CURED In yesterdays bear raid, The
fear OF the Introduction OF yellow fever

foothoId among our forces. had as much
to do with yesterdays decline as did the
fears Of military setback. This was
indicated BY the sharp recovery to-day
in such stocks as Louisville & Nash
vile and Southern Railway preferred.
There was brief period OF depression
at the opening due to the sympathy
with London, where the belief prevail-
ed that the Spaniards would refuse TO
surrender Santiago and thus necessi-
tate a long siege. The local bears early
evinced uneaslness and bought stocks
to cover short contracts put out with
great confidence yesterday. Their con-
hdence had been unsettled not only by
the strong belief expressed In official

would surrender, but also by Teallza-
ton that the favorable eject of the sue
cess OF the government loan would have
to be met. The covering movement was
aided by raid upon the anthracite
group, which yielded easily and drag
ged the market back to near last nights
level, about which Il drifted very slug
gIshly until the Anal upward movement.
Net gains In most active stocks were

Omaha and Hawaiian Commercial

CHICAGo-unfayorable threshInG re-
turns and disappointing crop news
caused covering by shorts to-day in
wheat. September advanced baAc.
Corn rose &1Sc and oats &c, Pork
and ribs gained 2iac each and lard &c.
The Cincinnati Price Current came to
the rescue OF the downward tending
wheat market at the start by remark
Ing that the disappointment as TO yields
continued and that former estimates
we're being steadily reduced, The for
mer estimates were being steadily re-
duced. This, together with private adj
vices from some sections OF poor
threshing returns infused little cOur-
age into believers in small crop.
Shorts were also impressed to the ex-
tent Of covering some OF the wheat sold
during the weak spell yesterday after
noon. The London market was likewise
Arm and Sd a quarter higher for "oit
coast" and ION passage" and as con-
sequence the price OF September here
advanced &c over last nights close. An
attempt. however, to secure some pro-
1T on the long side caused jGc break
and that was In turn reversed when a
prominent bear put brokers into buy
the last named decline. The amount OF
business done in the pit was the small
est in twelve months, some traders said
In twelve years. This 1t was claimed,
was due chiefly TO the corrodlng In
fuence OF the war tax. Chicago receive
ed iortY-fOur cars. OF which thirty
eight we're new. Receipts last year were
thirty-one. Minneapolis and Duluth got
ffty-four cars, against 2b9 at the cor
responding time the year previous. At
llntic port clearanccs OF wheat and
flour were equal to $4,000 bushels.
July opened unchanged at 74c. on to
7alsc, up TO Tc, declined TO 72&c, then
rallied to 73Mc, the closing price. Sep
TENDER started unchanged to &c higher
nj 61ikd6TMc, advanced to G7AdGT5Sc,
dropped to C67sc, then recovered, to
G7jiGi67SSc asked at the close.
The report OF the Price Current that
the corn crop condition was moderately
less assuring. much OF It approaching a
critical condition together with talk OF
hot winds strengthened corn. Light re-
ceipts were also n factor September
opened MGho higher at 3l7sd39c, rose
to S2hc then sold of to S2d32Mc bid at
the close.
Onts sympnthlzed with the other
grains. There was n better shipping
demand. September started Nc higher
at i9btc, advanced TO 1880, declined TO
i9c, then recovered to i9Ikdi9hc, the
closing price.
A good demand for cash products was
productive OF better feeling In provis-
ions. September pork opened 80 higher
at 80 90d9 95, rose to $40 90, weakened
10 50 SO, then rallied to 50 org at the
close.

NEW YoRR-The dry goods market

results while heavy enough to give a
basis for future belief in the markets
for fall goods are not heavy enough to
satisfy sellers. There Is sprinkllng

port a daily business OF fair proper
tions. out-ot-town jobbing houses say
that the consuming trade continues
