The Stock Markets.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Todays stock mar
ket was quite as remarkable for the listness-
ness and heaviness Of the standard securities
as 1t was for the animation and strength of
number of specialties The grangers, Union
Pacific, AtchisOn preferred Brooklyn Transit
sugar and most OF the railway shares were
seInl-stagnant all day, and most of them
closed with small net losses and with outside
fluctuations for the day of only small frac-
lions. The great combination Of iron and
steel companies was one Of the most notea-
bic influences which caused activity and
strength in the market today. The companies
known to be in the combine showed strength
all day, and the common and preferred stock
of the American Steel and Wire company
advanced and so, respectively, on rumors
that it was to be included in the consolda-
ton. Possibly the large buying and Sharp
gain or the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling
stocks were connected with the same cause
special one and was caused by q report
that reserve surplus to insure the preferred
dividend was in contemplation. Wabash pre-
ferred continues it's upward movement but
met floods of stock at a price of 24& and
eased off. The buoyancy of Peoples Gas at
the close did not save the balance of the
conspicuous movement in number OF
other stocks OF less prominence. Manhat-
tan was source of weakness all day, and
lost points at one time.
The announcement of the first gold i'm
ports impaired some vigor to the market, and
did not check further decline in sterling ex-
change. London discount rates advanced a
per cent, to 1B but this Is still 1A@1A
per cent below the rates for the corresponding
periods in New York. Money rates here were
unchanged, but continued firm, and the outgo
of cash from the banks to the subtreasury
on account Of bond subscriptions continued
In view of the apparent needs of the money
market the decline in government bonds, In
Guiding the new SO when issued Is some
what perplexing These bonds are supposed
to be in eager demand by the banks to
offer as security, for government deposits
thus relieving the drain of cash into the
treasury but also for circulation to meet
the growing interior demand. There were
some large transactions in bonds today, and
prices were quite firmly held, with few ex-
ceptions, notably the Atchison issues. Total
sales, $2,745,0O0. United States new As, the 5s

The Wheat Markets.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-At sharp advance in
corn today although not holding until the

wheat prices. September wheat closed 1b0

Liverpool before the opening here showed
Ad for December, which was sufficient to ac-
count for lower prices at the start. More
confidence was soon expressed by the traders
however, when they observed how little
wheat was for sale at the reduction. and how
much appeared to be wanted. The North
western receipts were SUFFICIENTLY liberal to
keep bullishness from taking very firm hold
OF the crowd, but there were fewer express
sions of beartshness to be heard. New York
reported early in the day that foreign de-
mand there for wheat for shipment was
more active than for some time previous 1t
was partly because OF the improved export
demand, but perhaps more on account of the
early bullishness of corn that September and
December wheat at Chicago quickly recov-
cred, the slight dip 1t made at the opening
Cash wheat was easy at about half one
cent decline for contract grade and lower

Chicago receipts were 286 cars, against AS

the receipts to the volume of last year was
one Of the most marked features of the days
developments Shipments from Atlantic and
Gulf ports equal in wheat and -four to 790 coo

greater influence with the crowd of anything
capable of beaTish interpretations
In the last hour the advancing tendency in
corn having been checked, wheat turned
weak and prices gradually worked lower.

LONDON FINANCIAL-London, Aug 81
american securities were irregular with a
ly steady. The hardening Of money today
is due to the requirements for the paymen.
OF treasury bills, the stock exchange settle
ment and the fact that more money is re-
CURED by the American section than expected.
A further rise in the rate of discount is
projected, owing to the American demand for
gold.
FOREIGN FINANCIAL-New York, Aug.
a-Evening Posts London financial cable,
gram says: THE chief feature in the stock
markets here today was the sudden furry in
money, which rose to ~ per cent, while the
discount rate went to rs per cent. The squirt
was partly due to the market having had to
pay yesterday for Fl, 500, 600 in treasury bills
while today is the last Of the month and
the stock exchange pay day. The market
had to borrow a large amount from the
Bank Of England. Gold was in strong de-
mand for New York in the open market at
IT'S 1O%d. Unless the orders are cunter-
manded eagles will leave the Bank OF Eng
land this week. The markets wera irregu-
lar. They opened weak on heavy Paris SELL
Ing, but later Paris bought freely and prices
here rallied accordingly. Americans opened
dull and then rallied on continental buy
chic. The close was firm. Baltimore & Ohio
was bought. The American market was de-
scribed in good quarters as nervous. The
rise in Argentines continues. I am told that
