CHICAGO MARK FITS.



Chicago. Aug. 17-Corn was the leader
of the markets to-day. Conditions have
been propitious for a recovery from the
setback which the corn crop suffered in
consequence of the late drouth and the
present outlook was said to be vastly
more assuring. The start was fairly
steady at about the previous DAYS closing
figures but the strength did not last long
very soon IL became apparent that big
lines OF corn were for sale and that
brought out smaller lots in large numbers.
At every slight reaction during the ses-
sion offerings overwhelmed the buyers so
that at last shorts who had been willing
10 take moderate profits held of and de-
prived sellers OF their chief customers.
The market continued TO decline right up
TO the close. September lost 1Lc on the
day.
Wheat was momentarily weak at the
opening and then turned strong. The
start for September was at from s5Hc 10
6oh compared with s5ssc bid at the
close yesterday. In the course OF an hour
IL rose to ss7sc and turned down again
from that point on account of weakness
in corn.
The receipts OF wheat were so small that
short sales for September seemed risky.
and extremely so in connection with the
fact that at the same time September
was worth only 65lac. No. 2 red winter
was sold for shipment at 7O&c in store.

was more the result OF light offerings than
heavy purchases and the buying was for

NEW YORK O REPORT
Digest o~fExchanse N~ews-Minins Stocks
Metal Quotations-wool Prices and
Movements-Grain and Pro-
d~uce-Review of Trade.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE feature of the
day in the stock market was the action
Of the directors of the c. B. & Q. in ad-
vancing the quarterly dividend on the
stock to 6 per cent. rate. Although this
action has been rumored and had been
industriously discounted in the advance
of the stock so many days past and profits
already taken on the advance. the an
nouncement to-day was met by a furious
outburst of speculation in that and all
the other granger stocks which carried
Burlington full 3 points over the previous
high level of the movement. The action of
the directors is accepted as Indicative of
their belief In the power of the property
10 maintain earnings at last years high
level. limitations are given that the
forthcoming statement of July earnings
Will show last years average maintained.
The statement OF st. Paul for the second
week In August is corroborative of the ev-
idence In the earning power of the gran
gers. The increase I'm earnings over last
year is SCI, 26l, and over 1892 1.-THE largest
corresponding week in the roads history,
the increase is more than So. 600. Such a
showing by the roads most affected BY the
present very light movement of grain Is
convincing evidence of the large general
trafftc which the awakening of business is
bringing 10 the railroads. The renewed
impetus given to the advance In prices
was a natural consequence.
The Burlington news came on a yield
from the market due to an enormous
liquidation of profits on the recent ad-
vance. This realizing had been going on
for more than hour to take advantage
of the very heavy outside dmand for
stocks, and had resulted In the marketing
of upwards of a third of a million of
shares of stock with only a fractional i'm
preston on prices. which were. however,
at the low point with the exception of
some of the industrials, notably Leather,
Cotton, OIL and stocks of the iron and
Steel companies.
Burlington bounded up from the low
point about five points, st. Paul pa, and
each stock in the group advanced sharp
ly. The stocks later settled down TO a
firm and quiet tone. The only exceptions TO
the strength were the stocks advanced
yesterday and the day before, which were
held back by proft-taking. The Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific stocks were
conspicuous examples. A squeeze Of shorts
in Sugar and a shaking out OF weekly
margined holdings in Tobacco were fea-
lures of the late trading. Top prices were
clipped by profit-taking and the closing
was steady and only slightly below the
best. The easing of the sterling exchange
buying OF stocks in London for New York
market continued large Tor bonds at high
er prices.
Total sales, s4,0e5 900. u. S. as when is
sued advanced Il per cent. in the bid
price. Government bonds were otherwise
unchanged.

or the wool trade. Taking the market as
a whole the situation IL very quiet. Ev-
erything now depends on the goods mar
ket. which still fails TO respond Ia expec-
tations. The sales this week may be con-
sidered surprisingly large I'm view of the
talk Of dun business which has been
heard on every side. As a matter OF fact.
however. the total has been ma
terially enhanced by a few large transac-
tons.
In point Of numbers the sales seem TO
be increasing from week 10 week, but the
fragmentary character of the sales is also
apparent. The sales of the week i'm Bos-
ton amount TO 2.025. 90 pounds domestic
and b4l, 600 pounds foreign, making a to-
tai OF 256i.eO pounds against a total OF
3.339,0O pounds for the previous week ana
a total OF 10, 900 pounds for the CORE
spending week last year. Sales since Jan.

25',lsh5o pounds at this time last year.
