QUOTATIONS In
THE PIT.
ANOTHER SLUMP IN PROVISIONS.
Free Liquidation by Tired Holders to
Blame for the Weakness in
Hog Products.

CHICAGO, July 16.-In spite Of tumbling
prices in Wall street and weakness in local
securities wheat held its own today, and even
improved shade over yesterdays close. The
export inquiry continues good, and Paris ca
bles reported an advance there equivalent to
Use. Corn was heavy on fine crop prospects,
Oats showed firmness bad crop reports
Provisions were weak selling by tired
holders. The wheat market started shade
higher than 1t closed yesterday, the principal
reason for the slight additional strength be-
ing the fact that prices here were practically
at an export rate. Liverpool opened a shade
under yesterdays closing prices. In the aft
ernoon some of the bids from Liverpool were
advanced, permitting the working of 100000
bushels in all, including a 49, 900 bushel deal
in the afternoon. September wheat opened
1sc to Ac higher. and after iuctuating be-
tween 56Ac and 5614c, gradually settled to
557sQ56c, and during the greater part Of the
session the range was between sec and 56Ac
The lowest for the day was $780, but not
much was parted with at that figure. Aside
from discouraging Wall street conditions rou-
tine news was generally favorable to holders
Northwest receipts were 282 cars compared
with 403 week ago, but in comparison with
only 1873 cars last year. English bids for
flour were advanced, and good business was
done. The corn country was favored with
cooler temperature and rain. That made the
market heavy. September ranged from 27A
Q273sc to 27%c and closed at 271k@273sc The
volume of business in oats was fairly heavy.
September started at 1870 and sold at 1873
1t closed at 1870, showing advance Of 40
nc since yesterday Pork declined zoe and
closed with net loss of 15c; lard dropped sc
and ribs 21ac. Estimated receipts for tomor-
row: Wheat 273 cars; corn 238 cars; oats,
1879 cars; hogs, $1,000 head.

The Western Freight association
Park hotel, Minnetonka, adjourned
yesterday, to meet again Aug. 2.
While it was harmonious meeting it
was not particularly successful from
the standpoint of the business done.
The fact that a number of interested
lines were not represented, as stated
in the G 10 b e of yesterday, caused
were there and who were not advised
of the cause Of the vacant chairs.
Nearly all of the questions were re-
ferred, positive action being taken
only on one matter. The meeting of
rate clerks to check up the grain rates
arranged for Tuesday in Chicago, was
changed to Friday. The coal rates.
will be lowering. The probable
grain rate from the Missouri river to
Chicago will be Is cents a hundred.
One of the roads Running into st. Paul
requested a lowering of the merchan-
disc rates from Chicago or ST. Louis
to st. Paul This, too, was referred to
the manager of the interested roads
and was one of the most important
features of the meeting. Whether the
road proposing the reduction will take
this action Independently is uncertain
The only change Of note was the re-
duction in rates on books in carload
lots, Chicago to st. Paul. The old
rate of 60 cents was reduced to 40
cents.

NEW YORK, July 16-The unfavoroh,o -
nuences which dominated yesterdays stock
arhet were again operative TODAY and the
S Spetuiation was feverish. The Changers IN
uustrlais, Coalers and Vanderbilts were fore
most In the dealings. After an almost min
terrupted decline in the general market re-
coveries were generally made in the last hour
, urlnsing prices up to about the opening fig
los. Inc depressing factors included Mr.
vahaerDiits illness, the decreasing govern
ment gold reserve, further weakness in row
eminent bonds, and estimates of aggregate
SSa aS OF gold for Saturday and Tues
gay o OF next week. ranging from 49, 600 900 to
$4,ooeOoo. There was no news bearing uuon
the general situation, aside from the con
s sioeratlons above noted, and the rally in the
last hour was on extensive covering Of shorts
based on unverifed rumors of the Completion
OF syndicate for the purpose of purchasing
$l0O, 900 block of government bonds
mere was also evidence of support at the
extreme low point by powerful financial inter-
ests. Moderate buying of the leading inter-
national shares for foreign account was also
noted. The market opened unsettled and
1alriy active, and, after a brief interval
prices began to sag under liquidating orders
and heavy bear selling. The aggregate of
dealings made larger total than has been
reached Tor a long time, exceeding 440, 900
SHARES, and the business was unusually well
distributed, with Sugar and St. Paul a long
way In advance of the other shares in point
Of activity. The first named was prominent
in the early depression, which was eventually
shared py the general market The closing
was strong in tone. Railroad bonds were
active and weak on sales of 81, 1868, 900. Gov
