enlivening influence of wheat was felt to a
marked extent. The market was without in

Provisions were strong and a considerable

number of orders from outside sources. Most
OF the trading, however, was confined to pork.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-The bulls were not
aggressive, and there was not, at any time
during the day, an active buying demand.
The bulls were in a waiting mood, and their
position was rather defensive. A bear raid
to be successful must dislodge stop loss
orders in such quantities that they cannot
be absorbed by buying orders. The bears
encountered this obstacle at a very early
stage of the decline today. Some adverse
effect was produced upon prices by the hard
ening in the rates of sterling exchange and
there has been some disposition to discount
the effect of early importations of gold in
the buying of stocks. The course of exchange
today was in response to the hardening of
the discount rate in London and belief that
the Bank of Englands minimum rate of
discount would be raised. Sugar was active
ly traded in. and the price moved quite
freely over range of more than points,
and its late strength was factor in rally
ing the market The sensational jump in
the wheat market also had a sustaining in
huence in the late dealings. St. Paul was
firmer than the average Of the list on its
second weeks earnings. The days important
net advances: Sugar, 2; Chicago & Eastern
Illinois, Metropolitan Traction, Missouri Pa
cific, IL, and Ann Arbor preferred. The
principal declines were in Consolidated Gas,
Lackawanna, Illinois Steel, Long Island, New

Oregon Short Line, Pullman and Rubber.
The bond market displayed very firm tone

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 1S.-It cannot be said
that there were any new developments in
the wheat situation to cause such radical
change in speculative sentiment as was shown
at the opening this morning. Last night the
market closed weak and the trade as whole
put the cold shoulder to wheat. This morning
they were willing to embrace it, and willing
to give good premium for the first chance.
First prices paid for September wheat were
a full cent over yesterdays close and short
ly after farther advance of &c was scored
From this point there was a slight decline
only to be followed by a quick upturn to
SIC, as against Sic at yesterdays close. At
this point the market halted, declined Nc and
continued stubborn up to II 80 a. m. The
news of the day favorable to the bulls.
September wheat opened at SIC, aginst Sic
yesterday; advanced to 82ssc, lost nc, gained
i4c, lost &c, advanced to 83c, declined to
S29sc, frmed up to S2%c, lost Nc, jumped to
S334 @S312c, lost Lice by Has a. NJ. and by
noon held at S3Ac.
December wheat opened at SIC, against
&c. gained Ne, declined to size, advanced
sharply to SIC by 11:45 and by noon held at
S1Mc.
The cash wheat market was a little wor-
ried today, owing to a difference of opinion
as to the values of old and new wheat and
their relation to the future market No.
northern was old on a basis of 1OAc over
September; No. 1 northern, new, sold at
premium Of &c over; No. northern was
hone Of contention and various prices paid
according to the quality of the individual
SdIlplS. OdleS were maui DIS per statement
below. Receipts here were 122 cars and 40
cars shipped out.
The market was very strong and active dur
ing the last hour of the session, with shorts
rushing for cover on rather sensational reports
of large sales being made at all points The
shorts were stricken hard and were frantic
in their efforts to get in with as little loss
as possible. September wheat closed at S6kc
and December at 85c.
