The fear of the Introduction OF yellow
fever into this country IL 1t should

as much 10 do with yesterdays decline
as did the fears of a military setback.
This was indicated by the sharp re-
covery to-day in such stocks as LouIL-
Vile & Nashville and Southern railway
preferred. There was a brief period
of depression at the opening, due to the
sympathy with London, where the be-
lief prevailed that the Spaniards would
refuse to surrender Santiago and thus
necessitate a long siege. The local
bears early evinced uneasiness and
bought stocks TO cover short contracts
nut out with great confidence yester-
dav. Their confidence had been IN
settled not only by the strong belief ex-
pressed in official circles in Washing
ton that Santiago would surrender, but
also by a realiztion that the favorable
effect of the success Of the govern
ment loan would have TO be met. The
covering movement was aided by a
raid upon the anthracite group, which
yielded easily and dragged the market
back to near last nights level. abou.
which it drifted very sluggishly until
the final upward movement. Net gains
in most active stocks were near a point
and in some cases, notably Omaha and
Hawaiian Commercial. gains exceeded
3 points. The entire portion OF the
government loan by small subscrip-
lions seems practically assured. There

Chicago. July 14.-Unfavorable
threshirg returns and disappointing
crop news caused covering by shorts
to-day in wheat September advanced
4@Ac. Corn rose A@asc and oats
ssc. Pork and ribs gained 21ac each
and lard sc.
The Cincinnati Price Current came to
the rescue Of the downward tending
wheat market 6t the start by remark
ing thai the disappointment as to yields
continued and that former estimates
we're be.n gsteadily reduced. This, to-
gether with private advlces from some
sections Of poor threshing returns In
fused a little courage into believers IN
a small crop. Shorts were also i'm
pressed to the extent Of covering some
Of the wheat sold during the weak
spell yesterday afternoon. The London
market was likewise firm and I'D a
quarter higher for "off coast" and "on
passage" and as a consequence the
price of September here advanced &c
over last nights close. An attempt,
however, to secure some profit on the
long side caused 1ac break, and That
was in turn reversed when prominent
bear put brokers in to buy the last
ramed decline. The amount OF bust
ness done in the pit was the smallest
in twelve months, some traders said in
twelve years This 1t was Claimed, was
due chiefly to the corroding influence OF
the war tax. Chicago received A cars,
of which SO were new. Receipts last
year were 81. Minneapolis and Duluth
got "a cars against 259 at the CORE
spending time the year previous. At
lantic port clearances of wheat and
-four were equal to 1000 bushels.
July opened unchanged at TAG, off
to 1910, I'D TO FAC, declined to 72&c,
then rallied to 1880, the closing price.
September started unchanged to Ac
higher at 67k @67asc, advanced to 67h
@673sc, dropped to $3.50, then recov-
cred to GIN 667Ac asked at the close.
The report of the Price Current that
the corn crop condition was moderately
less assuing, much of it approaching a
critical condition together with talk of
hot winds, strengthened corn. Light
receipts were also a factor. September
opened 1s0Ac higher at 31A@32c, rose
to 321lc. then sold off to 32Q32hc bid
at the close. 9di TO sr0u .i
Oats sympathized with the other
grains. There was a better shipping
demand. September started &c higher
at 1910, advanced to 191ac, declined to
19c, then recovered to 1913 @19Ac at the
close.
A good demand for cash products
was productive of a better feeling in
provisions September pork opened
sc higher at s9.90G9.95, rose to $1,000,
weakened to s9S5, then rallied at s9921a
