Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO. Aug. 2s-For good part Of the
morning wheat was firm at a slight advance in
prices Liverpool showed but a small opening
decline and more than recovered this before
the close there. A more important consdera-
ton the small worlds shipments and more
particularly those from Russia. whose large
exports last week were important factor in
causing downward turn to the market. Rus
sia this week reported shipments of 499. 900
bushels, the total worlds shipments being
5739,0 600 bushels. Northwest receipts were
somewhat larger, but not enough so TO bear
buyers at the opening Northwest and other
outside markets were weaker than this and
some pressure was put on the market by pro-
fesslonals and elevator people for this reason.
which caused a temporary decline. September
opened 14c TO sc higher at 707sc. and declined
TO 70lhC. December opened SIC to lac higher at
y 72c, and eased off to 729sQ72i5c. The de-
cline was stopped by the statement that the
visible supply had decreased l.517, 900 bushels.
and the sackening in the selling pressure COM
ing at a time when shorts were covering, prices
advanced again. September getting to 70sq7lc
points of the day. A period of comparative
inactivity followed. but before noon the market
turned decidedly weak the reported arrival
of 800 cars OF new wheat at Duluth and by
much more favorable thrashng returns from
the Northwest Elevator people and profess
sonal bears were not slow to take advantage
of this and pounded the market persistently
from then until the end OF the session. De-
cember declined to 717sc and September to 7Oc
10 cover at those figures and a slight rally
occurred, but the general feeling was weak
to the close. The seaboard reported large
export business in the break. but the cash
market poor. September closed at 709

Corn was weak for September but steady for
December and May. Crop reports continued
favorable. September closed 9sc lower. De
cember closed lsc lower. The speculative mar

The market for provisions was firm but dull
Receipts of hogs were moderate and large de-
creases in stocks were reported. particularly

considerable bleached wheat and some has

EASTERN MARKETS
Ne7V York Stock Market.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-There was a marked
falling off Of interest in railroad stocks to-
day compared with that prevailing last week.
Interest shifted into the Industrial specialties,
and a number OF these were marked up in
feverish and irregular manner. The general
list was maintained with difficulty and a slight
furry in call money in the last hour carried
prices with the few exceptions Of strength.
below last nights level. In the final harden
ing movement on covering by shorts, some Of
the specalties and few obscure railroad
stocks rose to top level. This made the clos
ing Of the market firm. but the majority OF
standard stocks sLo" Irl lvsscS. All i.tI lllltu
ental factor in the hesltatlns ana uouoliuI
tone and speculation was the renewed anxiety
over the money market outlook caused by sat
urday's bank statement Nall money was qulIe
stfthy held at per cent all day and was
marked above that in the last hour, possibly
not without manipulation. But the fact re
mains that the present low stage of surplus
reserves Of the New York Clearing House banks
keeps the financial world keenly observant and
IN a somewhat uneasy frame of mind. Pro
fessi1ns OF confidence that the West is amply
provided with funds to finance the coming crop
movement without calling on New YORK, do
not altogether avail IN the face OF the con
dltion of the local banks. Neither does the
